...Would I like to have a career that I love? Sure. Would I like to have a family started and have money to blow? Who wouldn’t?! But I don’t know for sure because the future hasn’t happened yet, hence why they call it the future. I’d like to say that in ten years I’d have a beautiful family, a job I wake up every morning excited for, and enough money to feed a small country. But you can never be too sure. My search for the perfect job began when I was talking to my uncle about this report. I told him I had to pick three careers I was interested in which was hard for me because I’m scatter-brained and at times indecisive. So he helped me narrow it down, and from then on it was a search through hours of Google links and a few dead trees wasted. It took me three whole days to collect 12 sources for my three careers which is hard for someone with my personality type to do. After taking the Keirsey Temperament survey I discovered I’m an INFJ, which is the rarest personality type of all. The name dubbed to my personality type is “The Caregiver”. It states that they are caring and parental towards everyone they love and love organization, yet extremely unfocused and in need of routine (INFJ 1). When I read that I couldn’t help but think that for once, an online quiz was actually right. It also said I was good with people and was well suited for medical work or being an artist of some sort, which just happened to fit two of my career choices (Careers 1). My careers chosen have no correlation...

...Abstract The following summary is written to report and explain the results of the Bias Test. This test was taken in order to complete assignment instructions for the course General Psychology PSYC1003. Bias Summary The biases do not represent how I perceive myself because in terms of the Gender-Career IAT that I do not think that male should be with the family. The way in which I have been brought up is that male is to go out into the working world and earn an income in which he can support his family while the female can contribute to the income if she chooses to do so. Whether this I right I do not know but this is my experience in my household while being brought up. I believe things are changing in today’s current society where there is more equality in the world but I don’t believe this bias test is correct with these results. The biases in the African America- European American IAT do not represent how I perceive myself because the tests show that I have a strong preference for European Americans rather than African Americans. I can’t see how I would have this opinion when I come from a mixed background. Brought up with one side of my family being mainly European and one side being mainly African with mixed parents I cannot understand as to how the bias test suggests that I have preference towards one or the other. The only thing that I think could affect my bias is that I was in a bit more contact with the European side of my family as a young child from about...
