My name is Chasity Evans. I currently work at a nonprofit organization focused on reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. I have been promoted to the technical department and I honestly spend most of my day answering emails and making sure people have a knowledge base of CPR, heart disease, and stroke. I have a 6.5-month-old mini queen named Kennedi-C’mon (pronounced Ken-nuh-Dee Sa-Moan) hahaha, yes I’m one of “those” parents. She is my first child and we are 30 years apart in age. I was a student at Prairie View A&M University, I stopped pursuing education for 6years, and at 28 years old decided that I desire to finish what I started with my education. My pursuit is a BA in psychology; my concentration is child development. I chose this class out of all the options for a course this term because I believe that understanding the workings of personality can help in your work environment, school, and daily interaction with others.

He distinguished among cardinal traits, central traits, and secondary disposition and recognized that often, traits are aroused by one situation and not another [ CITATION Cer18 \l 1033 ]. He subscribed to the idiographic approach in research, some did feel his approach was antiscientific. However, case studies that are detailed may bring better insight into general principles that can be found across each individual case. Raymond B. Cattell established two distinctions that proved to be valuable for distinguishing multiplicity of personality traits, surface traits, and source traits [ CITATION
