Choose a well-known figure, whether real or fictional, who has served as a source of inspiration for you. This could be a globally recognized scientist, a revered spiritual leader, an esteemed political figure, a successful entrepreneur, a beloved fictional character or a prominent celebrity.

Once you have decided on the figure, please confirm your choice with the module convenor (Dr. Anthony Beh) by 1st March 2024 at the latest.

Your task is to write a 2000-word reflective report that addresses the following points:

A brief background on the figure you have selected (recommended 100-200 words)

Using ONE of the personality approaches covered in the PSGA1009 Spring semester, provide your analysis on the figure’s personality. This could mean exploring the development of their personality, and/or an in-depth characterization of their personality.

To supplement your analysis, here are some suggestions for topics to focus on, but you may expand beyond these selections:

• Experiences in school/work environments
• Religious belief
• Parenting style (from the child’s perspective)
• Quality of relationships
• Significant life events (achievements, hardships, abuse, trauma)

After your analysis, consider and reflect on how the selected figure has influenced or inspired your own personality development.
