Personality Unit Study Resources

We have a study session scheduled at 5 PM on Sunday, March 8th in order to review all of this. Hope to see you there! If you can't make it, feel free to use the resources below and your multiple-choice study guide (which you got after this unit's quiz).

• Quizlet Flashcards for Personality Unit
• Study Session Resources: Which One Doesn't Belong?
• Study Session Resources: Kahoot - Defense Mechanisms
• Practice FRQ (sort of...a huge one, anyway)
• More practice MC Items on Personality
 

Personality Unit Slides Bear in mind, this is NOT in its complete form (yet).  

Crash Course Videos Missed class? Can't make sense of a specific personality theory? Maybe the nice folks at Crash Course can help. This first video addresses some of the more "historic" theories of personality (Psychoanalytic, Psychodynamic, and Humanistic):  

Trait Theory and Social-Cognitive Perspectives are addressed here:

Id, Ego, or Superego?

Which is dominant for you? Id, Ego, or Superego? Take this (admittedly amateur) test to find out.

Do you think this is a valid test? Why or why not?

Personality Unit Project

As part of your studies this unit, you will be completing a personality profile project. You may choose to complete a self-analysis (option #1) or to assess the personality of some other individual (e.g., character in a novel, historical figure, or movie character; option #2).

Tools:

• Directions for Self-Assessment Project (Option #1)
• Directions for Character Analysis Project (Option #2)
• Rubric

You will very likely find your Personality Grid helpful as you organize your response. If completing the Self-Assessment Project, you'll also want to hang on to any self-assessments we complete in class over the course of this unit.
