As you read, there are many different types and styles of personality theories. This week’s assignment is a chance for you to take the lead and further investigate aspects of the chapter that interest you. Think about what stuck out to you. What is interesting to you?
Next, do some research to answer any questions that you have about personality theories, and to delve deeper into the content of the chapter. For example, you might consider these questions as you research (for this paper, for example, you would likely choose just one of these prompts to answer):
What are some major critiques in the field of any one of the theories of personality?
You might have questions/wish to investigate further any one of the other assessments for personality.
Are you interested in the (life)story of any particular theorist?
Can you relate personality or personality assessment to your current/future career in any way? How does this apply to you professionally? Do some research to find out!
