The Biggest Personality Trait Analysis

Improved Essays
My biggest personality trait is my argumentativeness. I am almost always willing to argue my case, no matter what the topic is. Heck, if the need comes up, I’ll help other people argue their case or argue their case to support them. F the need comes up, I’ll argue. One thing I have always loved is when you get those days in class that we are discussing multiple sides of the same thing, and we have to debate about whose idea or opinion is the strongest. Today, I am going to tell you about a time I argued my friend’s case, a time one of those awesome school assignments came, and a time I argued my own case. So sit back and get comfy, because you don’t want to miss this. It’s going to be awesome.
There was a time a friend ended up being accused of something he didn't do, and, knowing he was innocent, I argued his case. This was in 3rd grade, and it was me, my friend, the other kid, other defenders and the principal, gathered in the office. I

I’d say I proved my point on both things, but if you don’t think I did, okay. I’m not going to argue right now, you have a right to your opinion. I’ve learned that some arguments don’t need to happen, but honestly, being as argumentative that I am is still a struggle sometimes. I mean, I rarely turn down an argument. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn’t. It just depends on the situation. Anyway, let’s review. I told about a time I defended my friend’s case, a time a school assignment showed off skills from everyone, and one of the times I had to defend my own case. Even when argumentative is a burden, which it definitely is at times, I am still glad it helps define me. When it’s all said and done, I’m glad. The bad doesn't come close to outweighing the good, not by a long shot. Throughout recalling a few times it’s impacted me, I have realized that. Without it, I just wouldn’t be

    An argument is defined as an exchange of diverging or opposite views. The word comes from the latin verb, arguere, which means to make clear or prove. However in 14th Century France, the word adopted a more dynamic concept and definition, familiar to today's connotation. As France transitioned into the Renaissance Age, a time influenced by intellectual reasoning, a valid argument required relevant and reputable evidence with a formidable rebuttal to scrutiny. Caroline Bird, in her essay "College is a Waste of Time and Money," argues that college does little to provide students with a career and role in society after graduation.…

    One character trait that I find fits me well is realistic. I set my goals high and work hard to reach them, but I also make sure that my goal can be reached. I believe it is worse to fail a goal you set that was too demanding of you than to succeed and keep aspiring higher with time. To be realistic is a significant trait that everyone should own. It allows one to live up to their greatest potential and to constantly improve themselves.…

    The argumentative essay was probably one of the hardest essays I had to write thus far this semester. It required a lot of focus and a detailed outline before I was even able to begin forming my first full draft. Just when I thought I had it, there was always something that made me realize I had to fix it or change it. In conclusion, this argumentative essay opened up my viewpoint on many more possibilities of how to structure my essay. I am now going away from the standard five paragraph essay, and I am ready to tackle long lengthy essays.…

    This is not to say you shouldn't defend your position, you certainly should, but rather you should defend it in a way that propagates further discussion, rather that devolving into a pointless flame war. This is entirely possible. In fact, I've had more than a few reasonable debates with others on this app. For example, this one with KanadeSong, regarding one of my favorite anime…

    The big five personality test is an intriguing test to take and I feel it helped me understand what my personality can be, especially when it comes to social situations. Growing up I felt like the odd one out because I was not the talkative, outgoing, person everyone wanted me to. Working, and attending college has helped me understand who I am, along with growing up. The first trait I got results on, and I was a bit shocked at, was open-mindedness. I scored in the 58th percentile, which according to the test means I do not seek out new experiences.…
