16 Personality Factors

Which is more beneficial, team sports or individual sports? When comparing team and individual sports, most people do not realize how easy it is to pick out the similarities and differences the two have. Individual and team sports have the same main purpose, but the motivation, competitiveness, and life skills set them apart. In athletics, most athletes set goals for themselves, whether it is a personal goal or a team goal. It is pretty easy to set a goal, but the person setting the goal may…

Communication is our way of showing our dissociative or associative behaviors. The way we talk, who we choose to interact with, and our perceptions of the in-group and out group identities are all dictated by many factors. Kim’s Interethnic Communication Theory has four layers that explain why and how we interact and communicate the way we do. The environmental layer will be investigated along with the way we do. The environmental layer will be investigated along with the concepts of…

In 1977, Bandura developed the theory of self-efficacy, which had originated from his social cognitive theory. Bandura himself defined self-efficacy as “the belief in one’s capabilities to organise and execute the courses of action required to produce given attainments.” This essay will explain Bandura’s theory of self-efficacy and discuss how a football coach can appropriately use it to enhance the confidence of young players. The theory is divided into four sources, all of which contribute to…

The team of four that I decided to work with were Abby R, Ben, and Emily T. Overall, I liked my choice of group members. We all got along pretty well with each other, and it helped that I knew Abby and Ben on a personal level. This allowed us to get together at each other’s houses, and work together on the project. This allowed for a much easier collaborative environment, and it also allowed us to collaborate on everything together, instead of one person being assigned one part, and the other…

Self Worth and The Correlation to Masks All throughout life we put up a guard and try to hide who we really are, we blame on it several different things, such as society, friendships, and trying to put on the perfect face. Certain situations play a huge part into wearing a mask, but the biggest contributor is self worth. The way we feel about ourselves takes control over the way we perceive our own feelings and also other people’s feelings and opinions of ourselves. Self worth and masks are…

So the truth of the matter is: Meditation can be hard to do. And that’s totally okay. I know it can seem really intimidating when somebody else seems to be great at meditation, and you sit there and your mind just bounces all over the place. It feels like what you’re supposed to be doing is think about nothing, but every moment you have a new thought, and every time you have a thought it ends up ultimately with the general sensation of “shit! I’m just not good at this thing.” And then…

Can two completely different characters also be very similar? This is the case with Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston from The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. Though they are both at first glance, different, they are also very similar. One way that Johnny and Dally are similar is that they have abusive or neglectful parents. The second way they are similar is that they both care about each other. While the ways they are different is that Johnny is law-abiding while Dally is not, and Johnny is sensitive…

Trying something new makes you learn a lot about yourself because it is a chance for you to take a risk on a task you do not know. Most are afraid of failure, not being good enough, yet there are some people who like the challenge, people like me. I have an attachment to learning ideas that I do not already know, I admire the concept of being smarter than I was yesterday. With this English college class, I challenged myself because I did not if I was prepared for this type of work or not. I grew…

straightforward as accepting a friend request. One should not just read a timeline, view a profile, to decide that person is officially a friend. As the process begins in the quest for a friend, their personality may determine friendship. Do they possess a unique sense of humor, have a distinct personality, share a mutual cultural, religious, or political beliefs? There will be a need to establish a rapport with them, to completely get to know them as individuals. Likewise, during the process…

Test 1: Are you type A? I scored 99 points on the first test, which categorises me as personality type B1. I believe this places me in an area that is not a hard-core type B, and allows me to display some soft type A attributes. I am a punctual person, preferring to be on time and meet deadlines, I do not obsess over time and can take time off for leisurely pursuits without feeling overwhelming guilt. With this, it may mean a tendency to procrastinate, and this tends to shorten the timelines…
