1. Identify the personality trait that showed up most often. Explain why you agree or disagree that it is an important in feature of your personality.

2. Describe what surprised about any of the patterns that emerged among the personality traits that your friends, family members and teachers listed.

3. Explain a trait didn’t show up in your cards that you thought would. Why do you think that is?

Give specific examples and specific details of why you believe this to be true or false.
