1: “Things can also be different” Discussion

People who knew Alfred Adler personally often recalled his saying, “things can be different”. Adler, an optimist, believed and relayed to others a belief that life can be different, can improve, and that we can improve and become different.

In Adlerian psychology, there is only one improvement that counts – and that is an individual improvement in a context of and by improving the lives of others. Based on this week’s reading, please be prepared to discuss:

  • If you were to present a self-improvement workshop for extremely discouraged, burned out, and underpaid staff of a homeless shelter, what would be your ten points of practical, uplifting, rich, and convincing advice to them?

1. Take the PTB Personality Survey BEFORE doing anything else in this module. • psyc 102 Tue, Sep 28, 11:08 PM (11 hours ago) This is my PTB result. • You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, and reserved. You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your advantage. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself. You have a strong need for other people to like you and for them to admire you. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. You pride yourself on being an independent thinker and do not accept others’ opinions without satisfactory proof. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. Disciplined and controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside. Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic. Your sexual adjustment has presented some problems for you. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them. • • On a scale of 0-10, how accurate would you say the results of the survey describe you.

You may copy and paste, but you MUST cite your source According to https://www.personalitypage.com/html/INFJ.html INFJs are gentle, caring, complex, and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the rarest of all the types. INFJs place great importance on havings things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define and redefine the priorities in their lives. On the other hand, INFJs operate within themselves on an intuitive basis which is entirely spontaneous. They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right, and they usually know it. Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith into their instincts and intuitions. This is something of a conflict between the inner and outer worlds and may result in the INFJ not being as organized as other Judging types tend to be. Or we may see some signs of disarray in an otherwise orderly tendency, such as a consistently messy desk. • • Explain how your personality matches the personality type. Give a specific example.I would say that the personality type matches my personality very well. I am very gentle and caring even with people I do not know. Sometimes I ask myself why I care so much but it is just my nature. As much as I love to care for people I keep my friendship circle very small and it works very well for me. Name two famous people (real or fictional) with the same personality type as yours and post their pictures (cite your source) Benedict Cumberbatch Nelson Mandela Source: https://www.sosyncd.com/infj-famous-people/ 4.

Answer only with one number. I would say 9 • Post your personality type Your personality type is: Advocate INFJ-T • Describe your personality type, according to the linked site or other reputable source. You may copy and paste, but you MUST cite your source. According to https://www.16personalities.com/infj-personality Advocates are the rarest personality types of all. Still, Advocates leave their mark on the world. They have a deep sense of idealism and integrity, but they aren’t idle dreamers – they take concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting impact. Advocates’ unique combination of personality traits makes them complex and quite versatile. For example, Advocates can speak with great passion and conviction, especially when standing up for their ideals. At other times, however, they may choose to be soft-spoken and understated, preferring to keep the peace rather than challenge others. • Explain how your personality matches the personality type. Give a specific example My personality matches this personality type so well. Speak when I need to speak, stand up for my rights, also communicate with people in deep ways but most times I rather stay quiet than challenge a person even when I know I am right. • Name two famous people with the same personality type as yours. Post their pictures (cite your source) Pharrell Williams Oprah Winfrey Source: https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-infjs/celebrity-lists 4. Which of the personality scores do you believe are the most accurate and describe your personality best? Explain. I suppose both of my personality tests are correct and accurately represent my personality because I received the same category on both, which is exactly how I see myself fitting into this personality type.
