OBSERVATIONS

Observations
The scientific process is takes the user through three individual steps. These three steps
are unsystematic observation, building theories, and evaluating propositions. These three steps
have helped me in my life to better understand my personality.

The first step, known as unsystematic observation, can be described as the developments
of anything in which one can look at, listen to, feel, smell, and/or taste. By using ones five
senses in life is useful in this step of the process. In regards to my personality, I have established
an understanding of how to approach situations to achieve a positive reaction. For example, if I
was to be shopping and witness another customer taking clothes from a shelf and placing them in
their backpack, this would be using my sense of sight.

The second step, known as building theories can be described as developing a theory
based on the collections from ones five sense in Step 1. In regards to my personality, this step
has given me the ability to think critically about a situation and develop a course of action. For
example, returning to the customer from Step 1, the theory I would build would be that this
customer is stealing merchandise.

The third step, known as evaluating propositions, can be described as justification of the
truth. In regards to my personality, this step has given me a sense of truthfulness in all aspects of
my life. For example, returning to the customer for the other two steps, I would feel obligated to
report this individual for allegedly attempting to defraud the store because that is the right thing
to do.
