·         Does the interviewee prefer studying in a library, or at home where there are background noises and some distractions?

·         Has the person you are interviewing taken the Myers Briggs test? Report the results.

·         Does the interviewee think these results are accurate? Why or why not?

·         Which experiences does this person think contributed most in the development of his or her personality?

·         Does this person feel that he or she is self-monitoring in regards to his or her attitudes? How or how not?

·         What does the interviewee feel was the strongest influence on his or her attitudes?

·         What role does your interviewee think a person’s race, gender, or ethnicity play when forming that person’s personality and attitudes?

·         Does this person feel he or she is better at tasks when intrinsically motivated or extrinsically motivated?
