Comparison and Contrast of personalities are a challenge, but can be an opportunity to get to know any individual better. I was given the opportunity to interview an individual of my choice, who is close to my age and gives comfort level. I chose to interview a relative, six years my senior but is a companion, a friend and, we have spent much time together.

My interviewee is a divorced female, 59 years of age mother of two adult children and two granddaughters. Her name is Frances Hicks. She is well educated and was employed for the Federal government for 25 years. Her professional was a secretary to the judge and in her later years became a data entry consultant. .She is presently retired but does consulting and charitable work for many organizations. .

The interviewer and the interviewee believe that seeing the behavior being performed gives a more vivid picture than reading. I believe that I do not also remember everything I read or may not comprehend it in the same manner, whereas she believes that reading helps her to form her own description of how the behavior is truly unfolding.

The interviewer and interviewee have similar feelings, I have found it easier to study in a library where it is quiet and peaceful, but my feelings are so much more comfortable at home with the background noises and some distractions. Home is preference for both of us with the presence of family. This environment creates less worry about what is happening at home when not there. She has the same feelings about studying at home but believes that there is always the option to get up and move around and soak into the studying without being distracting to others.

Frances has taken the Myers Briggs test many years ago early in her working career. She
