In this Personality Development course you will learn in-depth information about personalities. You will gain a better understanding about those around you and also more about who you are and how you got to be that way.

This course starts with a basic introduction of personality. It then goes on to look at theories of personality development, the stages of development theories, key researchers in personality psychology, and the main influences on personality development. You will also delve into looking at basic personality traits, including values, beliefs, and nature versus nurture. You will learn about your own personality and how you can use that information in career choices and to make changes.

"I am very interested in this topic, so all of it was a great experience and I found very helpful to learn." -- Coleen K.
"I found the instructor to grade the lessons quickly and gave positive feedback, which really mattered to me. I liked the breakdown of the famous psychologists and how they impacted psychology. For instance, Erik Erickson's theory I found both helpful and fascinating. I could identify with very stages of life and saw how this stage (66) is quite normal how I'm viewing my life." -- Marilyn W.
