Jake Hourihan Ms. Speirs ENG 3U4 Wednesday February 4th 2015 Personality Traits Individuals in this world develop with a diverse set of traits, and personal aspects that are unique to themselves. That being said, some traits are more noticeable during the first interaction between you and the person. The purpose of this paper is to describe what I feel my three most prominent traits are. To be brief, I am eclectic in everything I do and I feel that I have a very diverse set of traits, being so, there are traits that stand out more than others. My first and foremost prominent trait is my attitude towards others, I feel that I am a kind person and carry myself as such when I am around others. Secondly, I am intelligible most of the time whether it is in or out of school and have an aptitude for solving problems. Lastly, my third most prominent trait is my athleticism, I enjoy keeping active whenever I get an opportunity. Analyzing the following examples and reasons stated in my paper will prove that my kindness, intelligence, and athleticism are my three most prominent traits. My first most prominent trait like previously stated is my kindness. I enjoy being able to help others and make others’ lives easier along with having the chance to brighten their day. An example of this is my neighbors. I live next to an elderly couple and it being winter in Canada they sometimes may find it hard to make it outside with the snow being a foot deep and all. So I make sure that when
Finally, my last characteristic (and my most important, personally) I enjoy helping people. Whether to be with homework or a personal situation, I am always willing to listen and help people accordingly. This is why I’m going to major in music education and minor in psychiatry is college; sharing knowledge and advice is something I’ve always succeeded at and been fond
I am a person who is independent. I don’t rely on anyone but myself to achieve my goals. I let my own motivation push me to where I want to be in life. I love to be active in any way I can. For example, I was a three-sport athlete throughout high school. Most of my time is spend either mountain biking, hiking or playing sports. Another characteristic of myself would have to be awkward. This comes from the way I perceive life, lacking the social
Have you ever wondered what three character traits would describe you? In our own words would you describe yourself differently they your friends and family. If I had to describe myself in three ways I would say I’m athletic, intelligent, and faithful.
The study of personality traits is beneficial in identifying the many variables that exist from human to human; the combinations of these variables provide us with a true level of individuality and uniqueness. In the field of psychology, trait theory is considered to be a key approach to the study of human personality (Crowne, 2007; Burton, Westen & Kowalski, 2009). This paper aims to identify a number of significant contributors who have played crucial roles in both the development and application of trait theory. This paper then moves focus to these theorists, outlining their theory and analysing both the strengths and weaknesses of those theories. An illustration of the methods used in trait measurement is given and includes the
The five traits that I picked out of my list were friendly, curious, enthusiastic, versatile, and imaginative. Out of all the options the list, I picked these because they fit me the most. I picked friendly because I feel like I am a friendly person and I think that it is really important to treat people how you would want to be treated. The next one I picked was curious because I am a very curious person and I always wonder “What could be”. Enthusiastic is a big one for me because I play baseball and it is a very important trait to have while playing the sport. Versatile is also another big one for baseball because being versatile can really help you in the sport. If you are able to play more than one position, that is a good thing. The last trait I chose was imaginative because I really like to think about things that could make the world better. I really believe that anything is
In Kate Chopin’s novel, The Awakening, the main character, Edna Pontellier, has three distinct personality traits that define her throughout the book. One of her most perceptible traits is her irresponsibility, especially in how she cares for her children and husband. Related to this peculiarity, is her capacity to behave childish, particularly in terms of how she allows her emotions to sweep her away as well as her inability to think about the potential consequences. Her most prominent personality trait—the one that forms the backbone of the conflict, is Edna’s eagerness to defy society and the roles given to women. These traits are consistent throughout the novel and while the character does change by the end, these aspects never disappear. The main conflict in The Awakening is a woman’s needs to have the right to act herself and live independently
Assessment techniques and the techniques used are a part of every counselor’s career. It is important that all counselors are aware of the different assessment procedures available as well as the risks and benefits associated with them. I chose to assess the case of Jessica, a medical resident, who has a very high pace and stressful job. She is also a perfectionist and can be very self-critical. Lately, she feels that she is not performing at the level she once was. As a result, she has been experiencing feelings of shame and worthlessness. Jessica has also been increasingly fatigued yet is having difficulty falling asleep at night. She also admits having difficulty concentrating, little interest in sex and has become increasingly irritable
A person’s personality is his or her essence. It is what guides decisions, emotions, and even thoughts. Some may wonder if it is possible to explore every nuance of such a complex part of a being, but there are ways to determine what type of personality a person has, and then branch off into a more detailed examination of that person specifically. Combined with other factors, such as personality disorders and the environment that someone has grown up in, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI, test (Enrichment 1) and analysis can determine an accurate portrayal of a personality. Created in 1943 by Katherine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers, it is a system made up of four basic functions and sub functions that combine to make a personality type. The mother and daughter team constructed it off of Jung’s theories (History 2). Based on this system, one of the most common personality types in the US population is called an ESTJ, and one of the least common personality types is called an INFJ. There are many differences and similarities between these two types. An ESTJ personality, overall, is practical, fact-based, and outgoing, whereas an INFJ personality is more private and makes decisions based on feelings; however, both are organized people who make good leaders and are capable of great success in roles that involve helping others.
I demonstrate a flexible characteristic that allows me to communicate and explore positive outcomes for professional and personal conditions. I can display humor when communicating with people, the light-hearted aspects allow me to feel comfortable when communicating with people. I demonstrate an optimistic personality during stressful events which gives me the ability to think positively through outcomes and improves my problem solving skills. I can exhibit an open-minded ability with culture, and ethical positions that instills a greater professional outlook. I demonstrate a respectful stature, this characteristic builds trust and acceptance professionally when working with clients. I display a dependable aptitude, which personally and professionally
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.
The three character traits that best define me would probably be hardworking, honest, and even-tempered. I am hardworking because of my strong work ethic and my constant push for good grades and a healthy lifestyle. I am honest because in that I tell the truth most of the time, I, of course, am human and mess up sometimes but work hard to fix these mistakes. I am even-tempered because I am not quick to anger and remain calm in most stressful situations including late night homework.
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.
The first personality trait that describes me is an introvert. I believe this does describe me very well because I myself am very reserved. In public and work situations I tend to pull back and not give my input on a situation knowing that my decision is right, but would rather hear the inputs of others. Another reason why I believe this to be true is I do not like to socialize all too much. I feel that I become awkward in groups and do not like speaking in front of them, I do not think that my input should skew or have an effect of others believes or views. Lastly, I am quick to listen and not to speak. In many situations I feel that I have more to learn simply by listening first and then speaking. The term “take the cotton out of your ears and put it into your mouth” has always struck hard with me.
As a professional many struggle with attempting to control the dominance of his/her personality trait, in fear that it may be damaging to one 's current position. Personally, there has been several instances when an employee was ridiculed because he/she expressed personality traits within the workplace, opposite of what the employer personally desired. Within this paper, one will discuss how the connection of an individual personality trait can be beneficial, as well a productive level of on the job training, for entry level employees, and transitioning from one position to another.
A second characteristic is the aversion to depending on others. I have found that in group projects, I would much rather complete all the work instead of relying on others to contribute because I know that it will be completed correctly and satisfactory. Again, regarding to living with roommates, as frustrating as it can be to be the only one cleaning and making sure the apartment is somewhat presentable, I believe that it is the only way that it will be done properly and to my standard.
