Do I enjoy being a social butterfly or am I a lone wolf? As I wonder, I can answer my own questions by looking back at past experiences, situations, and relationships: I like people and crowds, I like to laugh and joke around, I am…

After reading the assignments out of our book it was very obvious that we were going to have a project that goes with the reading we just completed. After going through the whole process and through all the ups and downs it allows for me to give an answer to the question, “Are two heads really better than one?”. Since this project was completed and as the project was very productive I can state that I do believe two heads is better than one. But not every time you work with a group is the…

We are forever moving forward in a life’s journey where we may not know the future, but it is important to take time to examine the past.

The following is a career inventory interpretation doing just that, reflecting on a specific client, her past, present, and the implications…

The Jung Typology Test is designed to identify a person’s personality type. After completing the test, I found that I was categorized as an INFJ. Before starting the test I could have easily predicted I would be classified as an introvert. I also knew I would score high in the feeling category. I decided to do a little further research on my personality type to see how accurate these results were, and what exactly they meant. INFJ is also called “The Advocate” personality type. This…

For my application paper, I will focus on the topics of Rubin’s “Four Tendencies” and Irvine, The Stoics and Control. In the reading of Rubin’s framework, I learned that people usually fall within one of the four tendencies mentioned. Our inner and outer expectations play a huge role on our habits. The way we respond to our expectations classifies which tendency we fall under. “Our Tendency colors the way we see the world and therefore has enormous consequences for our habits” (Rubin, “The Four…

Multiple Intelligence (MI) theory was developed by an American psychologist named Howard Gardner (Child development theorists: Freud to Erikson to Spock . . . And beyond, 2009). With his extensive musical and artistic passion as a young person, he noticed the absence of these categories when he began his research in psychology as an adult. He made it a personal goal for his career to find the place where these categories could exist as part of psychology research (Helding, 2009). The MI theory…
