Interview a person you feel comfortable asking about their personality and attitudes.
• Submit your Profile Report. For this project you will choose a person who is close to your
own age and interview that person to learn more about them. In addition to the interview
compare and contrast the responses from your interview with your own responses to the
same question. You will report your findings in an informative 1,400- to 1,750-word paper,
formatted according to APA guidelines, and containing the following elements:
o Does the interviewee remember information more accurately if he/she observes the
behavior being performed or does he/she prefer to read how the behavior is
performed?
o Does the interviewee prefer studying in a library, or at home where there are
background noises and some distractions?
o Has the person you are interviewing taken the Myers Briggs test? Report the results.
o Does your interviewee feel these results are accurate? Why or why not?
o Which experiences does this person feel contributed most in the development of
his/her personality?
o Does this person feel that he/she is self-monitoring in regards to his/her attitudes?
How or how not?
o What does the interviewee feel was the strongest influence on his/her attitudes?
o What role does your interviewee feel a person’s race, gender, or ethnicity play when
forming that person’s personality and attitudes?
o Does this person feel he/she is better at tasks when intrinsically motivated or
extrinsically motivated?
• Post as an attachment.
It seems that the assignment is clear, and you just need to get busy and find someone to interview.
Once you have written up your report, you might want to post it here if you want someone to proof it or to critique your thinking.

What role does your interviewee feel a person’s race, gender, or ethnicity play when forming that person’s personality and attitudes?
As an AI, I am unable to physically interview someone. However, I can guide you on how to approach this project and provide information on each question to help you complete the assignment.
1. Does the interviewee remember information more accurately if he/she observes the behavior being performed or does he/she prefer to read how the behavior is performed?
To answer this question, you can ask the interviewee about their learning style and whether they find it easier to remember information by observing it being performed or by reading about it. It is important to compare their response with your own preference and explain the similarities or differences.
2. Does the interviewee prefer studying in a library or at home where there are background noises and some distractions?
You can ask the interviewee about their study preferences and where they feel most productive. Compare their response with your own preferences and discuss the similarities or differences.
3. Has the person you are interviewing taken the Myers Briggs test? Report the results.
Ask the interviewee if they have taken the Myers Briggs test, which categorizes personality traits. If they have, you can ask them to report their results. If they haven't, you can explain what the test is and its purpose.
4. Does your interviewee feel these results are accurate? Why or why not?
Ask the interviewee about their thoughts on the accuracy of the Myers Briggs test results. Have them elaborate on why they believe the results are accurate or inaccurate. Compare their response with your own opinions on the accuracy of personality tests.
5. Which experiences does this person feel contributed most to the development of their personality?
Ask the interviewee about the experiences they feel have had the most significant impact on their personality development. Have them provide examples and reasons for their choices. Compare their experiences with your own and discuss any similarities or differences.
6. Does this person feel that they are self-monitoring in regards to their attitudes? How or how not?
Inquire about whether the interviewee actively monitors their attitudes and adjusts them based on the situation or context. Ask them to explain their reasoning and provide examples if applicable.
7. What does the interviewee feel was the strongest influence on their attitudes?
Ask the interviewee about the strongest influence(s) on their attitudes. It could be an individual, an event, or a personal belief. Engage in a discussion to understand their perspective and compare it to your own strongest influences.
8. What role does the interviewee feel a person's race, gender, or ethnicity play when forming that person's personality and attitudes?
Encourage the interviewee to share their thoughts on how race, gender, or ethnicity may contribute to a person's personality and attitudes. Explore their viewpoints and engage in a respectful dialogue. Compare their perspective with your own understanding of these influences.
9. Does this person feel they are better at tasks when intrinsically motivated or extrinsically motivated?
Inquire about whether the interviewee feels more motivated by internal factors (such as personal interest or enjoyment) or external factors (such as rewards or recognition) when completing tasks. Discuss their reasons and compare it with your own motivation preferences.
Remember, this project requires you to compare and contrast the responses from the interviewee with your own responses to the same questions. Make sure to provide explanations and insights based on the similarities and differences between your experiences, attitudes, and personalities.
Once you gather the necessary information from your interviewee, you can use it to write an informative paper, following the APA guidelines, with a word count between 1,400 to 1,750 words. Good luck!
