For my psych 101 class i have to write an introduction paper and one of the topics to touch on "about me". i need coming up with character traits or just anything that would be useful to include. i'm awful when it comes to talking about myself.

What do you like?

How do you feel about certain things like politics, food, sleeping, and other everyday simple matters?

Also, since I don't want to be a robot, just look up a list of character traits and use what matches you the best.

Hope I was of use. Have a nice day!

So, maybe the previous answer might have some use. There were considerable thoughts in there. To add my own, maybe you could look at the five personality traits.

1.) Openness: This is the word used for those who are eager to learn and try new things. They tend to have wild imaginations and are incredibly curious, instead of sticking to the old ways and old habits.

2.) Introversion/extroversion: Introverts such as myself are known to be quieter and reserved. We don't usually act well under pressure or overstimulation. Extroverts, on the other hand, get most of their energy from being around crowds, and don't usually have much trouble just going up to someone and striking up a conversation, which is something I admire.

3.) Conscientiousness: If you're conscientious, then you always have a strong sense to work hard. You always try to hone everything you do to the best of your ability, for example, planning ahead. Notice the root word 'conscience'.

4.) Neuroticism: Neurotic people are prone to things like stress, breakdowns, anxiety, etc, because they constantly worry about things.

5.) Agreeableness: This is someone's capacity to show compassion to another. The opposite of this is paranoia, envy, and being competitive.

Here's an idea for you. For every one of the five traits, maybe you could rate them on a scale of one to ten, depending on how much you think this is part of you. Maybe you could also explain why, and give some other insight that your reader may find helpful.

For instance, if you think you are somewhere in between introversion and extroversion, you are an ambivert, and could mark that down as a five. You could also explain how neither of the qualities relate to you as much.

I hope this helped. Remember, these are suggestions. You don't have to do them if you don't want to. Best of luck on your paper, Nae. Hope this helped.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
