When I was on Semester at Sea many years ago, I had the students talk about which types of personality traits could be observed in terms of public behavior. We created some observation data sheets and did observations in 3 different countries. Students wrote papers explaining what predictions they would have about country differences in personality.

I have sort of decided on one per class but like the personality development one the least. What's hard is that we just can't count on communicating with people. Right now I'm thinking of doing something with the Big-5 but it will require that students find people at the various ports of call who can read English. I have found that the IPIP website, which is sufficient for my purposes, has a wealth of languages to which the Big-5 has been translated but the big plan is to have people who are bilingual complete the questionnaire in each language; there is some literature that people come out a bit different depending on the language they are completing it in. So I'm still open to ideas for something in personality development that would be completely nonverbal or noninteractive. I wonder if there's a Big 5 questionnaire in pictograms?
