Do Now "Now that you have completed two different personality surveys and have seen the results, how accurate do you think they are? Do you think that surveys like this can give you more insight into your personality, or do you think they're completely made up and not based on fact at all? (You are allowed to be somewhere in the middle.) Decide where you stand on this matter, then give at least three valid reasons to support your argument. ("I think these surveys are valid because they tap into a deeper part of your psyche than you usually address" is a valid point; "Because I said so" is not.) Be sure to start your essay with a paragraph that includes an intro to the topic, and finish it up with a closing paragraph that wraps things up."
