TomHeather / Sep 18, 2009 #1Essay title '' to what extent can a persons future behaviour be predicted from a detailed knowledge of his or her personality characteristics?"Things to include: Theoretical models and concepts and examples to support my viewsAny ideas welcome
EF_Simone 2 / 1,986 Sep 18, 2009 #2This sounds like a psychology assignment, and a pretty basic one at that. Do you have a textbook? If so, then I am guessing that your instructor would like you to use the personality theories covered in that text. If the instructor has lectured on the subject, consider the theories covered in those lectures. It's hard for us to suggest which theoretical models or concepts for you to mention without knowing which have been covered in your class. The five-factor model? Psychoanalytic theory? Maslow's research on self-actualizing individuals? What?

PurpleBear 2 / 6 Oct 24, 2011 #5Growing up and your personality - how to start my UC freshman?"Where you grow up might change your personality but who you grow up with, form that personality."Ok so I'm writing the personal essay, and the above sentence just seems awkward to me! Can someone please correct it?All the help is appreciated!Thanks!
93haider 1 / 6 Oct 25, 2011 #6"Form your personality based not on where you grew up, but who you grew up with."I think that's what you're trying to say. Sounds a bit better than what you had up there. But it depends on what you have around that sentence, if mine would make sense or not. Feel free to use that sentence.
