BRAIN STORM TIME!!!

Bieber or Beaver

* It rhymes….and

it make sense as

the same

country...

• It includes the characteristics & behaviours that make us unique!

• Each of us share a different personality character.

• When listening Justin Bieber’s “Baby”, some people will feel irritated, while some people (Beliebers) will feel excited & hyper.

• As humans have various degrees of personality, they are classified into big categories called traits.

• (Tendencies to behave in a certain way in various situations)
