Give an example each of evocative and active genetic/environment forces and how they have shaped the person you are. Then give an example of either an optimum or poor person-environment fit that you have experienced this semester. Answers will vary. Evocative influences, however, will relate to how personality traits shyness, happiness, kindness, and so forth naturally affect how other people relate to that student. In describing active forces, students should talk about talents and interests that propelled them to actively select environments where they learned to improve at that skill, such as, I was good at sports, so I've been playing soccer since the age of 3. Person/environment fit: I'm terrible at math, so when I had to take statistics, I failed... I really 'get' psychology, so I'm getting all A's in my psych classes ... I'm not a morning person, so why did I take all 8 AM classes?
