About this course

Understanding Psychology of Personality for your CrestPoint credit.

What is Psychology of Personality?

Psychology of Personality looks at how and why people differ in their patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. It introduces major theories of personality, from Freud and other psychodynamic thinkers to behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, and biological approaches, along with the research methods used to study personality.

How the course teaches you

Psychology of Personality is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, one assignment, and a final exam, with grading set at 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignment, and 50% Final Exam. When you finish and your transcript is sent to CrestPoint University, the course is recognized there as PSY-152 – Psychology of Personality, which is a named course equivalency in CrestPoint’s catalog.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course helps you understand patterns in thinking, feeling, and behavior, which can be useful in workplace communication, case review, and everyday decision-making. At CrestPoint, that learning may fit into degree planning for programs such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies or the Bachelor of Business Administration, where PSY-152 – Psychology of Personality can count as an identified course in the plan.

Skills you walk away with

Taking this course toward CrestPoint

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent to CrestPoint University for review. CrestPoint’s registrar applies the named equivalency PSY-152 – Psychology of Personality, so the credit is recorded as a specific course rather than a general transfer elective. That matters because a named recognition can slot more cleanly into a CrestPoint degree plan, including programs such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies and the Bachelor of Business Administration. Keep in mind that CrestPoint allows up to 72 transfer credits, or 60% of the degree.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit if you are building credits for CrestPoint and want a clearly identified transfer result, since it maps directly to PSY-152 – Psychology of Personality under CrestPoint’s signed articulation agreement. It can also make sense if you are trying to stay within CrestPoint’s 72-credit transfer limit while working toward a degree. It is not the right choice if you need a broad elective with no specific course match at CrestPoint, or if your plan depends on transferring more than the allowed limit.
