PART II: Others’ View of Your Personality
Cut up at least 30 slips of paper to give to
friends, family, teachers, classmates, etc. Ask
each person to write one word that best
describes your personality. Have them fold the
slip of paper and put it in an envelope. DO NOT
PEEK AT THEM until you have collected all
30. Once you have all 30, sort through them
and list the words below – you don’t need to
include repeats.

PART III: The Tests’ View of Your Personality
As we study personality, I thought it would be interesting for you to take some online versions of a
few personality tests. Remember, these are online versions – which mean you are getting online
results. The results are not intended to take the place of any type of professional psychological
evaluation or analysis. You will, however, use the results as a part of the project’s reflective essay.
Using the links provided on my staff page, you will complete online versions of the Eysenck
Personality Questionnaire, Myers-Briggs Personality Assessment, and the Big-5 Personality
Assessment. You will need to print your results and staple them to this handout. Also, respond to
the following question for each test listed below.
Eysenck Personality Questionnaire: Do you agree or disagree with the results? Explain.
Myers-Briggs Personality Assessment: Do you agree or disagree with the results? Explain.
Big-5 Personality Assessment: Do you agree or disagree with the results? Explain.
PART IV
Once the first three parts of the project are finished, write a 3 paragraph reflection essay about how
you see your personality (1 paragraph), how others describe your personality (1 paragraph), and
how the online tests described your personality (1 paragraph). Incorporate as many terms and
concepts from the chapter as are applicable – highlight these. This should be a minimum of 1.5
pages – typed, Times New Roman, 12pt font with 1” margins. I’m expecting elaboration and
explanation as you reflect on your personality.
*STAPLE YOUR ONLINE PERSONALITY TEST RESULTS AND YOUR ESSAY TO THIS HANDOUT.
THIS PROJECT IS DUE AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12TH
*IF YOU ARE ABSENT ON FRIDAY, YOUR PROJECT IS STILL DUE ON FRIDAY THE 12TH.
