Review Chapter 6 of your textbook.
Reflect on your Big 5 and MBTI results and how well you feel they describe your personality.
Consider how you would view the results if they were used by a prospective employer to evaluate
you for a job or promotion.
Interview 1–2 people who have known you for a long time, ideally parents, relatives, or long-time
friends. Ask them how they have seen you change over the time they’ve known you.
In a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:
Based on your experience this week, do you think a test can truly capture the essence of a person’s
personality? Support your answer.
Explain whether your personality has been consistent over your lifetime or whether you have
changed and how.
Describe whether your perceptions or recollections of yourself align with those of your interviewees.
Discuss an experience that impacted your personality (e.g., a life event, a realization you needed to
change).
Are there things about yourself (e.g., behaviors, habits, personality) that you would like to change? Is
changing them difficult? Why or why not?
To what degree are you the person you want to be? Identify the gaps and how you might address
them (or how you are currently addressing them).
Remember to support your positions with information from the readings.
Submit your Assignment.
Before submitting your final assignment, you can check your draft for authenticity. To check
your draft, access the Turnitin Drafts from the Start Here area.

You have experienced firsthand two personality trait assessments this week. Take a moment to recall the
assessments. Reputable tools like those in the Week 2 Learning Resources are developed based on
personality trait theories. In this assignment you will have the opportunity to reflect on the strengths or
limitations of personality assessments and whether your personality has changed over time. You will also
get to talk to some people who have watched you grow up and see if you are right about how you have
or have not changed over the years. Enjoy this opportunity to learn more about yourself and who you
want to be.

Consider how you would view the results if they were used by a prospective employer to evaluate
you for a job or promotion.

friends. Ask them how they have seen you change over the time they’ve known you.

Based on your experience this week, do you think a test can truly capture the essence of a person’s
personality? Support your answer.
