• Which three subfields in psychology that most interest you?
• What personal characteristics (knowledge, skills, abilities) do you possess that might make these areas a good fit for you?
• Which three subfields interest you the least?
• If you were challenged with creating a new subfield, what would be the name of your subfield and what would it consist of?
Guided Response:

Comment on the new subfield they proposed and provide at least one practical problem that might be solved as a result of work done in their proposed subfield.
