7-1 Discussion: Weaknesses and Bias Your initial post should begin with a brief summary of the assigned theory. Your instructor may reassign theories as needed for this discussion. Be sure to check the announcements in case your instructor has reassigned any theories. Consider the following in your initial post:
● Discuss some potential areas where the theory seems particular weak or biased. More specifically, are there any "weak links" in the theory or areas that the theory does not address?
● Is there any bias in how the theory explains personality? ● As you discuss the weaknesses and biases of your assigned
theory, also discuss any other theories that may address the weaknesses or biases of your assigned theory.

- Would this answer be different if you considered personality from a different theoretical perspective?
