Assessing Learners

Abstract

The personality of individuals is a fascinating subject — people talk about it all the time, although without some of the scientific precision, which psychologists seek to impose on their work. People talk about each other and use terms such as reliable, delightful, outgoing, anxious, curious, all terms which psychologists recognize but they tend to use more particular phraseology: conscientious, agreeable, extravert, neurotic, openness.
