The five factors are openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. These factors are used to describe human personality. It is also a basis of many psychological studies in selecting personnel and choosing a study (Neubert, 2004). Finally, the outcomes of my research, combined with the current literature in the field, will show what contributions I can bring to a team. The first trait concerns negative emotionality, or neuroticism.
You have to see it in relation to other things. My personality and motivation profile were created by analyzing two questionnaires, which I filled out previously. In this report I will compare my personal properties with various dimensions and on this basis I will see how my personality will affect teamwork (the strengths as well as weaknesses) My personality profile shows my score of the five key characteristics. On extraversion I scored very high, on openness I scored quite low, and on the other three characteristics - negative emotionality, agreeableness and conscientiousness - I scored average. (See appendix A for the results.)
The result is what well-known Harvard professor Howard Gardner called "one of the most important initiatives in psychology of the past half century," the 816-pageCharacter Strengths and Virtues: A Handbook and Classification. Through their research Peterson and Seligman discovered that personal strengths and virtues were more universal than they - or their colleagues - expected. One result was their list of two dozen character strengths, grouped within six broad areas of virtue. The Criteria What qualifies as a personal character strength, and how do you know if one is really yours? The researchers discuss many aspects of their methods and those of scientific psychology in the past.
In the history of psychology, many theories exist explaining the unconscious and conscious mind. Researching the mind and understanding the function of the brain has been an on going dilemma throughout history. By research the mind psychologist learn how to cure mental illness and create new progressive ways of thinking.

www.aspsychology101.wordpress.com Key assumptions of the Psychodynamic Approach This approach to psychology relies on four key assumptions. It is important that you understand that the Psychodynamic Approach is all about Freud, his ideas and the concepts from his psychosexual theory, all of which you will come onto over the next two chapters. That is why these four key assumptions are Freud’s ideas, and it is not true that everyone will agree that they are all definitely correct. The key assumptions of the approach are: the importance of the first five years As you will learn in the coming chapters through Freud’s ideas, Freud believed that the first five years of life are the most important in terms of forming a personality, and that if there are any unsolved problems at one particular stage at this time in your life, your gender development will be disrupted development occurs through stages that all children pass through Freud’s theory suggests that there are three psychosexual stages (five in total, if also counting the two extra periods) which happen in sequential order, and if a child does well in each stage and no problems arise, they may move on to the next stage and they will go on to develop healthy, normal relationships later on in life the significance of the unconscious The unconscious part of the mind is the largest and most powerful, and Freud was definitely interested in this area of the mind, which he said was almost inaccessible, but he believed accessing it was the cure for neurosis the presence of energy and libido energy Freud stated that we all have a certain amount of energy which does not ever increase or decrease, but remains with us throughout all psychosexual stages and life, and some of this energy is called ‘libido’ which means sexual energy, which leads to Freud’s theory being called psychosexual, as you will discover later
In addition to my personal observations, I also identified areas for growth and areas of strength within my personality inclinations, and determined for myself my suitability for a career in the Counseling Profession. In the pages that follow, I discuss these results of my taking the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire. As early as the 18th century, various pseudoscientific techniques, such as phrenology and physiognomy, have been used in an attempt to identify underlying personality inclinations in individuals. In the 1940’s, Raymond Cattell and his colleagues took an empirical approach and conducted research that lead to the development of a multiple choice questionnaire to assess 16 primary factors of human personality, and though the 16PF Questionnaire has been revised multiple times since its inception, the 5th edition has been widely accepted as the standard for personality assessment. In an attempt to better understand myself, I have completed the 5th edition of the 16PF Questionnaire and made general observations
Big Five “The Big Five is currently the most accepted personality model in the scientific community. The Big Five emerged from the work of multiple independent scientists/researchers starting in the 1950s who by using different techniques which obtained similar results.” (Big 5 Global Descriptors, para. 17 & 30). The results are five distinct personality traits; Extroversion, Orderliness, Emotional Stability, Accommodation, and Inquisitiveness. The percentage results based on the big five traits for Team “B” including Tom, Alex and Tameka’s results.

History of Psychological Assessment Mandana Smith PSY/525 November 6, 2011 Christa Washington History of Psychological Assessment Assessments used in psychology have quite an extensive history within the discipline and mental health field. Roles of assessments continue to vary according to prevention and treatment methods used for mental illnesses. Assessments within the psychology field are described by separate spectrums that include the differential treatment, therapeutic, and information-gathering models (McIntire & Miller, 2007). Gathering information to determine a diagnosis and facilitation of communication are important. This model contains standard testing providing comparison of individuals with similar traits allowing prediction of behavior outside an environment of testing.
