Assignment task:
Referring to the summary of HEXACO traits in the Seminar Background document for the Week 17 seminar, describe your personality or someone you know using three of the six traits. Indicate whether there are low, medium, or high levels of each trait and provide an example (e.g., behavior; way of thinking or feeling) to illustrate why you think this is the case. (To ensure that your comments are in keeping with the purpose of this exercise, please refrain from discussing highly personal information regarding distress or mental health concerns when describing your personality traits. If you are experiencing distress or mental health concerns, and wish to speak with someone about these issues, you can contact Good2Talk, a help line for post-secondary students, or try the free personal counselling that is offered by Brock. Please see the course syllabus on Brightspace for further information about these resources).
Regarding one of the personality traits considered in question #1, discuss how that personality trait can have both advantages and disadvantages (discuss at least one of each).
Discuss and advantage and disadvantage of measuring personality traits using a personality inventory like the HEXACO versus one of the other methods of personality assessment highlighted in your Week 17 Seminar Background document (i.e., interviews, situational testing, or projective tests).
