    Myers-Briggs Personality Paper

    When people discover what genre of music another listens to, most will go on to make snap judgments about them. They may assume that those who listen to metal music harbor a great deal of angst and are extremely violent, or that those who listen to classical music are sophisticated and intelligent. It seems that in general, society instantly makes assumptions about the personalities of others based on their musical interests, but how can they assume that these initial stereotypes are scientifically accurate, or have any support behind them? If this was known for certain, it would be easier to read other people and determine the kind of person they are based upon their musical preferences. The following information will discuss the history and uses of the Myers-Briggs Type…

    Explain The Five Words That Describes Me

    The five words that I believe that describes me are Bi or multi-lingual, organized, visionary, resilient, and listener. Multilingual because I speak and write Spanish and English. Being able to know two languages has been very helpful because I get to help people translate at work or anywhere I go. I like to be organized in my school stuff and personal things because it makes everything so much easy to do and I get things done on time when I organized my stuff. I’m a visionary person because I’m always having ideas for my future and dream about accomplishing my goals. I learn to be a resilient person because if I don’t recover quickly from a difficult situation it will not take me anywhere in life. I never let a difficult situation stop me…

    Alfred Adler Research Paper

    Some of his terminology, such as "compensation" and "inferiority complex," are used in everyday language. Individual Psychology still has its own centers, schools and work groups, but Adler's influence has permeated other psychologies. His "aggression drive" reappeared in the Ego psychology of orthodox psychoanalysis; other Adlerian echoes are found in the work of Karen Horney, Harry Stack Sullivan, Franz Alexander and Ian Suttie. Those who try to see the backward child, the delinquent, the psychopath or the psychiatric patient as a whole person are sharing Adler's viewpoint.Adler was the grandfather to Humanistic Psychology. In his later writings Adler made a shift never managed by Freud but later repeated by Maslow: he wrote less about pathology and more about health One of his theories that he started was the birth order…

    Personality Paper

    Who would have thought that such a little booklet could contain such personal and accurate information about each individual’s personality simply by filling in bubbles to answer simple multiple-choice questions? Upon first glance, I thought that “The Keirsey Temperament Sorter” would never be able to correctly depict my personality. However, I still managed to fill out the questionnaire in a careful and truthful manner despite my convictions. After taking the personality questionnaire, my results showed my personality type falling under the category “Idealist” as an ESFP. To my surprise, I found this to be quite similar to how I would describe my own personality type. By further research, I determined that ESFP actually stands for extraversion, sensing, feeling and perceiving. The description described an ESFP as a friendly person who helps others enjoy life. Also, it stated that they tend to make warm and enthusiastic friends and are more likely to pay attention to details and value a realistic approach to solving problems. Taking into my major in nursing at MSU, I decided to research if this would fit my ESFP personality type. After reading the ESFP description more thoroughly it gave several career suggestions such as nursing, child care, restaurant work, sales and counseling. Also, it mentioned that ESFP’s look for a job that is fun and prefer to work with others in groups.…
