I completely agree with each of my results. I perceived myself as a introvert, feeler and judger prior to taking the quiz. As an introvert, I generally dislike big crowds and only enjoy engaging in a small group of friends or family. As a sensor, I tend to learn from experience and focus with detail, fact, and routine. For example, being on a routine basis during school hours is efficient for my success as a student. In the judging component of the assessment I need my everyday tasks to be in order, planned properly, and structured. For instance, whether meeting a friend for coffee, or submitting an assignments, each must be planned precisely. Subsequently, I try my best to be practical, but in some circumstances I can react and conclude in the opposite manner. For example, relationships and friendships sometimes change my perception from a realist to an optimist. I sometimes think of irrational possibilities rather than basing my decisions off morality, value and compassion. 2.

My id (pleasure principle) was urging me to either pick up the wallet, keep it, or walk away as if I did not see anything. (Weinten & Dunn, p. 23). I believe I was intelligent enough to understand that I should return it but instinctively I did not want to. I reached for my ego (the decision making component) and realized that this woman’s entire day would be ruined if she noticed her valuables were missing. I began to think someone may be watching me decide on whether to return the wallet or not (Weinten & Dunn, p. 23). I waited a few seconds before making a final decision. I reached for the superego part of the psyche and knew I had to return the wallet immediately. My superego (moral component/social standards) reminded me of my values and morals as a young adult (Weinten & Dunn, p. 24). If I had personally lost my wallet, I would have wanted it returned safely. Moreover, my superego had the most force in my decision. Many of my decisions are based off morality and personal value. I wanted to return the wallet because no one deserves to
