Permission of interviewee for the interview

The person that I am going to interview about his personality and life experiences name is Charles Imafidon. He is a 27 year old male, and his parents are from Africa but he was born and raised in America. Charles works with people that have learning disabilities, and his position in this company is called a Behavioral Specialist. He is a participant in a rap group, but to better the glory of God and considers himself to be a Christian rapper. Charles just recently relocated to Rhode Island from Massachusetts and if very much close to his parents.

1. What type of personality traits do you have?

2. How would you describe your character?

3. How would you describe the environment you grew up in? (Ex. Family, friends, neighborhood)

4. What would you say are your defensive mechanisms?

5. What are some barriers that you would like to overcome within your personality?

6. What type of lifestyle do you live?

7. How do you think gender, race, and ethnicity have affected your behavior?

8. After answering these questions would you change your personality and lifestyle? How would you begin this process?

9. Would having someone looking up to you as a role model make your decisions easier or more difficult to overcome these changes?

I asked Charles about the interview when the course started, and he agreed. The date that we both agreed due to our schedules was for the 20th of October, and I chose the date to be as close to the due date of the final, but not to close, so that the information would be fresh to me and the paper would be easier for me to get through.
