Psychology individual personality assignment
You are to write a 1200 - 1500 words essay about the development of your personality using one/or two of the 5 trait personality model (extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience) and the 5 major psychology theories (psychoanalysis, behaviorism, humanism, biological, and evolutionary).
Basically write about how you became the person you are today, and how experiences from your childhood affected it.
The theories should all be connected in some way and if you are to use 2 personality traits they also must be related. Your whole background is not required, just essential parts that are related

The first 2 attachments are general guidelines on what to do and what not to do.
The second attachment is about the 5 factor personality model.
The third one is the rubric for further guidance on how it will be marked.
The last attachment is marking summary that you are supposed to copy/paste at the end of the essay and before the bibliography/works cited page.
I'm slowly updating the page to be more specific about the assignment.
