Complete the Personal Insights: Whats My Basic Personality? questionnaire on page 294 of
the custom edition of your text. Using the Analysis and Interpretation section (pp. 294-295),
calculate/determine your dominant personality type (i.e., which of the five dimensions did you
score extremely high or low oni.e., a 15 on the extraversion dimension suggesting you are an
extravert OR a 3 on that same scale suggesting you are an introvert). If you do not feel
comfortable sharing your actual scores on these dimensions with me, it is acceptable to just state
that you scored high, moderate, or low on a dimension. If more than one dimension stood out
with a very high or low score and you want to discuss multiple dimensions that is encouraged. If
you scored in the moderate range on all five dimensions, just pick one and discuss it. Discuss
your personality type and whether or not it fits well with your current job/occupation. If you are
not currently working, discuss which type of job/occupation would be a good match for your
personality. Use references related to personality and job/occupation/career/etc. to support your
discussion. Cite your references within your discussion and include the full citations for your
references on your Reference page at the end of your document, following the APA Guidelines
that I provided you in Doc Sharing. Submit your completed assignment to the appropriate
dropbox. This assignment is due by 1:00 PM on April 1, 2014. The following rubric will be used
