For this assignment I am going to describe my own personality and compare it to what my friend thinks of my personality. I am also going to describe the evolution of behaviour and why people behave in the way they do.

What my friend Leigh thinks of my personality,

‘When I first met Kerry I thought she was very loud and outgoing, and even quite scary. Now I know Kerry she’s not scary at all, she’s very flirtatious, trustworthy and honest. She is a great mate and very responsible. Kerry has mood swings and can get very touchy with certain issues. Kerry is very funny and cares about her friends.’

What I think of my personality,

‘ I think I have different types of personalities. In college I am very outgoing and flirtatious, I speak my mind and let people know what I think of them. Out of college I am also outgoing and quite loud. I socialise a lot with my friends and like to have a good time. I do have a sensitive side when people talk about my business but I need to learn to ignore them and let it go over my head. I try not to judge people on first impressions and I like to get to know as many people as possible.’

Everyone has a different type of behaviour for different places, e.g. if you were at a friends house you would behave in your normal way but if you were going out somewhere formal you would behave in the manner expected of you. There are different ways to behave for everything you do.
