Personality Post 2

The previous guess I made at determining my personality was pretty close. I retook the MBTI test and came out as an INFJ again. The description is as close to me as any psychologist could come after studying me for years, and this test matches it within 72 short yes or no questions. It's pretty amazing.

I am glad that the career matches suggest becoming an educator more than once. I really feel that becoming a teacher is just part of me and who I am. Knowing my strengths and my true personality better, it helps me to understand just why I am drawn to teaching. Also, it helps me to put better use to my strengths knowing that they are in fact part of who I am. Also, it helps me to realize who I am not so that I do not try to incorporate things that I would feel uncomfortable with into my life and classroom.

I would like to include the links to the two personality type descriptions for INFJ's: Kiersey's Idealist Portairt of the Counselor and J. Butt and M.M. Heiss's INFJ Type Description. This activity relates to the ISTE NETS T Standard 2c: 2. Design and Develop Digital Age Learning Experiences and Assessments Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS·S. c. Customize and personalize learning activities to address students’ diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources This goal is accomplished by providing us with online tools to assess our individual learning styles and allowing us to reflect on how personality styles effect our learning and working styles.
