Overview: To complete this journal assignment, you will take a personality test, the IPIP-NEO (International Personality Item Pool Representation of the NEO PI- R). You will then review results from a Sample Personality Results Report and reflect on your own personal experience and the feedback provided in the report.

 What do you think is the usefulness of knowing the results from the IPIP-NEO?

 Did you agree with the results?

 How would you feel if you received the feedback from the Sample Personality Results Report?
