Chapter 1 of your text describes two different ways of looking at personality: no two individuals are the same, yet we are subject to "human nature" and have what are called "universal personality traits." In your opinion, which prevails: the universal or the unique traits? Are most people more similar than dissimilar? Why do you think so? Write a brief essay in which you argue one side of this debate, using personal experiences as well as examples from your textbook.

Now that you have read Chapter 1, which describes six domains of knowledge about personality psychology (biological, intrapsychic, dispositional, cognitive-experiential, social-cultural, and adjustment), write a brief essay about the domain that YOU believe to be the most successful--the most comprehensive--in answering the fundamental questions raised by personality psychology. Explain why you would choose this specific domain over the other five, and support your choice with examples from your textbook.
