Discuss the credibility (ethos) of the narrator.  How does the narrator establish ethos?  What are the motives behind the telling of the narrative?  What factors influence how the story is told?  What do we know about the narrator from his discourse?  What might we assume about the narrator? Discuss the relationship between the narrator and the narrative.  How does a narrative voice add to or subtract from the main character’s voice?

Overview

Many people study psychology because they want to understand themselves and others better. Tools have been developed to assess many aspects of personality. For this assessment, you will take an example of a personality test and write a reflection paper.

Context

Personality tests can be used for a variety of reasons including work placement, hiring, diagnosing and assessing, and simply identifying traits and characteristics. There are a variety of ways that we may administer, score, and interpret personality assessments, ranging from pencil and paper and one-on-one interviews to full computer testing. In order for a test to be useful, it needs to be both valid and reliable so that it consistently measures just what it suggests it measures. In this assessment, you may choose to complete a computer personality assessment. As you are completing the test, think about what you feel like and how that could impact the results. This is a fun and engaging way to help you identify your own strengths and obtain a better understanding of how personality theories can be applied to testing.

Instructions

For purposes of this assessment, you may choose to take an online personality test or think about the results of a similar test you have taken in the past, perhaps related to your educational planning or a job. If you choose to try an online test, go to The SAPA Project website (linked in Resources) and complete the personality test. Retrieve your test results.
Reflect on the relationship between the dimensions and traits that we use to describe human personality.
Write a 23-page reflection paper including the following elements:
Explain the difference between validity and reliability in testing. In other words, do you think this test is valid or reliable?
Analyze the self-assessment experience and results.
What was your experience completing the test?
Did you find the test to be engaging? Were you bored? Did you find it challenging?
Did you tell the truth on every question?
Critically analyze the accuracy of the test results.
Do the results accurately portray your personality traits as you expected?
Do you think a person can consciously change a trait? Explain.
What is the relationship between traits and stages of development? In other words, would you expect to have had the same result ten years ago? How about ten years in the future?

Read Daniel 1:1-21:
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. And the Lord delivered Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, along with some of the articles from the temple of God. These he carried off to the temple of his god in Babylonia[a] and put in the treasure house of his god.
Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, chief of his court officials, to bring into the kings service some of the Israelites from the royal family and the nobility young men without any physical defect, handsome, showing aptitude for every kind of learning, well informed, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the kings palace. He was to teach them the language and literature of the Babylonians.  The king assigned them a daily amount of food and wine from the kings table. They were to be trained for three years, and after that they were to enter the kings service.
Among those who were chosen were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. The chief official gave them new names: to Daniel, the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.
But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. 9 Now God had caused the official to show favor and compassion to Daniel, 10 but the official told Daniel, I am afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned your[c] food and drink. Why should he see you looking worse than the other young men your age? The king would then have my head because of you.
Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah,  Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see. So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.
At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead.
To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.
At the end of the time set by the king to bring them into his service, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar. The king talked with them, and he found none equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah; so they entered the kings service. 20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king questioned them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom.
And Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus.
answer the following questions:

(1) What type of research method does Daniel employ?
(2) What are the limitations of this approach?
(3) If you were to design this study, how would change Daniel’s experiment?

You will continue building the research plan you started to develop in Unit I. In a scholarly paper, you will plan your research to answer questions and/or solve problems by addressing the criteria below.

First, you will design a hypothesis of what you believe will happen in terms of observed change if the study proceeds.
Second, you will develop a null hypothesis that shows that nothing will change.
Third, explain how and why your proposed study incorporates ethics.
Finally, how do you expect a standard institutional review board to approve or ask for changes to your research proposal?
Your scholarly activity must be at least two pages in length. It must be supported by the use of at least three sources, one of which must come from the CSU Online Library. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.
+++++++++++
I have attached one source that should be used,  the rubric and the final version of the previous paper submitted. I will use the descriptive method for research

Hypothesis: Modern beauty standards negatively impact the personal beauty ideals amongst men and women of all ages (Relevant variables: modern beauty standards, men and women; Projected outcome: negative impact; Target group: all ages)

Null hypothesis: Modern beauty standards have no impact on the personal beauty ideals amongst men and women of all ages

Some thoughts on how to incorporate ethics:
Will not use fictitious sources
Will use credible sources
Will report the data as presented/researched
Survey data will be anonymous

IRB review accept or ask for changes:
Expected to be approved
Use source provided

write a page summary and reaction; follow the guidelines:
Be sure to write in accurate, complete sentences.
Be sure to include
o an accurate bibliographic entry for the text read
o a statement of the topic addressed
o a description of the area (what category? history, philosophy, geometry, etc.) o a statement of what appealed to you
o a statement about what is clearer to you due to this reading
o anything else you choose to express about the reading

Here is the Intro and work related sections COMPLETED ( see MyPaper attached). Please finish the rest of the sections so it looks like the sample( See PAPER SAMPLE attached as a reference).

In order to do this: You must create a Jupyter Notebook with detailed comments of why you did what you did with each coding block. See Coding Example attached of similar dataset with different research objectives at the links below:

https://github.com/mrinmaisharma/Online-Retail-Dataset/blob/master/script.ipynb

https://github.com/scheckley/online-retail/blob/master/analysis.ipynb

Note: I want mine to be as simple as possible. I want it just enough to fulfill the research paper objective. Hopefully shows choosing the optimal model out of couple of models.

My research topic:

Using transactions data and machine learning model to predict what a customer is going to purchase on their next visit to the store. This is done using point of sale data (sales transactions data) and a machine learning model ( a classifier ).

The data I intend to use for this paper (sales transactions data):

https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Online+Retail+II

Note: It would be better to use real data if you find one (please revise the dataset section in the paper had you decided to do so):

NOTE: See the unfinished paper (attached) . I also want the rest of the sections to look and sound like the (SAMPLE PAPER attached).

Deliverables: MyPaper.doc updated and Juypter Notebook created.

Thank you
