Interview 1
For my first interview I decided to interview myself. I am 35 years old with dark curly hair, hazel green eyes and fair skin. My face is round and symmetrical. I am confident in my own skin and I have an outgoing social personality. I enjoy adventures but get antsy easily. I know how to work a room and engage an audience. I have been in banking for 18 years and recently took on a manger position.
In reference to the 5 factor model (Craig and Dunn 2013, p 437) I am still a little emotionally unstable.

In regards to Erikson’s stages of development (Craig and Dunn 2013, p 417) I believe she has given so much back to the world and had overcome her self-absorption years a long time ago. With everything she does for everyone in her life she has shown more generosity than anyone I know. She is definitely at a stage in her life where she feels she has been given so much now is the time to give back.
Peck’s Issues of Adult Development (Craig and Dunn 2013, p418) identifies issues and conflicts during adult development. I believe my mother values her wisdom more so than her physical powers because she is not only an older woman but is also losing her physical strength and stamina due to aging. Losing her husband earlier than expected squelched any ideas of having a sexual or romantic life. She has felt it is too complicated to start over after spending 35 years with the love of her life. She has become emotionally flexible dealing with losing loved ones and the ceasing of interests she may no longer be able to
