I have recently became interested in personality psychology which states that we all have permanente and defined traits. Our personality “type” is also classified and determined and associated with certain personality traits. Upon exploring Myer Bringgs personality information, I find it interesting to realize that everyone can be classified into sixteen categories. As you explore this information, you find that you can ‘fit’ into a few different ‘types’, but you fit best into one specifically. A personality type also tells you a lot about what type of person you are, what careers you might be interested in, and what you will more than likely in certain future situations (such as relationships with your spouse and child). Knowing about …show more content…
Even adults and the elderly are continuing to change. I find it intriguing to learn that we are all different, but there are somethings that are the same in everyone as they age. We become interested in similar things and we lose interests in many of the same things. I think that looking at the similarities and differences of peoples and their interests help prove the fact that everyone is different, but it also helps to establish unity between certain people, groups, and all of humanity.
2. The four main ideas discussed in the textbook and this course is critical thinking, the two-track mind, exploring human strength (exploring the positives of human nature) and biopsychosocial (sometimes referred to the biopsychosocial spiritual approach). When someone thinks critically, they ask “why” and “how” questions. This approach is useful in the attempt to avoid bias and base conclusions off of false or unproven statements. If I were to tell you that it is the man’s sperm that determines the gender of the child, you should think critically and ask “Why is this the case?”, “What evidence do you have to support this claim?” and “Has this statement been proven?” Thinking critically enhances your knowledge and verifies that the information you have been given is correct. The double-mind aspect of psychology is the fact that we are acting on our subconscious more than we are acting on our own will. Although you may feel like you are in control of your actions, most of you
3. Given that Mike and Marty Scanlon are twins and share some of their genetic makeup, how
If I am to develop my personal critical thinking ability, I must first make a conscious choice to understand the basic concept of a premise and then make critical reflection of this basic concept by expanding my thinking approach. To achieve this, I must ask radical questions that will enhance the scope of analysis and judgment. I must move from the region of subconscious thinking to one of conscious thinking because in so doing, I become aware that I am actually thinking. This awareness will allow me to think beyond rudimentary concepts through critical reasoning and critical reflection to decipher underlying issues that are concealed in the concept under investigation. By understanding the predictable
They suggest that measuring one’s characteristics such as sociability, drive, self-determination and demeanor can aid one to better interpret and discern them introspectively. By taking the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) I am able to compare my personality traits to careers in which I may enjoy, will fit my individual personality and enable me to be successful say Drummond, Jones & Sheperis (2016). The results of my self-administered inventory are as follows; Introvert (I) 55%, Intuitive (N) 76%, Feeling (F) 86% and Perceiving (P) 67%. The four dimensions of the inventory seem to be very accurate for the manner in which I view myself. The result of INFP suggests that my personality shows a predominant association with being in a career in which I am able to care for others, such as a healer. This is a correlate with my first career as a firefighter and
Nothing feels better than giving back to a place that has given so much to people. A majority of the little things that we do day by day are taken for granted or they are just seen as nothing major. In reality there are so many things that are given to us and we do not always see the little things in life as anything of mass importance. For our kindness project we decided that it was time for us to give a little to ensure someone had a smile at the end of the day. We partnered up with the Rho Nu club here on campus and together we made tie blankets. These blankets that we made will be donated to the Sacred Heart hospital in Spokane later this month. We decided to do this project in the hopes of giving a little, but making it count for a lot more. We hoped that the children receiving these blankets always get a smile on their face or simply that they just find comfort in these blankets. In this project I was the leader of the group and I did most of the organization of

However with advantages come disadvantages. For example, with correlational studies there is no background information obtained. Therefore, the reliability of the correlational studies is questioned.
In 1990, the American Philosophical Association defined critical thinking as “purposeful, self-regulatory process that results in reasoned judgment”. Critical thinking can be defined in a number of similar phrases that all seem to focus on the importance of conscious analysis. Our text starts off with the working phases of critical thinking as analyzing thinking, evaluating thinking, and improving thinking. The process of critical thought is cyclical and not linear. Being a “fair-minded critical thinker” is not a permanent attribute, and it must be consistently worked at as applying intellectual standards and elements of reasoning instead of emotion can be difficult. Overall, to be a strong critical thinker you must work toward strong intellectual traits such humility, courage, and integrity to better represent issues and or arguments.
in order to analyze the patterns that determine personality, certain issues need to be addressed
Chapter one is based on critical thinking when it comes to learning psychology. Critical thinking is the ability and willingness to assess claims and make objective judgments on the basis of well-supported reasons. It is the ability to look for flaws in arguments and resist claims that have no supporting evidence. First this is asking questions because if their is something that u dont understand its always good to ask quetions so you wont be left puzzled. Defining the problem , examine the evidence ask yourself what evidence supports you argments. Accuracy is unquestionably essential to critical thinking. Relevance means that the information and ideas discussed must be logically relevant to the issue being discussed. Consistency is a key
Critical thinking involves rationalizing a given situation and objectively evaluating information (Myers, 2011). This particular method of processing information forces one to assess misleading evidence and strive for accuracy in recorded findings as opposed to trusting his/her, often faulty, intuition. The ability to think critically is very crucial to psychology when evaluating test results because it requires one to ask questions, second guess his/her assumptions, and ignore biases. Critical thinking can be influenced in both biological and psychological ways. The skill of thinking critically can be influenced psychologically because one must yearn to want to evaluate properly and question things rather than
Critical thinking was the first concept that I was introduce too when I started the course back in September. I hardly remember it from my pass psychology class so it was kind of new to me when I first started to learning about it. I thinking that why I chose it as one of my most important concept, because it was what introduce me to the course. Critical thinking is the ability and willingness to assess claims and make objective judgement on the base of supported evidence and not from emotions. I like it
During the power point on the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, as the instructor went through the different types of personalities, I was able to recognize which subcategories I fall into almost instantly. When my computer personality test results were returned, I was correct. As I read the type descriptions of Extroversion, Intuition, Feeling, and Judging- ENFJ- I quickly recognized myself within the descriptive words.
Leigh Anne Touhy is the fictional representation of the real life Leigh Anne, famed adoptive mother of Michael Oher from the 2009 film The Blind Side. Leigh Anne is a white interior designer, living in the south with her husband and two children. The family is considered to be part of the upper class, and made their money from owning a string of fast food chains.

They eventually adopt Michael and the Leigh Anne becomes a fiercely protective mother. Very little is revealed about her upbringing
Critical thinking are peoples deep thoughts and of how they think and reason. Each offers a paramount variable that derives its own direction of language. Descriptions are impartial to one another; personal biases have an influence on our language, judgments, and our values. Yet, none of these recognize other people’s values through their behaviors or language. Critical thinking offers a remedy to these downfalls of language within different cultures. According to helium.com (2010) other bias and skewed occurrences that critical thinking is helpful, is by differentiating between fundamental acknowledgement, self-fulfilling insight, the difference between cause and connection, naturalistic fallacy, and the belief perseverance effect. Critical thinking is an important role in cross-cultural psychology because when psychologists are looking at different cultures there are many different thoughts that go on about each culture and their differences between other cultures, it is important that the psychologists are critical and think about all the cultures and their different ways independently and when they compare them it is important that they
Based on the work of Carl Jung, Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs developed the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator, a self-inventory geared toward helping individuals determine their personality types and individual areas of strength. “By helping people understand themselves, Myers and Briggs believed that they could help people select occupations that were best suited to their personality types and lead healthier, happier lives” (Cherry, 2015). This test, through helping me explore my own personality, likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, and various preferences and compatibilities, has been instrumental in affirming my
