How did your personality affect your choice of content area?
I love ambiguity and probably trend away from logic. This tendency definitely works well for understanding literature. I love the artistic part of the written word. I detest learning to write by formula. I love that there are no right answers when analyzing a piece of literature or writing an essay. All of this feeds right into my personality type. I like novelty and innovation - facets of great writing.
How does or will your personality affect your relationships with your students?
I tend to be an extrovert. I think the older I get the more extroverted I become as I worry less about what people think about me and learn more about others. This tendency made me interested in working with people. I love to get to know my students and understand them better.
How will your teaching and learning style affect your teaching and your students' abilities to be successful?
I definitely tended toward active and intuitive learning with more balanced results in the other categories. I need to make sure and consciously be more organized and methodical for my "sensing" students as this is very foreign to me. I also feel that I need to add more time for reflection into my classes. This has been a complaint from my students who are less active learners. I don't tend to utilize this time well, so I can interpret it as a waste, but this test made me realize how important it is to others - and, of course, many of my students.
