Two important Personality Trait Indicators measure your personality in different ways.
The first is the Big 5 Indicator, which measures 5 dimensions of your personality (YOU NEED TO MEMORIZE THE BIG FIVE FOR THE PERFORMANCE ESSAY, THE TEST, and THE AP EXAM):
*Extroversion (your level of sociability and enthusiasm)
*Agreeableness (your level of friendliness and kindness)
*Conscientiousness (your level of organization and work ethic)
*Emotional Stability (your level of calmness and tranquility)
*Intellect (your level of creativity and curiosity)
The second is the Myers-Briggs test, which measures 4 aspects of your personality:
*Extroversion/Introversion (how internally or externally focused you are)
*Intuition/Sensory (whether you see the details or the big picture)
*Feeling/Thinking (whether your rational thinking or your emotions control you)
*Perception/Judgement (how likely you are to make decisions/judgements)

In this section of the course, students explore major theories of how humans develop enduring patterns of behavior and personal characteristics that influence how others relate to them. The unit also addresses research methods used to assess personality.
AP students in psychology should be able to do the following:
- Compare and contrast the major theories and approaches to explaining personality (e.g., psychoanalytic, humanist, cognitive, trait, social cognition, behavioral).
- Describe and compare research methods (e.g., case studies and surveys) that psychologists use to investigate personality.
- Identify frequently used assessment strategies (e.g., the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory [MMPI], the Thematic Apperception Test [TAT]), and evaluate relative test quality based on reliability and validity of the instruments.
- Speculate how cultural context can facilitate or constrain personality development, especially as it relates to self-concept (e.g., collectivistic versus individualistic cultures).
- Identify key contributors to personality theor y (e.g., Alfred Adler, Alber t Bandura, Paul Costa and Robert McCrae, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers).
