Personality Box Project

We are going to work on our  Personality Box Projects for the next couple of days. Make sure you read the directions and look at the requirements. This is a time for you to reflect on who you are - take it seriously and be reflective.

Psychodynamic - unconscious motivations

• internal conflicts
• pleasure seeking vs social restraints
• childhood dos and don'ts
• fears/nightmares

Trait - specific dimensions

• stable internal characteristics
• questionnaires

Humanistic - inner capacity for growth

• how do you view yourself?
• what are your strengths and weaknesses?
• what areas do you want to improve?
• go through the list of "self-actualized" characteristics - how do you fit into to those or how do you see reaching those goals 

Social-Cognition Learning - influence of environment

• look at your locus of control: is it internal or external?
