Personality Project Analysis

Over the last 100 years, the underpinning concepts in the fields of psychology and counseling were wrought. Within this period, these concepts have transformed and evolved from somewhat crude conceptions of the psyche toward more holistic interventions and approaches. As the profession continues to move forward, adaptations of the original theorists regarding the nature of man and the development of personality continue to emerge. These adaptations, along with the integration of new concepts and ideas, continue to contribute to the field. The author describes his view of man and human nature, personality development, and explores potential implications for counseling.

Throughout my life, I’ve always had an immense interest in helping others. Being involved in the National Charity League for 5 years has given me the opportunity to be involved with charities that I otherwise would’ve never known about. I’ve had the privilege to help with over b charities in and around my community throughout my years as an NCL member. By far my favorite would have to be Grace’s Feed Our Kids that I have volunteered at every summer since my start in NCL. Through this charity, we are able to provide lunches and fun games to underprivileged kids in Grapevine during the unbearably hot Texas summer days. Each day we serve different meals, either donated from local restaurants or homemade by my NCL class, and have a variety of things for the kids to do, like coloring, water guns,

The Highland Middle School students completed a December service project on December 9. Students donated a new or gently used coat, scarf, hat, and/or gloves to benefit children ages 3-5 years old attending SIUE Headstart program.

On Monday, October 17th I volunteered to help the American Red Cross and other organizations at Purnell Swett High School. I was directed to a woman named Priscilla who oversaw a portion of the outdoor area. Our group was quite diverse. It consisted of young high school and college students, middle-aged parents, some senior citizens, and even a girl who appeared to be no more than nine years old. Everyone was in good spirits despite the recent tragedy. Our task seemed to be simple enough, however, we would soon discover it was going to take more planning. We were assigned to the rear of the school where we would sort through various bags and boxes of donations. Priscilla directed some of us to carry items to different rooms based on their size and whether the clothes were designed more males or females, children or adults. As organized piles began to form, these volunteers posted signs indicating the sizes in those piles. Priscilla asked a different group to take the flat boxes and fold and tape them to allow packing of the clothes. Another set of people were instructed to write the names of the recipients on the boxes. The final group, which later consisted of those who completed their share of the work already, was assigned to fill the boxes with appropriate items and seal them for delivery.

I was talking to my grandma earlier and I told her my plan and how I was going to give the kids at Children’s Hospital blankets. She said that it was a good idea, but that the hospitals already have a lot of blankets and then she recommended making them for the elderly at Presbyterian Homes who are all one and stuck there. I thought that my grandma’s suggestion was a really good idea and I set a goal for myself to make blankets for Presbyterian Homes. I really enjoyed making the blanket and I learned a lot, and I am looking forward to doing it again tomorrow and this

Blankets for Hope is the tool which I use to share my desire to build a strong community. Through giving out handmade blankets at homeless shelters, I can connect the public together to find strength and hope in one another. This club has a special place in my heart because it also deepened my personal relationships with friends and family. Hangouts on the weekends consisting of mindless video games and silent movie nights were replaced with blanket making and genuine conversations. In addition, Blankets for Hope allowed me to further unite like-minded peers who want to utilize their time and efforts to help

On December 22, I volunteered with Centre 55 through Minga. Our group put together boxes of food and moved supplies into trucks to be brought to where we would donate them. These boxes had food for a holiday dinner as well as other supplies, that particularly seniors are unable to get themselves. Once we had packed the trucks, we went to a few apartment buildings and brought it to the doors of the people. One challenge was that the boxes were heavy, and we were having a hard time carrying them to people’s doors. My group decided to take turns carrying the heaviest box so that everyone had a chance carrying the lighter bags. When residents of the building saw us, they were happy we were helping out, and this personally motivated me more.

This past December I volunteered through United Way for Adopt-A-Family. My job was to wrap the gifts for the families that wanted it. Many families did want the gifts wrapped, in my time wrapping I realized how many families that are in of assistance. Some did not ask for much, but others did ask for more. For Adopt-A-Family, the families request what they need for to provide an amazing Christmas morning. This day really opened my eyes to a number of families that there are out there who are in need of assistance in ensuring that each child gets the Christmas that they deserve. Having this eye-opening experience makes me want to reach out to all of the families that I possibly can that may not have gotten assistance whether they did not ask

a. According self tests using the Five Factor Model, my personality has low extraversion and emotional stability, a high degree of openness, and moderate levels of agreeableness and conscientiousness. Low extraversion is demonstrated in both professional and social envionments. While working a corporate job as a financial analyst, taking the time and initiative to interact with coworkers beyond the scope of the job was limited to a brief conversation once a day with the same two people. In large social gatherings, interactions are limited to familiar people with whom I have pre-existing friendships. If I attend a concert by myself, I will bring a book to read in between musical acts to prevent people from speaking to me. Low emotional

For my strengths and middle school personality, strategies that would be focused upon would be rooted in group work and discussion. The groups would be decided by the instructor in order to increase productivity. Having groups with both boys and girls might help young adolescents develop productive communication skills that will aid students that feel “awkward” when talking to the other sex. Interpersonal intelligence thrives in a group environment that has a lot of discussions. Turn and shares would be a great activity for interpersonal students in all content areas. For the musical/rhythmic students, relating assessments to musical theory or the combination of content and compositions would excite these students. Combining rhythms in a classroom

For April I made an online form for volunteers to fill out this form included three questioned why they like volunteering at Casa de Amparo. I used Google forms as I got that idea from my mentor. What they would like to have seen done differently and what different departments they would like to work in. I also made thank you cards and found a website on my own which I was lucky I found free called greetings island. I print them out so they could be sent out to the volunteers this website was simple and easy to pick the card already made which you can just change what you want to say I’m inside the font and the color of the font and the website is free. I spent a few hours looking around online before I found the gratitude game. I went to Michael’s to get colored popsicle sticks. Lastly, for me I got together a sign-up sheet for a bake-a-thon for the volunteer's staff would bring in anything of their choice for the volunteers and have a little party for them I also got a trophy for staff The website is free. Lastly for May, I got together a sign-up sheet for a bake-a-thon for the volunteer's staff would bring in anything of their choice for the volunteers and have a little party for

The purpose of this paper is to discuss characteristics of my personality. The main focus of this paper will be how my personality has developed over time. As I age and encounter new and different experiences, my personality has adapted and developed further. This paper will give an in-depth exploration into the people and events that have influenced my personality.

As I learned very quickly, it was very difficult to coordinate a day that worked for all of us to volunteer together or as a group. It was no surprise that a group of 20 honors students, busy with sports, clubs, academic commitments, and other activities, had a hard time fitting anything extra into their days. Although that was tough, I don’t know what was harder: picking a day that worked for all of us or deciding on the type of service we would do. After a lot of dispute, we finally found something that worked for all of us: using our time in class to make tie blankets. Before we even began our service to the community and to Masinyusane, I learned a lot about compromise, planning, and being open minded. All of these are essential when it comes to working in a group. It is constantly drilled through our heads throughout life that these values are important, but it

Self-awareness is important in the development of a leader, because by realizing your faults and the preventing yourself from falling into the traps. A few tools used to help make people those more self-aware of their leadership skills are the IPIP test and 360 degree feedback. Research shows by understanding and examining your personality predicts leadership to a certain degree.
