Disclaimer
Our AI writing assessment is designed to help educators identify text that might be prepared by a generative AI tool. Our AI writing assessment may not always be accurate (it may misidentify
writing that is likely AI generated as AI generated and AI paraphrased or likely AI generated and AI paraphrased writing as only AI generated) so it should not be used as the sole basis for
adverse actions against a student. It takes further scrutiny and human judgment in conjunction with an organization's application of its specific academic policies to determine whether any
academic misconduct has occurred.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I interpret Turnitin's AI writing percentage and false positives?


The percentage shown in the AI writing report is the amount of qualifying text within the submission that Turnitin’s AI writing
detection model determines was either likely AI-generated text from a large-language model or likely AI-generated text that was
likely revised using an AI-paraphrase tool or word spinner.

False positives (incorrectly flagging human-written text as AI-generated) are a possibility in AI models.

AI detection scores under 20%, which we do not surface in new reports, have a higher likelihood of false positives. To reduce the
likelihood of misinterpretation, no score or highlights are attributed and are indicated with an asterisk in the report (*%).

The AI writing percentage should not be the sole basis to determine whether misconduct has occurred. The reviewer/instructor
should use the percentage as a means to start a formative conversation with their student and/or use it to examine the submitted
assignment in accordance with their school's policies.

What does 'qualifying text' mean?


Our model only processes qualifying text in the form of long-form writing. Long-form writing means individual sentences contained in paragraphs that make up a
longer piece of written work, such as an essay, a dissertation, or an article, etc. Qualifying text that has been determined to be likely AI-generated will be
highlighted in cyan in the submission, and likely AI-generated and then likely AI-paraphrased will be highlighted purple.

Non-qualifying text, such as bullet points, annotated bibliographies, etc., will not be processed and can create disparity between the submission highlights and the
percentage shown.

Introduction

Personality is an intricate aspect of human nature that is shaped by a multitude of internal and

external variables. In trying to explain and comprehend personality, psychologists have generated a huge

array of theories over the years, each with its own distinctive insights. My research has increased my

awareness of the importance of the different perspectives that help us understand the underlying motives

that each of us possesses. I'll present a thorough toolkit for this assignment that includes Maslow's Hierarchy

of Needs, Cattell's trait theory, and Freud's psychoanalytic theory. I'll analyze my own personality as well as

the personality of someone I don't always agree with using these frameworks. This toolbox will offer helpful

advice for both professional and personal development in addition to fresh perspectives on relationships. In

order to determine how this course has affected my thinking, I will lastly contrast this strategy with my

initial theories regarding personality development.

My Toolkit Explained

1. Freud’s Psychoanalytic Theory:

The psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud places a particular emphasis on how the unconscious

mind shapes behavior. The id (primitive desires), the ego (rational reasoning), and the superego (moral

consciousness) are the three structures that make up an individual's personality, according to Freud (Freud,

1923). Freud also believed that early events and unresolved problems permanently shaped a person's

psyche. Defense mechanisms such as suppression and denial are used to handle internal conflicts between

these systems (Freud, 1937). This hypothesis appeals to me since it highlights the significance of early

experiences and subconscious processes in shaping a person's personality. Moreover, Freud's studies of

defense mechanisms provide insight into the causes of occasionally absurd behavior. Research supports the

concept that behavior regulation and decision-making are influenced by unconscious processes (Bargh &

Morsella, 2008).

2. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs:

Abraham Maslow's humanistic viewpoint highlights the positive aspects of human nature,

particularly the pursuit of self-actualization. Human motivation can be categorized into a hierarchy of needs,

starting with physiological needs and moving up to safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-

actualization, according to Maslow's 1943 hypothesis. I find this concept appealing because it places a

strong emphasis on personal growth and the notion that people are naturally driven to realize their greatest

potential. Maslow's theory has gained traction because it can be used to a number of disciplines, such as

psychology, business, and education, to comprehend human motivation and behavior. Maslow's hierarchy is

supported by research, especially when it comes to wellness and mental health (Tay & Diener, 2011).

3. Cattell’s Trait Theory:

In line with Raymond Cattell's 1946 trait theory, each of the 16 dimensions depicts a personality

trait continuum between two extremes. Because these traits are observable and consistent, they aid in

behavior prediction. According to Cattell, both intrinsic and extrinsic traits can have an impact on a person's

personality. Because Cattell's theory provides a methodical and quantitative approach to analyzing

personality traits, I believe it to be helpful. The fact that these traits are taken from actual data ensures the

idea's scientific foundation. Modern personality tests, such the 16PF, which are frequently used in clinical

and professional settings to gain a deeper understanding of human behavior, have been impacted by Cattell's

work (Cattell, 1993).

Synthesis of the Theories:

Each of these theories offers a unique viewpoint on the characteristics of human personality.

Maslow's theory focuses on human potential and the need for fulfillment, whereas Freud's idea of

unconscious conflict aids in the explanation of deeply rooted emotional problems. Cattell's Trait Theory

provides a rigorous technique to identifying individual qualities, adding a quantitative element. When taken

Page 5 of 11 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:3027527659


Page 6 of 11 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:3027527659

as a whole, these concepts offer a thorough toolkit that acknowledges the complexity of human behavior,

including unconscious motives and the requirement for personal growth.

Application to Myself

Thanks to Freud's theory, I now understand that my inclination to intellectualize my emotions may

be the outcome of unresolved internal conflicts, such as those brought on by early experiences that shaped

my coping methods (Freud, 1923). For example, because I grew up in an environment that forbade

emotional expression, I may have utilized reasoning as a defensive tactic to avoid becoming vulnerable

emotionally. I can deal with stressful situations more adeptly because of my increased self-awareness, which

allows me to pay conscious attention to the sentiments I frequently disregard. Furthermore, understanding

the function of my moral superego has enabled me to see how internalized cultural norms influence my

behavior and frequently make me feel guilty when I fall short of my own high expectations (Freud, 1923).

My need for mental emotion management is confirmed by this critical assessment of myself. Maslow's

hierarchy of needs has made it easier for me to see why I want to become healthier. My drive for self-

actualization drives my unwavering quest of personal growth, whether it be via education, career

achievement, or maintaining meaningful relationships (Maslow, 1943). Maslow's hierarchy of needs places

self-transcendence at the top, which is consistent with my ongoing efforts to significantly and meaningfully

contribute to the well-being of others, especially through assisting others and fostering strong familial ties

(Maslow, 1943). Not to mention, Cattell's Trait Theory shows how my introversion and conscientiousness

really affect my conduct. My high conscientiousness drives me to be meticulous and organized, but my

introversion influences how I inwardly process information and influences my decision to seek isolation for

renewal (Cattell, 1993). Cattell's emphasis on dynamic aspects (Cattell, 1993) further demonstrates how

situational concerns might occasionally force me to venture outside of my introverted comfort zone and

Page 6 of 11 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:3027527659


Page 7 of 11 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:3027527659

adopt more extraverted behaviors when appropriate, such as in social or professional circumstances. These

theoretical understandings give my personal growth a more intricate context.

Application to Someone I Butt Heads With

Using Freud's framework to analyze their behavior, I can understand how this person's emotional

distance could be a coping technique for unresolved past conflicts, most likely involving trust and

vulnerability (Freud, 1923). This perspective makes it easier for me to see that their unwillingness to engage

in really in-depth talks is a personal problem rather than a reflection on our relationship. In accordance with

Maslow's hierarchy of requirements, behavior indicates unmet esteem needs, which push people to seek

affirmation from others to feel important and respected (Maslow, 1943). They may enter competitive or

combative relationships out of a need for approval, particularly when they see a threat to their self-worth.

Cattell claims that while their high extraversion manifests as a propensity for socializing and seeking

stimulation from outside sources, their low agreeableness leads to conflict due to a lack of empathy and

collaboration (Cattell, 1993). I can handle our conflicts with more patience and understanding now that I am

aware of these traits.

Toolkit Offers a New View

Having used my toolkit on this person, I now see why we typically disagree. I was able to deduce

from Freud's theory that their protective behavior might not be personal but rather a sign of more serious

unconscious issues, including unresolved childhood traumas (Freud, 1923). I'm reminded by Maslow's

hierarchy of needs that they may still be addressing their demands for self-esteem, which could account for

their actions that appear to be competitive or aimed at getting approval from others (Maslow, 1943). By

highlighting how fixed traits that just could not align at the root of our disparities in personality, such as their

high extraversion and low agreeableness compared to my introversion and conscientiousness, Cattell's Trait

Theory offers a more objective viewpoint (Cattell, 1993). This realization has allowed me to approach

Page 7 of 11 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:3027527659


Page 8 of 11 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:3027527659

interactions with a greater awareness of the motivations behind them, which has made me more patient and

understanding in conflictual circumstances. My ability to resolve conflicts has increased, which could

benefit our connection. When I use this toolkit, I can assess other people's activities from a range of

perspectives, which improves communication and empathy and has broader consequences on my

relationships.

If I were to pursue a career in helping people, this toolkit would be extremely helpful to me in

understanding people's struggles. Whereas Freud's theory would emphasize the unconscious forces dictating

behavior, Maslow's theory would assist individuals in achieving personal fulfillment and growth. Using

Cattell's Trait Theory could lead to a more successful and individualized approach to therapy or counseling,

as it provides a methodical technique to evaluate personality traits and adapt therapies to individual

differences. Comprehending the intricate connections among these ideas may prove beneficial in my

professional endeavors and enable me to completely recognize the benefits and drawbacks for my

customers. By developing positive traits, increasing self-awareness, and fortifying resilience, I would be

able to assist others in realizing their aspirations of self-actualization.

Comparing the Old and the New and Looking Ahead

In my Unit 3 assignment, I proposed a theory of personal personality that primarily focused on

social learning and environmental effects. I believed that external factors, particularly those resulting from

experiences in life and social interactions, had a significant impact on personality. I still admire that

approach, but with the addition of unconscious processes (Freud, 1923), intrinsic motivation (Maslow,

1943), and stable traits (Cattell, 1946), my new toolkit provides a more nuanced perspective. This

modification allows me to consider both environmental and internal factors in personality formation, which

provides me with a deeper understanding. My concept of personality has altered significantly when I

compare how things were perceived with my current toolkit to how they were perceived with my previous

Page 8 of 11 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:3027527659


Page 9 of 11 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:3027527659

one. I began by focusing on outside influences, highlighting the possible consequences of social interactions

and the surrounding environment on behavior. This method, while helpful, constrained my exploration of

the subtle psychological aspects and fundamental causes that influence personality.

Thanks to Freud's recognition of unconscious processes, I now have a new perspective on how my

inner conflicts and past experiences influence my decisions and behaviors. My understanding of personality

is expanded by this material, which shows how internal impulses and qualities interact dynamically with

external experiences to shape personality. Maslow's hierarchy of needs places a strong emphasis on the

value of self-actualization and personal development, which motivates me to acknowledge the part that my

goals and motivations play in the formation of my personality. This comprehensive understanding will

influence many facets of my life in the future. In personal relationships, I can approach conflicts with greater

empathy, recognizing that both my own internal struggles and the other person's traits may play a role in our

interactions. With this toolset, I can adjust my professional approach to meet the specific needs of each

client while also considering their goals and the surroundings in which they live—especially if my ultimate

goal is to work in the helping professions. In the end, this move toward a deeper understanding of

personality development will direct my attempts to create deep connections and promote personal

development in others as well as in myself.

Conclusion

In synthesizing Freud’s Psychoanalytic Theory, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and Cattell’s Trait

Theory into a cohesive toolkit, I have gained invaluable insights into human personality. These frameworks

help me better comprehend who I am and who I'm with. My inherent traits, internal motives, and

subconscious influences all work together to improve my capacity to manage both personal and

professional relationships.

As time goes on, I realize how important self-awareness and empathy are to creating enduring

connections. The most significant lesson is that knowing personality is a difficult process that demands

taking into consideration both internal and external aspects. By using a holistic approach, I can promote

healthier relationships and have a beneficial impact on the wellness of other individuals. Ultimately, by

living up to these principles, I will be able to develop myself and help others achieve their own goals of

fulfillment and self-actualization. This journey has the potential to be transformative as we work toward

realizing our greatest potential and learning more about ourselves and one another.
