What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Personality can be measured using several alternatives to self-report measures. Informant reports where parents or teachers provide information about someone can be useful, particularly for those not old enough or self-aware enough to fill out a questionnaire on their own. Clinical interviews can yield information about a personality disorder. Personality can be measured through archival records, or the collection of data on someone's behaviors. Other measures such as archival or life outcomes data, projective tests, and physiological measures can provide information regarding someone's personality as well.

You are the African American president of your student union at a large university. In "response" to a speaker about the history of the Black Power movement, a student organization called the First Amendment Society wants to invite a guest speaker who advocates white supremacy on the same night. The college president claims to understand your position, but tells you that you either need to cancel both speeches or let them both proceed. Use an ethics of care argument to convince the president that the Black Power speech should proceed. Then use a utilitarian argument. Finally convince the president that your argument is not egoistic or relative.
