into 8 segments. In each segment they will write some descriptions of the different
aspects of themselves as follows:

to your mind. Include descriptions of your height, weight, facial appearance,
and quality of skin, hair and descriptions of body areas such as your neck,
chest, waist, legs.
2. Intellectual Self: Include here an assessment of how well you reason and
solve problems, your capacity to learn and create, your general amount of

and insights you have.

have, feelings you seldom have, feelings you try to avoid, feelings you
especially enjoy, feelings from your past and present, and feelings which are
associated with each other.

use most – sight, hearing, speaking, smelling, touching? How do you feel
about the different ways you take in information - through the eyes, ears,
mouth, nose, and skin. In what ways do you let information in and out of your
body?
5. Interactional Self: Include descriptions of your strengths and weaknesses in
intimate relationships and relationships to friends, family, classmates and

sound and seasons and your impact on the environment.
