1) Using 2 academic references outside of class write a literature review on the Big 5 model of personality theory (Literature Review – 5 points).

2) Think about a person you are very close to that you have had an opportunity to observe on many occasions. They could be a friend, family member, or co-worker. Describe that person’s behavior in various settings compared to your own, and based only on your description develop a hypothesis predicting the personality level for each of the five dimensions of the Big 5 (Hypothesis – 5 points). For example, are they more introverted or extraverted? Agreeable or less agreeable, etc.? Would you score them as a 2 or a 4?

3) After you have developed your hypothesis, administer the personality inventory measure to that person, calculate the scores and include them in a written results section in your paper describing your steps and the results (Methods section – 5 points).

4) Compare the results to your prediction for each personality dimension and state if your hypothesis was supported (Results section – 5 points).

5) Discuss why you believe your hypotheses were either supported or not supported (Discussion section – 5 points).

6) Lastly, based on the results, explain implications for why or how you think that person’s personality may help them at their job. If they are unemployed, discuss what job you think suits them best? (Conclusion – 5 points)

7) Your codebook and a photo of the survey they completed needs to be included (5 points).
