~Personality~

I think that the environment around me and my family influences my personality. For an example, a child that grows up in a family that is always traveling and having game night, chances are that child is going to be an outgoing child because the family is interacting a lot. However, a child raised in a family where the parents are gone all the time and never goes out that often is likely to be a shy child. I found that the Humanistic Perspective theory made the most sense to me because it because I do believe that people try to be the best they are and want a positive outcome. I think that I have used all of the defense mechanisms in some way throughout my life. I think that I, along with a majority of people, used the projection defense mechanism.

In all honesty I did not enjoy the Moral Psychology video. Some of the comments in the video really made me a little annoyed, but I understand that this is only this man way of thinking. The other video was more interesting to watch and I found much of the information useful. It was interesting to see how one man changed his career based on his personality.

I thought that the tests were ok, but not anything special because I think that if a person happens to be in a bad mood when they take one of those tests can really change the results.
