Abstract
In an attempt to increase students' awareness of their own implicit theories of personality, students in a Psychology of Personality course were asked to complete an 18-item questionnaire dealing with various issues in personality. The instructor completed the questionnaire four times, each time taking the role of a prototypical figure in personality theory (Skinner, Freud, Rogers, and Glasser). Student responses were compared to the prototypes as a vehicle for discussing the class's perspective on issues discussed in the course.
