A person's "locus" (Latin for "place" or
"location") is either internal (the person believes they can control
their life) or external (meaning they believe that their decisions and life are
controlled by environmental factors which they cannot influence).
If you believe that your world is in your complete control,
then draw an X completely inside your human figure graphic above. If you
believe your world is not in any way under your control and everything is
outside of your control, then draw an X completely outside the graphic box. If
you believe your world is something in-between, then draw an X inside the
graphic box and as close or far away from your human graphic self as necessary.
Now explain where you placed your locus and why?
Can you apply this concept to something in your daily
everyday life? Your grades, your relationship to your best friend? Your
appearance.
