6. Personal Identity Wheel
Directions: Fill in your identity for each of the categories listed. In the inner circle, record the identities that are the most important or salient to you. In the outer circle, record the identities that are less important or salient to you.
Personal identities are individual traits that make up who you are, including your hobbies, interests, experiences, and personal choices.
Many personal identities are things that you get to choose and that you are able to shape for yourself.
Personal identities might determine whether or not you have a natural inclination to go in a certain personal direction.

7. Social Identity Wheel
Directions: Fill in your identity for each of the categories listed. In the inner circle, record the identities that are the most important or salient to you. In the outer circle, record the identities that are less important or salient to you.
They are called “social identities” because our society strongly influences how we categorize other people and ourselves based on these identities in significant ways.
Influence the experiences we have as members of any particular group. They are shaped by common history, shared experiences, legal and historical decisions, and day-to-day interactions.
Can affect personal identities. For example, your social class may have a strong impact on the education you receive and the profession that you end up in.
