Blog #2
I remember reading Maslow's article and taking his personality test in my psychology class, so reading a familiar article was refreshing. Both times reading the articles they really got me thinking about who I really am, and where I am going in life. I had a little trouble taking the quick test, but I found the videos amusing and enjoyable. I personally found that I liked Maslow's theory more, mostly because it was easier to follow over Herzbergs. I believe that self-actualization can take a long time to achieve and some might not ever get there, but I think that's alright. A quote that I always think of is, “Focus on the journey not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it” by Greg Anderson. I believe that everyone should strive for self-actualization but they shouldn't fixate on it.

When I took the personality test I found it a little inadequate due to the fact that a lot of it had to many options for one answer. There were some that i related to but others i didn't and sometimes they evened out to where i couldn't answer the questions honestly. To some degree it was an accurate design with some minor flaws to actually detail your exact demeanor towards some of the questions. All in all it was a wakeup call for me and shined a light on things that i have missed out on over the years.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite quotes as well. Very nice, well-written post.
