Year 12 Investigation
Dear all
I hope your report writing is going well. You need to do some research about the Eysenck Personality Inventory which you can find at the following Wikipedia link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eysenck_Personality_Questionnaire
You can also find information about the NEO personality inventory at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_NEO_Personality_Inventory
and the Myers Brigg personality test at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator
There will be other links from these pages to useful information. Please remember that you need to read the pages and make sense of them and then write in your own words rather than just cutting and pasting info - I can tell when you have done that so please don't!
Have a look at some of the coursework links (lower down on the blog) as these will help you to write the report.

what i have learnt so far in psychology
i have only had a few lessons, but so far i have learnt the five main approaches in psychology (behaviourist, psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive and physiological) and also the different types of psychologists (what they do, who they work with and what qualifications are needed). From this i learnt what each area of psychology has in common. I learnt this from other people's presentations which also helped us improve our own presentation skills and know what is needed to make a good presentation.
