2/24-6 Personality Portfolio

2/24-26 Personality and Intelligence Profile

Personality/Intelligence Portfolio

For Unit 9 personality (Mod. 55-59) and Intelligence (Mod 61-64), you will be required to compile and submit a personality/intelligence portfolio. The portfolio will reflect your accumulated knowledge of your own personality, identification of the theories of personality, and an analysis of the various personality indicators. Additionally, it will demonstrate knowledge of intelligence measures and theories and include test results from various IQ tests. This portfolio will be judged primarily on your application of textual information to your own personality.

1. Begin by spending class time over 2 periods in the computer lab working on the porfolio and taking an online version of the Keirsey Temperament Sorter-II to get a baseline personality projection with which to make future comparisons. You will collect your results and file them in your portfolio with the other materials you are collecting.

and write down what type of person that is and what it means.

6. After you have finished the multiple tests,  draw up a list of 20 to 30 adjectives that you believe describe yourself. You may include this list in any form in your portfolio (e.g., typed list, cutouts from magazines, drawing). Using that list, elaborate on each adjective in a paper that describes your personality. Be sure to include descriptive phrases, examples, and various other details.  Revisit your initial personality profile and test scores by evaluating your personality through the test results and the eyes of the major personality theorists discussed in the textbook and in class in at least one paragraph.

7. Next we will take a short version of IQ and multiple intelligence tests.  If you wish, you may include copies of any other standardized testing results you have received (e.g., PSAT/NMSQT, SAT®)

8. Research and define the following---from the web and Module 60 in your text.:

Spearman's general intelligence (g).

Thurstone's primary mental abilities

Gardner's multiple intelligences

Sternberg's 3 intelligences

Prepare an analysis of the validity of the various intelligence theories and your own test scores.  Does this truly reflect you and which of the intelligence theories that you looked at in class do you most agree with?

This Personality/Intelligence Portfolio is due on 3/2 with either a hard copy or sent to me via email.  If you use google docs, make sure that I can access your portfolio...
