Focus Questions: Personality pp.409-430

Notes: I believe the best way to answer these questions is to use the Cornell note-taking structure. This provides you with a great studying tool.
I've also restructured this assignment by including before and after reading questions (the during reading questions are the focus questions). This will help you recall previously learned information and "test" yourself on new concept recall. Do not use the book or any resources for the before and after reading questions until you have first tried answering them without any help.
