Hi Reagan, I found your discussion very informational and interesting. Your test scores seemed to be very balanced and I love how you explained why you agree or don't agree with some of the results. I also enjoyed learning about the openness to experience category as well for similar reasoning that you expressed. Similar to you I think my neuroticism score should not be as high as it is, I also find myself controlling my emotions by not letting them alter my train of thought. I agree with you concerning Maslow's theory. I think the highest level people reach is the love level. Everyone experience love in one way or another; however, I feel as if most people find their worth and esteem through the love of others. If this is the case, can people truly reach their personal self-esteem level or self-actualization level, which limits them from reaching their full potential (Spielman p. 285). This was a great post, Reagan! I really enjoyed reading it!
