Psychobiography of Bob Marley
The person that I have chosen to analyze was Bob Marley and the class is personality and individual differences.
the questions for the first paper are:
Q1 Go back to Erikson’s developmental stages. What evidence can you find of the person passing through the stages – especially the later stages for adulthood. Is there evidence from their behavior, personality, attitudes, etc that they might be ‘stuck’ at any particular stage?
Q2 Try answering Cattell’s 16PF questionnaire again as if you were the person. What results do you get? Do the results relate to anything you know about their personality, attitudes, behavior?

Were there many questions that you had no idea about the possible answer? Does that suggest areas about the person that you need to research for the project?
Q3 Try answering Eysenck’s ENP questionnaire again as if you were the person. What results do you get? Do the results relate to anything you know about their personality, attitudes, behavior?

Q4 Catell, in particular, looked at how his PF16 traits can change over time due to particular experiences, situations etc. (See p.214-215 in the book). To what extent does your person seem to have stable personality traits or traits that change over time? Which ones?
Q5 Look back at Maslow’s hierarchy of needs pyramid. What evidence can you find to show if the person has successfully completed the different levels in the hierarchy? Are there incidents, stories, evidence showing that this person experienced problems with any of the levels?
Q6 What evidence is there that your person has deliberately chosen – in the way that Kelly talks about (p.280 in the book) – to become the person they are, particularly their career choice and career progress? What deliberate changes have they made to their personality, behavior, attitudes to do this?
