Who I Think I Am: Introduction

Write  a 2 page Introduction to your paper titled “Who I Think I Am.” Your  Introduction should identify the purpose of your paper, which is to  describe your personality based on the BPP, which, in turn is based on  the five-factor model as well as the notion of a multifaceted self. You  will, therefore, have to describe each of the five factors as well as  the notion of multiple selves.  You should emphasize that the BPP, and  your paper, will focus on DIFFERENCES between the facets of the self,  which are summarized in an “integrator matrix.” Finally, you should  describe how your paper will be organized starting with a description of  your unified self, to provide background/context for the rest of your  paper. You will then explain how you will proceed to describe and  interpret the important differences in the facets of yourself according  to the integrator matrix. Use the “Who I Think I Am Introduction  Checklist” as you write your introduction and do not submit anything  until all requirements are checked off.
