Discuss what you learned about your personality.
What did you learn about yourself? What area/s are you strong in, and what area/s can you improve on? What specific steps will you take to challenge yourself to develop a more complete personality?
*(For instance, if you are shy you may want to challenge yourself to be more sociable by setting small goals to meet more people)
This paper should discuss some of the history and foundational theories of the assessment you took. Select one of the major theories in your text and describe how it aligns with your personality theory (eg, Jung theory and MBTI assessment).
Self-Awareness: What insights have you gained about your personality style? How does it impact your approach to relationships, learning, career, etc.?
Effectiveness: Reflect on the effectiveness of your personality style. How has it positively affected how you live your life and pursue your goals?
Challenges: What are some challenges or obstacles you’ve encountered as a result of your personality style? How have you addressed or adapted to these challenges?
Future Plans: In what ways will you use your newfound understanding of your personality style to enhance your future experiences? What specific strategies or changes do you plan to implement based on this knowledge?
*You will submit to the instructor (in Canvas): a) a copy of the assessment you took (and any other pertinent information that goes with it), b) a copy of your results, c) as well as your actual paper.
