broad topic that that almost didn’t do
broad topic that that almost didn’t do for this class I needed to find a way to
for this class I needed to find a way to
for this class I needed to find a way to refine this topic now there are many
refine this topic now there are many
refine this topic now there are many different fields of psychology you have
different fields of psychology you have
different fields of psychology you have forensic psychology of educational
forensic psychology of educational
forensic psychology of educational there’s there’s so many fields I could

actually made a difference until I came
actually made a difference until I came upon medical psychology now medical

upon medical psychology now medical psychology deals largely with something
psychology deals largely with something
psychology deals largely with something called the placebo effect which I’ll get
called the placebo effect which I’ll get
called the placebo effect which I’ll get into much later but for right now I’m
into much later but for right now I’m
into much later but for right now I’m going to talk about the project itself
going to talk about the project itself
going to talk about the project itself and how I got to the conclusions I have
and how I got to the conclusions I have
and how I got to the conclusions I have today so the first part of this project
today so the first part of this project
today so the first part of this project was finding something that I can
was finding something that I can
was finding something that I can categorize people with if that makes any
categorize people with if that makes any
categorize people with if that makes any sort of sense I’ll explain it I couldn’t
sort of sense I’ll explain it I couldn’t
sort of sense I’ll explain it I couldn’t find a way to categorize people on a
find a way to categorize people on a
find a way to categorize people on a psychological level initially because in
psychological level initially because in

order to find
order to find a correlation with medical psychology I
a correlation with medical psychology I
a correlation with medical psychology I was focusing on I need to find a way
was focusing on I need to find a way
was focusing on I need to find a way just to group people so I came upon this
just to group people so I came upon this
just to group people so I came upon this the Briggs Myers personality index now

of psychology so out of nowhere the idea of color came aloud so with
the idea of color came aloud so with
the idea of color came aloud so with this idea of color I needed to find a
this idea of color I needed to find a
this idea of color I needed to find a way to correlate it back to the

during this research I had to give out a
during this research I had to give out a surveys roughly three hundred ten high
surveys roughly three hundred ten high
surveys roughly three hundred ten high school students give or take and what
school students give or take and what
school students give or take and what this tested was their personality type
this tested was their personality type
this tested was their personality type along with the idea of their favorite
along with the idea of their favorite

color so for the specific survey what I
color so for the specific survey what I decided to go with was the first letter
decided to go with was the first letter
decided to go with was the first letter in the sequence for me it’s the e but
in the sequence for me it’s the e but
in the sequence for me it’s the e but could also be an i what these letters
could also be an i what these letters
could also be an i what these letters means the e stands for extraversion so
