Q PSY 110HA Personal Explorations Paper Guidelines and Rubric One project that you will complete during this course is the Personal Explorations Workbook. This workbook contains five surveys that you are to complete and score on your own. The surveys assess certain personality traits that we all possess to one degree or another. In given modules, you will be requested to complete some of these surveys, score them, and then submit your scores for that week. As you work along, you are also to keep a document in which you interpret your scores and explain how your score is reflective of your behavior. In some cases, you may be surprised of you score – elaborate on this and explain why you think the survey is under or overestimating this certain characteristic about you. At the end of Module 7, you will submit these written accounts of your scores as one document. This component counts as 10% of your grade, so be sure to take it seriously! You might find you learn something new about yourself, or confirm hunches about how you react or behave in certain situations. The paper should evaluate aspects of the core value personal development.
