6-2 Project One

For this project, you will write a theory application paper; you will apply theories of personality to yourself, someone you know,or someone you have read about in a biography or autobiography. The Project One Milestone you completed in Module Four
Helped prepare you for this assignment. Use the Project One Template to complete your paper.
Note: This paper will contain nonclinical analysis. Your task is not to diagnose or assign clinical labels to yourself or
others. That would require licensure beyond the scope of this course.
Consider visiting the Academic Support module before submitting your paper. Resources in that module include writing
tutoring, written feedback for writing assignments, and citation help from the Shapiro Library.
