A.

B. The second is a 500-word handwritten analysis paper answering the following

questions:
i.

Each individual has a personality that is unique to them, making them

irreplaceable. This makes humans interesting because everyone has different experiences
and reasons why they behave and feel the way they do. The three traits that describe me
the most are as follows: honest, reliable, and ambitious.

I live by a strict code of honesty. Not only was I raised by my parents to always tell the
truth but also because it became an integral part of my life that I can't imagine myself
trying to lie. Being honest helped me keep my relationships with my family and friends
strong. This is because, at any time that we have misunderstandings, we talk about it
openly.

I being honest contributes to my reliability. When I give someone my word, I always

intend to keep it. I apply this philosophy at all times: from small routine tasks to critical
projects on which many things depend.

I am an ambitious person, as I want to achieve all the goals that I set in life. New
accomplishments make me extremely happy and help me to dream big!

ii. Who are the famous personalities (both fictional and real-life) that exhibit the same personality
type as you?

Without a clear idea of one’s own preferences, making the right choice can be
extremely difficult and confusing. Everyone’s personality is unique, and knowing
what makes us, we can lead to more life satisfaction, better life choices, and overall
success in both personal and professional spheres.
iii. What makes this personality test an actual application of popular psychology? Explain your
answer.
A personality test is a tool used to assess human personality. Personality
testing and assessment refer to techniques designed to measure the characteristic
patterns of traits that people exhibit across various situations. Personality tests can
be used to help clarify a clinical diagnosis, guide therapeutic interventions, and help
predict how people may respond in different situations

iv. How does this examination apply the following theories to you?
1. Identity Erosion;

Self-erosion occurs over a period of time and happens so quietly that the person doesn't
even realize it's happening. Self-erosion happens when we are so busy doing other things—
such as working, going to school, raising kids, and being in incompatible relationships—that we
slowly lose touch with who we are

2. Tribalism;

 Neorealism, also known as modern tribalism or new tribalism, is a sociological concept which
postulates that human beings have evolved to live in tribal society, as opposed to mass society,
and thus will naturally form social networks constituting new tribes.

3. Intersectionality
Intersectionality is the acknowledgement that everyone has their own unique experiences of
discrimination and oppression and we must consider everything and anything that can
marginalize people – gender, race, class, sexual orientation, physical ability,
