These are the words you wish you wrote down.

If I didn't know better, I would think that John Madden had a hand in writing my textbook for my Personality Assessment class.

I've spent the holiday immersed in reading homework for my three grad classes this semester. For the most part, it has been very interesting and eye opening. However, I was most anticipating the Personality Assessment course and it is currently disappointing me with the most dry and unreadable subject material of the three classes (the other two being Social Psychology and Developmental Psychology).

Here are a couple of examples of statements I consider to be unnecessary words to fill the page:

"In some circumstances, self-prediction has been found to be more accurate than psychological tests, whereas in others, tests have been found to be more accurate."

Awesome. That's very helpful.

"In some cases, clinical judgment is clearly in error, whereas in others it can be quite accurate."

Great. Did you know that sometimes people are right and other times they're wrong? Blows your mind, doesn't it? Let's see how many times we can say the same things in different ways.
