I am an extremely caring and emotional person. This also one of the biggest parts of my personality. I care so much, sometimes too much, about things, whether that is others in my life, my work, my relationships, myself, etc. A big thing I care about is my family (my two brothers and my mom especially) and my best friends. Since I care so much I really find joy in helping others. I am naturally a pretty emotional person and take things to heart.

I am a very outgoing person who constantly enjoys being are people. I thrive off of people, that is how I get my happiness. I can be independent but I m such a social and people person that I would prefer that. I am not afraid to make new friends and be outspoken or lead the group. I also find joy in helping others, even if I do not know them that well. My outgoingness (extraversion) is one of the biggest and most important parts of my personality.

Displacement -
I use displacement as a defense mechanism more often times than not. Displacement occurs when you transfer your original negative feelings (usually anger) away from the actual target and onto a more harmless victim. For example, when I have a bad day at school, I may take out my anger on the kids I work for or my family when I come home. My family nor the kids aren't the source of my anger at all, but because they are there they are easiest to take my emotions out on, unfortunately. I do try to not do this as much as I can though.
Projection -
I use projection mostly when I am insecure. Projection occurs when you project your insecurities onto others. For example, if I am self conscious about how I look if I do not have makeup on or if I am not confident in my outfit choice, I may blurt out "What are you looking at?" This is a prime example of projecting my insecurities onto others.
Regression -
I use regression a lot as a defense mechanism. Regression occurs when you revert back to your "child-like" state, or "angst". For example, I use it most when I am stuck in traffic or when driving in general is bothering me and I get extreme road rage. This is a great example of this defense mechanism that I can relate to.
Reaction Formation -
I use reaction formation usually when I am upset and don't want people to know I am. For example, if I was just crying and came back from the bathroom at school and somebody asks me if I am okay, I could blurt out, "Hah, no, no! Of course not, why would you think that?", and display feelings of happiness and excitement to try to distract others from my actual emotions. Reaction formation occurs when you display feelings opposite of what you actually are feeling.

"I took all my things that make sounds, The rest I can do without"
"No, I don't want your body. But I'm picturing your body with somebody else"
These are lyrics from the song "Somebody Else" by The 1975 (Pictured above). This is my favorite song of all time for many reasons. First off, I obviously like the tunes and the voices, and just the sound of the song overall. I also like the lyrics behind it and sometimes relate to them. For example, as I said, I am a sensitive person. I relate to the first lyric because music is one of the only things that truly keeps me going. I am always listening to music, music is healing to me in many different ways. I honestly do not know what I would do without it, for it is a part of me. I relate to the second line sometimes because when I am sad and lonely, I will think of my past lovers and become sad, because even though I do not necessarily need them, it hurts to see them with somebody else.

Openness:
I feel that I am in the middle for openness because while I am mostly open to new experiences (adventure related), I am an extremely picky eater and have an extremely difficult time being open to new foods.
Conscientiousness:
I feel that I am in the middle to high for conscientiousness, because many things for school I just want to get done and out of the way, not really caring too much about it. But most of the time I am conscientious about my work, as I get good grades. If it is something I enjoy doing, for example writing or creating a Padlet, I make sure it is perfect.
Extroversion:
I feel I am high on extroversion because I am extremely outgoing (as it is one of my main 5 personality traits), and I am always open and confident to meet new people.
Agreeableness:
I feel that I am middle to high on agreeableness because while people usually get along with me because I am generally nice, I sometimes have an issue with not getting my way in an argument and can let my anger take control which can turn some people away.
Neuroticism:
I feel that I am in the middle for neuroticism, because I can sometimes let my emotions get to me (as I am a pretty emotional and sensitive person), but overall I believe I have a good/average emotional state and mindset.

I am also very adventurous. As much as I enjoy sitting home and relaxing, I get anxious to do something adventurous whenever I can. Whether it is parasailing, jet skiing, or swimming in a waterfall, I am always down for a challenge. It plays into my personality because

I feel that a big part of my personality is my sense of humor. I use it to cope with difficult things, make other people smile/laugh, make others' day, or even to make myself laugh. I also use it to connect better with my brothers; it is a trait that my brothers and I share that allows us to become so close.

Me being very caring and emotional puts me on the love and belonging level, because I am sensitive enough to not be at self-esteem but loving enough to be on the love and belonging level. I have my friends and family their for me and to care for me as well as me being able to care for them.

Trait Inventory:
Highest scoring- Dominance and Belonging
I believe that the test results are accurate because these are two very prominent and important things to me that will make me feel my best.

Locus of Control:
My score came out intermediate, and I also believe this is accurate because while at some moments I feel like I have control over the basic aspects of my life, numerous times I feel as though the world chooses my path and that in a bigger scheme of things I do not have my life together/controlled.

I have always been a caring and emotional person no matter what, but these traits have been specifically strengthened because the childhood experiences I went through and my unconscious. My parents got divorced when I was in 2nd grade, and ever since then my brothers and I have had to switch off every couple of days back and forth from their separate houses. My dad also got remarried to my new stepmom, Susi. Unconsciously, I feel this has forced me to become even more caring and latch on to those around me because of the fear in the back of my head that anything could fall apart at any moment. It has also unconsciously strengthened my emotions, making me more sensitive to things in general because of the emotions that I suffered and the mental strain when I was so young.

I am an intelligent individual and it is shown through my goods grades and awards/programs. For example, I was accepted into the National Honors Society here at East, which consists of the school's "best" students who posses both academic and selfless traits and are all around good people. I was also awarded with the Seal of Bi-literacy after taking 4 years of Spanish.
