Hey, Lily
Your results were fairly balanced on the five-factor test making you a very well-rounded individual. Regarding your statements on Maslow's Hierarchy, I agree with your points about self-actualization and self-esteem. These levels are harder to reach due to their placement on the hierarchy, meaning all basic physiological, social, and love needs would need to be fulfilled. Setbacks in life can push humans to revert to previous stages and cause the process of reaching "self-actualization" to become a seemingly unattainable goal. You articulated this well in your response, but you did not mention the "love" stage. I would love to know what you think about reaching this stage as the process of exceeding the checkpoint varies depending on the individual. Overall, I agree with your response and found it to be insightful.
