A self-concept inventory is included for rating qualities from 0-4. The ideal self is defined as how one wants to be, while the actual self is one's current self-image based on nurture and experience.

PERSONALITY

DEVELOPMENT
P.2
QUESTIONS
1. What are your insights and realizations in
your journal/essay?
2. Is there a positive and negative observations
about yourself, what are they?
3. What are (at least) 3 things that they want to
improve about yourself?
How do you perceive yourself? Look at the results of
your self-concept inventory and answer the following
questions.
1. In what areas do you consider yourself strong
(with score 14-16 or somewhat weak (score of 10-13)
and very weak (below 10).
2. Are there qualities you consider as your weakness
but other people consider as your strength? What are
these? Check with a partner.
Individual work
How do you see yourself physically? Mentally? And
emotionally?
How well do you know yourself? Rate your
knowledge from 01-10 and explain why.
Dealing with problems
Making decisions
Picture Analysis:
Present photos of different personality that made a
huge change (good and bad) over the years of their
living.
Example: A lady can say “I`m ugly” yet other
consider her very charming. Or conversely, one can
have the illusion of saying “I am very intelligent or
competent” when most of his ideas sound
unreasonable or illogical to most of the people.
There is indeed a big difference between what you
see in yourself (real self-image) and what is projected
in the eyes of the others (your social image)
3. How realistic is your self image?
4. To what extent does it reflect your real self?

Your ideal self is the self that you aspire to be.
It is the one that you hope will possess
characteristics similar to that of a mentor or
some other worldly figure. Your actual self,
however, is the one that you actually see. It is
the self that has characteristics that you were
nurtured or, in some cases, born to have.
The actual self and the ideal self are two broad
categories of self-concept. Self-concept refers
to your awareness of yourself. It is the construct
that negotiates these two selves. In other words,
it connotes first the identification of the ideal
self as separate from others, and second, it
encompasses all the behaviors evaluated in the
actual self that you engage in to reach the ideal
self.
The actual self is built on self-knowledge. Self-
knowledge is derived from social interactions
that provide insight into how others react to
you. The actual self is who we actually are. It is
how we think, how we feel, look, and act. The
actual self can be seen by others, but because
we have no way of truly knowing how others
view us, the actual self is our self-image.
The ideal self, on the other hand, is how we
want to be. It is an idealized image that we have
developed over time, based on what we have
learned and experienced. The ideal self could
include components of what our parents have
taught us, what we admire in others, what our
society promotes, and what we think is in our
best interest.

Chuck Palahniuk

 In the social jungle of human existence, there is no feeling of being alive without a sense
of identity.
 Erik Erikson
 We can spend our lives letting the world tell us who we are. Sane or insane. Saints or sex
addicts. Heroes or victims. Letting history tell us how good or bad we are. Letting our
past decide our future. Or we can decide for ourselves. And maybe it's our job to invent
something better.
 Chuck Palahniuk
