Design a personality inventory by yourself.
Question 1
Design a personality inventory by yourself. You are free to adapt ideas from any existing inventories but your inventory cannot be exactly the same as any existing ones. It has to be at least one page long.
Present your inventory clearly, with clear instructions given at the beginning and/or for your individual items. Also write in around 500 words to explain your rationale(s), the perspective(s) and concept(s) that have been applied.
Question 2
Look for two academic papers that is related to personality (preferably published not more than 15 years ago). Write in around 1000 words to comment on the papers’ contribution to the knowledge in the field.
Here are some ideas you may include in your writing:
1. How well (or not so well) are their findings in terms of allowing people to understand the field of personality psychology?
2. Do they echo with what other researchers have been saying?
3. Do they give us new insights?
4. How reliable and valid are the findings?
Feel free to come up with as many thoughts as you have.You need to provide a clear references list at the end of your answer, such as
1. Smith, D. (2015). Personality experiments. Journal of Personality, 26(1), 2.
2. Tang, M. B. & Stewart, J. (2009). College students and their personality profiles. London: Cambridge University Press.
