The Applications Assignment is worth 60 points. There are five questions, each worth 12 points. The questions for this week are:

• Take a look at the material on sensation seeking on page 286 (Ch. 11). Do you consider yourself a sensation seeker? Why or why not? What are the advantages and disadvantages of your level of sensation seeking?
• How would you rate your own achievement motivation? Why? In what ways is this an advantage to you? In what ways is it a disadvantage?
• What did you learn about yourself from reading about the trait theories of personality?
• What did you learn about yourself from reading the other theories of personality? (List and explain at least three things.)
• How will you use this material on personality to improve your relationships (personal and/or professional)?

Your answers will be graded using the following guidelines (each question is worth 12 points) :

• 12 points - answer fully addresses all parts of question. Answer shows a degree of reflection and explanation.
• 10 points - answer addresses all parts of question, but is too brief and would do well to illustrate more of the thinking behind it.
• 8 points - answer is far too brief but does address all parts of the question posed.
• 6 points - answer is brief and does not address all parts of the question posed.
• Additional points can be deducted for spelling and grammar.
