Personality

Who are you? What makes you, well, you? People should ask themselves these questions everyday. They should want to know who they are and how they became who they are. Personality is the characteristic ways that people differ from one another. Wether you are a person who loves being in big groups and being around people or someone who really enjoys to be alone and away from everyone. That’s what makes you, you. I decided to do the Personality Assesment for this weeks blog. I took a personality test from the website http://similarminds.com/eysenck.html . There weren’t many questions but there were enough for the website to actually get my personality somewhat right. My extroversion results were very low which means that I keep to myself and would like to remain alone and not be around a lot of people for a long period of time. My neuroticism was pretty mutual and it said that I get very anxious and worry a lot. Which I do because I just worry about the future and what is going to happen in life. Lastly, my psychoticism was very low. Which means that I am overly kind to people which I thought was weird since I don’t like to be around people that much. But where I work I am around several people for hours on end and I am somewhat too kind to them even when they are doing something they shouldn’t be doing. And even with people I care about, when I care for someone deeply I rent to ignore the bad things they do to me and still remain kind to them because I think they can change.

    After reading this I feel as if you and I are same when it comes to being reserved and not wanting to really say much to just anybody. I however am a little bit more pessimistic and am not a fan of giving people more chances than what they deserve. I do try and see the good in people before they have done anything wrong to me though.

    Reading your post I think you and I get along well because we have similar personalities that relate to each other well. I tend to worry about my future as well and find myself anxious about whether something will work out before it even happens. I liked the way that you structured your post, you did a really good job explaining everything and the importance of taking these tests. I think you could have added a little bit on the benefits of knowing your personality and how that helps people in their daily lives. Great job! Can't wait for the next post.

About my Interest in Psychology

One branch of psychology that really interest me is Abnormal Psychology. This study interest me because I have many family members and friends that deal with a lot of the topics that they help people with and I think it would be really amazing to really understand how these people are feeling and why they are feeling that way. This area of psychology mainly focus on eating disorders, depression, phobias, schizophrenia, and antisocial personality disorder. A doctorates degree is required for this psychology field and that takes about four to seven years of school. To become an Abnormal Psychologist you have to have passion for discovery, learning and listening to be successful with your clients and to provide clinical services. One job a person could have with this branch is being a clinical social worker and working in a clinical setting. Some famous people in this area of psychology are Pythagoras and she was one of the first people to see the brain as a structure involved in human in...

M4 Task

I chose to do the second option for this post. The one where you say a list to someone and then you as them to write down the words that they heard to see what they remembered. With this option I used my mother to help me with this. I read the first list out loud to her and she wrote down the words that she remembered. Then I did the same with the second list that was a little longer. She has an awful memory so her lists were a bit short but I actually asked her if she wrote down or remembered me saying some words that actually weren't on the list and she said yes. Why did she do this? This is based off of a "false memory". Why do you thing our brains actually do this to us? When I showed her the list that I called out to her she was shocked to see that those words she swore she heard wasn't actually on there she was very confused. It was hard for me to explain to her "false memory" because she's a little stubborn but I finally got it into her head that ...

Learning

What is learning? Learning is all based on life experiences and somewhat how you grew up. Some people think that they can only learn a certain way (visual, hands-on) but that is actually a myth. Learning can happen at any place at any time. Even from me writing this blog post, I am learning what to write by the things that I am studying for this. With the experiments with animals and to get them to do things a certain way they will put them in certain situations to make them learn. When a mouse is put into a maze and their is a piece of cheese at the end of it, the mouse will eventually find the end but the next time they do the maze they will of had it memorized so that they can get the piece of cheese faster.
