Project Ideas from Class Monday

Remember that initially, with any topic, we work toward building a "working knowledge"—a sense of what it entails, what is being talked about recently, and so on. Having a working knowledge can help us start to figure out where and what we can contribute to the conversation with our own take.

We'll add to this list I'm sure, but here's what we've explored so far with regard to personality and our attempts to understand what makes us work:

• Personality testing, how it’s useful, how it’s used and where and with what implications
• Other ways data-hungry culture uses testing to understand workplaces and interactions among people
• Giving versus taking and the dynamics of that
• Personality traits/trends in the culture (parenting), in the world (social perfectionism and male suicide)
• Personality privilege, i.e. being introverted in an extroverted culture
