Unit 4

 1. My top 3 interests are Investigative, realistic, and social. 

2. Some career examples are computer programmer, lab technician, civil engineer, surgeon, medical assistant, and therapist. I have interest in many of these careers. I have been aiming for a career in a STEM field, which many of these examples are, and I am currently an engineering major, which is similar to some of these. 

3. My highest values are achievement, relationships, and working conditions. Some of my lowest are independence and support. I think I would mostly agree with these results, definitely the highest ones. I think it is very important to have achievement, relationships, and good working conditions in a job. 

4. My top 3 traits are honesty/humility, openness to experience, and agreeableness. 

5. I would say that the test did a pretty good job of capturing traits that reflect who I am. While it is not perfectly accurate, I was impressed by how spot on the results were. I was a little surprised by the low score in emotional stability and high score in extroversion.

6. According to my results, I prefer a job environment that values fairness, personal growth, praise and high pay for performance, opportunities, and encourages new ideas. I think that the results math up with jobs in my major pretty well. I would also look for the social values of a workplace, how they treat their workers and costumers, and integrity of the company and its leaders when choosing where to work, which was not included in this assessment.

Final Post

1. Taking a look back at my first post, I remember not knowing what to write because I knew little about psychology at that point. Now, I am happy to say that I know much more. In my first blog post I write about how I had heard that psychology could be hard because it required a lot of memorization. I found in our course that this was true, but it was not a huge issue for me personally. I found that I was highly interested in many of the topics we learned about, which made it much easier for me to remember the information. Another thing that I know now compared to the time of my first blog post is how often concepts of psychology come up in my every day life. I have found that as we learn about new concepts, I would continuously see those concepts appear in my everyday life. 2. The fact that I am able to see how psychology appears in my everyday life, has helped me to realize how it can be relevant to my life, school, and future career. I have seen that learning about attachment style...

Unit 2 Application Reflection: Study Strats

Some of the study strategies I have used and use currently are avoiding distractions and multitasking while studying and working on assignments because I know that I am easily distracted and will not retain the information or focus if I am trying to multitask. I will stay off my phone until the assignment is complete and only focus on one assignment at a time. Another tactic I have recently implemented into my study strategies is planning and making a schedule of things I need to get done a few days before and when I should do them to get everything done on time without having to be stressed. I had been staying up too late getting assignments done because I was not expecting the work load that I would have, and then I would be stressed and not able to focus during the day. The schedule has helped me tremendously to get things done early and have more sleep and free time.  A strength that I believe I have in my study habits is active listening and note taking. I have made an effort ...
