I have been interested in the field of psychology for some years now. My interest derived from myself and my own personality. Developing during adolescence has left me with many questions. Middle school marked a transitional period in my life where I become self aware. Before this time I'd only connected differences in appearance as what made people unique. I had always known that no two people were alike, but I had never really payed attention to people's distinctive characteristics. With my recent discovery in self awareness I began to pay close attention to myself and other students. We we're changing and all developing in different ways. Everyone behaved in a way or had a personality that was uniquely his or her own. I began to wonder about my own tendencies and personality traits. I wanted to understand how these behaviors and traits developed. I was interested in understanding myself on a deeper level than someone telling me I have my mothers sense of humor. Not only did I find this topic to be interesting, but I also felt that my comprehension of it was an essential part of my growth. It was important to me that I understood my own development. These were traits that we're going …show more content…
It starts off slow but I eventually started to come across a variety of webpages with different personality test, horoscopes, and psychology facts. None of which could tell me anything more about myself other than a general statement that applied to anyone with a birthday in September. This of course did not suppress my curiosity nor did it detour me from my goals. I continued on my search of understanding myself. So, I began to search for specific things that I did, only to find more general answers. Though I had found nothing of any significance to what I'd been looking for I remained persistent. My unanswered searches only fueled my curiosity even more. They motivated me to continue to look
People should be encouraged to express their own unique qualities because other personalities help you find out things you never knew about your own or help you do things you wouldn’t normally do on your own. P2. We should have a mix of both similar and different
I was able to test my personality type with the Myers-Briggs personality test and many other online testing sites. I found this to be very telling. I had no idea so many personality tests were readily available and only took minutes. I learned about the categories of personalities and that you can and do change your personality type over time.
What I learned about myself is that I am so hard-working and I really loved doing things that was so uniquely different to my personality. I am a risk taker and have enough courage to accomplish anything. Working independently was very scary at first, I panicked so many times thinking about the deadline, and my journal papers, and how I will hold myself
According to the website collegeresults.org, only 24% of the students attending Old Dominion University are graduating within four years' time. This concerns me because I plan to transfer to ODU and graduate from ODU. Because a college education is important, I want to become a successful student by listening to expert advice, by developing effective strategies, and by overcoming my challenges. Because most people agree that a college education is important, I want to become a successful student. Robert S. Feldman, a professor of psychology explains many benefits that I will receive from earning my degree.
Everyone has a unique set of traits that they gain through their life experiences. That is what makes everyone unique and different. It makes life interesting and gives life a sense of fulfillment and difference. A big change happens in life once a person finds out what their best qualities and traits are. It can make or break their career, their relationships, their hobbies, and many other aspects of their life.
I stand out because I am invested in my future. For the past few years I have dedicated myself to my future career by taking the most difficult classes that my school has to offer. This has helped me be a better student as I have some knowledge of the classes I will be taking in college. I am an independent, organized person as I am able to juggle my classes, extracurriculars, and other activities. Another way that I am unique is my ability to take charge in a situation.
Now that could be because I don’t look for it or because I don’t know what it looks like exactly. I will say that from taking these tests and really the required texts I do have a little bit better understanding of my personality and what makes me upset and think the way I do. There have been times in my life where I have wondered why I am the way I am which I am sure we all have before, but for me there have been moments where I wonder this. I look at people around me struggle with things that could really change their perceptions of life and themselves and I really don’t feel anything for them. No sympathy or compassion.
My personality is what makes me unique. I have been developing it my entire life. It is who I am and how I react to the people and situations around me. I have always been interested in learning more about myself and how to change and grow into a better person. As I review my life, I can recognize the traits I received genetically and also the traits developed through social interaction.
I have a little bit surprised about this result because there are many things I do not really know enough about myself. Thanks to this result can help me learn more about the personality of myself that I
The two most valuable aspects would be supports from the Division of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) advisors and an enough length of time that allow students to explore. Being enrolled in DUS allows students who are undecided about majors to see what they will pursue. DUS gives us enough time to explore around and figure out our interests so that we will not regret studying our chosen subjects. There are around 160 majors in Penn State. We have to be very serious when selecting majors because it affects our future career.
Once I graduated with my master’s degree, I thought that was the end of school for me. My plan was to take the NCE, begin my supervision hours, and work in my field. I accomplished all of those things, but I still felt inadequate. I felt as though something was missing. I felt as though I was not pushing myself to reach my full potential.
Self as a Life Learner I recognize traits of myself in the results of the Index of Learning Styles Questionnaire, developed by Richard M. Felder and Barbara A. Solomon from North Carolina State University (n.d.). I like to learn facts and pay attention to the details of things. I absorb information better when it is on paper. I learn most subjects easily if I have written material and enough time to study. I have also identified some weaknesses.
Understanding my personality traits provides me with the ability to understand how I am wired on a deeper level. It provides a map into who I am as a person, what makes me tick, and why I am the way I am. I have always found personality tests interesting. One of my favorite is the Myers Briggs personality type test. Self-awareness can be a foundation to many aspects of a person’s life.
When I graduated from high school and had to choose a major in college I had to think about what kind of life I wanted and what career would allow me to a have life like that. The advice I could relate the most to, was from my father that one should have a life and work where one can have a peace of mind and go to sleep every night with a clear conscience. This asked for a career choice that holds its ethical values in high regard. When I started meeting different professionals, family members, friends one thing became clear that almost all professionals complained of ethical problems they face, being forced to do things they didn’t feel were right or they just had to do them to get things going. Two professions stood tall above all this problem,
These personality trates make me who I am. Another thing about personalities are the qualities that you possess. For example, my qualities are very close to my personality type. I have a kindness in me along with the forgiveness
