Abena Korkor’s personality has become the subject of a quiz at the Ghana Institute of Journalism and she has shared a screenshot of the question along with her epic reaction in a fresh post uploaded on her Instagram platform.
The former Girls Circle host on TV3 who’s presently on a crusade to put draw attention to mental health, beamed with enthusiasm and expressed happiness that her experience, albeit controversial is being used positively and probably designed toward a radical change in the society.
The question was culled from a recent interview she had on Adom FM which sprouted out of her many controversies whereby she spontaneously mentions names of high-profile men who have gone between her legs anytime she has a relapse.
The students on the question 4 part of the quiz were asked to identify and discuss the therapeutic technique being employed by the therapist who was consulted by Korkor during the height of her bipolar disorder.
Here’s how the question was projected;
“CANDIDATE ID NUMBER: SIGNATURE: ANSWER ANY TWO QUESTIONS IN THE ANSWER BOOKLET. ALL QUESTIONS CARRY EOUAL MARKS.
1. The psychoanalytic approach will always provide a limited explanation of human personality. Critically evaluate this statement.
2. How does Cattell’s concept of personality traits differ from Allport’s view of traits?
3. The personality of every individual within the society develops and functions in constant association with its culture. Discuss. 4. Recently Ghana’s popular social media influencer and mental health ambassador, Abena Korkor, said mentioning names of men she had had sexual encounter with formed part of her healing process.
Listen to her: “According to her, in one of her therapeutic sessions, her therapist asked her to mention names so she could be free. I didn ‘t want to mention some names and the therapist said Ijeel trapped so I should mention the names and feel free.
She told Adom FM ‘s Drive Time Show, ‘Ofie Kwanso” (Source: https://www.adomonline.com/my-therapist-asked-me-to-mention- names-to-free-my-mind-abena-korkor-video/).
