Your responses to all three assignments are due by Sunday at 11:55 p.m. CST to the appropriate drop box
and in a format readable by your instructor (Word or PDF).
1. Read the following scenario and then answer the questions.
You just won millions of dollars in the lottery and need to find a good financial advisor to manage
the money. What steps would be involved in finding a good financial planner? Make sure you come
up with at least two steps for each of the four types of data covered in Chapter 2 (B, L, I & S). Please
label each of your steps with which category it would fall under. For example, test scores on
standard accountant exams B.
Remember, personality psychology relies on the same kinds of information that we rely on in our
everyday lives, only in a more systematic and comprehensive manner.
2. Ethical Job Applications
Complete the following practice personality test that is similar to those used in job applicatons.
http://www.psychometricinstitute.com.au (You will need to go to this website and then in the upper
right hand corner there is a box to click that says Free Personality Test follow the instructions
and then ..) While taking the test, notice the questions. Did any of them seem unethical to you?
How did you feel taking the test? If you were really completing a job interview, how would you feel
knowing that your personality was being analyzed by this test?
3. Rorschach Test from The Dark Mirror
The Dark Mirror is a movie about a set of twins and the entire movie is available in the Public
Domain section on YouTube. However, you need to watch the following clip and then answer the
questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0gQ3gvJTyM
Did you notice the differences in responses between the two sisters? Do you think that the way the
tests were given may have influenced the answers? (The first sister, Terry, was asked to face away
from the clinician, while the second sister, Ruth, faced him directly.) Based on her answers, the
clinician determined that the first sister (Terry) was insane. What do you think of this diagnosis?
What do you think about projective tests? Are they worthless? Are they good methods to break the
ice between the therapist and the client, or are they valid tests of personality?
