Question 2:Imagine that TWO of the theorists below were invited to speak at a symposium on personality theory development and are both on the stage.

What would each of the theorists you chose say in answer to the question? Choose from among Freud, Jung, Adler, Rogers, and Horney.

Question 3: What did you learn about your own personality from this course. What "spoke" to you...what did you learn about you?

Question 4: Consider the implications of psychic determinism and what it means in terms of personality development and manifestation of personality in adulthood. Do you believe that everything you think and do is predetermined by earlier experiences? And what would that mean for your ability to change and grow?

Question 5: Describe Allport's definition of a mature, adult personality. Allport described the persona as something vital and internal, yet external and false. How can this be?
