Freud's Iceburg-Group Presentation video

DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE MOVIES, TELEVISION SERIES, TRAILERS, SOUNDTRACKS, or DOCUMENTARIES PORTRAYED IN THE TRAILER.
As a group, we selected the Chapter that dealt with Sigmund Freud's concepts of the Id, Ego, and SuperEgo.
As the other groups were having trouble pulling up their video cips onine I decided to edit/mix ours to avoid internet connection problems. As it turned out, we suffered from other problems, instead.
We were not alone: each group suffered from their own version of technial difficulties.

Group Presentation Scoring Sheet

Our group name was, "The Manipulators" and we covered Chapter 11-Personality, which also covered the introduction of Sigmund Freud. I presented this video and read from one of the other student's PowerPoint presentation.
One of our group members created a quiz-game with the chapter's definition.
Another girl created an overhead presentation and drew a picture depicting how negative thinking can affect a student prior to testing.
Another student provided a live-action demonstration regarding personality and where certain people sit in a classroom.

I also provided a handout combining the DiSC and Keisey personality tests together to allow students to better communicate with others in their personal and work-place lives.

For treats, I was able to obtain empty medicine bottles from a friend who worked at a pharmecutical company. We filled them with M&M's and slapped some realistic-looking labels on them.
My wife sealed up the box, which I cut open in front of the class, without explaining what they were. The expressions on the student's faces were precious as they each selected their bottles from the 'freshly opened' box.

We also provided 4 different types of cookies to signify the 4 basic personalities listed the personality tests, asking the students, "What kind of cookie are you?"

VARK Learning Personality Test

This is a quick extra credit exercise that I actually completed in my Portfolio class. It shows us our best methods of learning. Even though I best learn by doing and seeing I actually studied for the quizzes and tests with the tesxt's audio book that was available. I purchased the audio book, downloaded the chapters onto my MP3 player and listed to it almost every day as I drove to and, often times, from work for the duration of the class. It included audio flash cards and audio quizzes. It really was influential with my studying.

DiSC-Personality Test for Communication

DiSC website: http://www.onlinediscpersonalityprofile.com/?gclid=CIKuvujevKQCFSFbiAodW2jB0g

This is a personality test I fell in love with from LDS Business College. With this quick test one can easily and quickly distinguish between the personality types of different people. It's intended to help clarify and avoid miscommunication between two varying personalities.

D=Dominance: Authority, challenges, prestige, freedom, varied activities, growth assignments, "bottom line" approach, opportunity for advancement (leaders).
I=Influence: Social recognition, popularity, people to talk to, freedom from control and detail, favorable working conditions, recognition of abilities, chance to motivate people, inclusion by others (entertainers).
S=Steadiness: Security of situation, time to adjust, appreciation, identification with group, repeated work pattern, limited territory, areas of specialization (listeners/people person).
C=Cautiousness/Compliance: Personal autonomy, planned change, personal attention, exact job descriptions, controlled work enviornment, reassurance, precise expectations (workers).

In a profeesional work or school enviornment I am a 'C,' in a theater/film enviornment I am an 'I'. I can become a 'D' if I have to and am an 'S' only when necessary.

Kiersey Temperament Sorter-Personality Test for Work Occupation

Official website: http://www.keirsey.com/


As portrayed in my Final Paper, "The Force Within Us" I am listed as an 'Idealist.' My wife is listed as a 'Guardian.'

I have theorized that the catagories listed in the Kiersey Tempermant Sorter, the DiSC Personality Test, and the color personality tests are similar to each other. Under this therory I have listed them as such:
Rationals = D = Red
Artisans = I = Yellow
Guardians = S = Green
Idealists = C = Blue
However, on one occasion I saw my 'Guardian/S/Green' personality wife lean completely towards her 'Guardian' side and neglect some primary attributes of her 'S' side. Recently I have also seen her switch from her 'S' side to a 'C' when she wanted us to hurry and leave so that we could arrive at a party appointment on time.
It is my belief that a well-rounded person will have the best of all of these attributes. I have noticed that in my mother; instantly switching from one to another as the need arises and if necessary, but always focusing on the positive aspects as opposed to the negative.
