Speech is the expression of ideas or thoughts

In “Handwriting Without Tears®: General Education Effectiveness Through a Consultative Approach,” author Denise K. Donica examines the value of Handwriting Without Tears® (HWT) program for use in general education kindergarten classroom. Traditionally, the HWT curriculum is implemented by the occupational therapy practitioner in one-on-one treatment sessions with students. For the study, HWT was introduced into two consecutive kindergarten classes with the teachers, instead of OT practitioners, leading handwriting exercises for 15 minutes daily. The control group was the kindergarten class from the previous year, whose students progressed to first grade. Students’ legibility at the end of the school year was compared to other students’ scores who were taught using a different teaching technique called the D’Nealian style of writing.…
1. The online assessments were rather accurate. They all had results that matched well with each other; they all consistently implied artistic, social, and methodical personality traits, which line up with known personality traits. One reason for any possible false results may to due to the assessments requiring a lot of self-honesty, which could be alter by social standards.…
Neyda Borges is the author of “Why The Debate Over Cursive Is About More Than Penmanship”, an online article published in the StateImpact section of the NPR website. In this article, Borges discusses the debate about removing cursive handwriting from a school’s curriculum and whether or not it seems more than it is. She mentions how the real issue is not about teaching penmanship but that different socio-economic statuses affect many students in different ways and widen the “achievement gap.” She also argues that cursive is not the only thing that has been removed from the curriculum; other things such as learning grammar are no longer a part of it as well. Cursive is just one underlying symbol that leads back to one main issue: the advantages…

Within each theory, the major theoretical approaches, research methods, and assessment instruments will be included to give a better understand of the personality aspect within each theory. Personality is the foundation of psychology.…
I think cursive handwriting is not very important for someone to learn. The reason i say that is beacuse people live threw technology on a daily basis. We do not really need to learn the importance of cursive handwritting because, no one will need to really write anymore if everything is done threw technology. As the narrator stated in the passage "technology is moving at such a rapid pace that even keyboards may soon be in danger of extinction". Just knowing something like that most people cant even type as much as they should know how.…
Graphology is the study of the brains expression through an individuals handwriting. It is often referred to as a pseudoscience as it does not have the distingushible aspects of a legitimate science such as using observation and experimentation to try and prove it wrong also to ensure that the researchers do not only try and find evidence to prove it. Meanwhile, Pseudoscience’s tend to ignore conflicting evidence. The scientific paper titled “ Does Graphology Predict Personality and Intelligence?” has an abstract which clearly outlines the aims of the research and the methodology. The methodology used was a combination of the NEO personality test and three intelligence tests to reduce the validity issues from using a specific intelligence…
Assessments are designed to determine whether there is a problem, distinguish an individual strengths and weaknesses, predict the future course of disorders, classify the problem and provide useful tips for intervention. Clinicians use these ideas to assess the clients’ behavior by a set of guided questions. The Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) is a self-administered tool that provides information relevant to the clinical diagnosis, treatment and screenings for psychopathology (Morey, 2012). This assessment was created as an alternative to the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory that was designed to assess abnormal personality traits. The PAI was designed to be easily scored by hand and is characterized by a 344 item Likert scale…
Cursive writing, such a wonderful art; exercises the mind, improves the speed of writing ten-fold. Not to mention the best part, you dont even have to take your pen of the paper. I understand it a dying practice, but when there is no other easy way of doing things cursive will no longer be an option if it keeps getting put to the side right along with latin. as stated in the article "Cursive Is a Powerful Brain Tool", "Medical scans show that writing in cursive helps with fine motor skill development and stimulates both left and right parts of the brain." which to me is just another type of exercise altogether.…
Sometimes personality test can bring different result than identifying the best candidate for job, or the best for promotion as evidenced by the fact that common used Myers-Briggs test was created not for employment purposes but for training and development use. Similarly, MMPI was developed to identify personality disorders for…
Rough Draft I took this personality test that is based on Carl Jung’s and Isabel Briggs Myers’ personality type theory and its accurate for the most part! According, to this personality test I am ISFJ which means I am 12% introvert, 16% sensing, 3% feeling, and 1% judging. It says the type carrees I would be seen doing is like health care jobs when I know I'd rather be in a shop working on trucks but I guess we'll see what the future brings. I think it's crazy how the test can know your personality based on how you answer questions.…
Organizational Behavior Assessment Task 1 A1: I believe my two personality profile strengths are openness to experience and conscientiousness. As a child, I was always open to new experiences. I was eager to attend any outdoor activity with my dad, help with any sewing project my mother was working on, or watch my grandmothers cook recipes from scratch. As an adult, I continue to say yes to nearly every new opportunity.…
Reardon and Bullock (2004) stated that the “six types of personality can be described in terms of degree of differentiation (flat or uneven), consistency (level of similarity of interests or characteristics on RIASEC hexagon for the first two letter of a three letter Holland code), and identity (stability of the type)” (p.112). Furthermore, an individual with the realistic personality type usually avoids being social and likes to participate in hands-on activities. An example of an occupation that matches the realistic personality type is a mechanic. Second, an individual with the investigative personality type is likely to be curious and analytical.…
