First, review the personality theories covered throughout this course. Specifically, review trait theories, psychodynamic theories, phenomenological theories, biological theories, and social and cognitive theories discussed in modules 3-7. Then, choose a famous person, and in your initial post, analyze his or her personality according to one of the theories you learned about in this course. For example, according to your chosen theory, why does this person think, feel, or behave the way that he or she does? I have chosen to write about Michael Jackson. Michael sold over 400million records and won 13 Grammys and was known as The King of Pop. According to Myers-Briggs, Michaels’s personality type was ISFP. “ISFPPersonality types are known for their Feeling preference”. (Myers, CPP, 1998). They are sensitive, generous, and affectionate.

Choose a famous person: Curtis James Jackson III (50 Cent)Analyze his or her personality: Curtis James Jackson III goes by 50 cents and is a very well-known rapper. He had carried a “hard” image of drug dealing, growing up in the streets, and surviving being shot 9 times at the close range. According to the Myers-Briggs assessment, 50 cent has an ISFJ personality type. ISFJ stands for Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging. These personality types go out of their way to accommodate others’ feelings. During interviews he shows his true personality of being warm and kind, he has large amounts of respect for his grandma and still adheres to her rules in his own household. ISFJtypes are also realistic and practical, 50 cents has shown this by never fully relying on his musical success for income and stability. He has had numerous side businesses such as television, and clothing brands.
