Here is where you can go to take this personality test. In the process of this test I had to really think about what the question was asking of me. Many of the questions were cut/dry or black/white answers. There were a few that were thinking questions. After taking the personality test I was not surprised with the outcome. This activity had me matched up with the code ESFJ. The results were interesting due to the only difference was that of one letter, the letter F. This is where I had some internal debate of decision making. With the reading I chose T for thinking where as taking this personality test it came back F for feeling. I was unsure of exactly where I fell and to be honest I still feel as if I am in the middle of the two. This personality test has me being very expressed extravert = 100%, moderately expressed sensing personality = 25%, moderately expressed feeling personality = 50%, and moderately expressed judging personality = 56%. I thought it was crazy that this had me at being 100% extravert. I do feel as if this is me! I am outgoing, love to talk to people, and enjoy being around people. I am not one to be by myself. I am active and in constant action. I do enjoy talking out loud about problems and to hear what other have to say about them.
I think it is important to understand what these outcomes mean. I feel as if my strengths are what pushes me to be the best teacher that I can be. If I have a problem I ask for help in which I encourage my students to do the same. I encourage classroom discussion and movement within the classroom. I like for them to solve problems by talking it out and using common reasoning to do so. I do however feel like I neglect the quiet or shy students. I assume that all students would like to be social and talkative but I know that not all feel that comfortable. I also need to take into consideration the students who are extremely soft-hearted and who could get their feelings hurt easily. I am too abrasive and possibly aggressive in conducting myself where I need to maybe bring out my softer side more. I think with a group of teachers or even principles this would be a great tool for them to really put themselves in check. I think that all teachers need to do this and possibly conduct it within their own classrooms. I feel this would be a great tool for collaborative settings as well. This will allow others to see their ways and methods and that just because someone else's ways are different that does not make them wrong. Where one teacher may struggle in an area the other teacher may be able to compensate. I also think of my husband and myself. He is my balance and my check. He knows how to calm me down and make sense of things. Where if it was anyone else I would not listen to them. Not only could this be a good tool for the classroom but life as well.
With all the given information above I feel as if this would best match with Standard #5: Professional Growth and Leadership. This tool would only help in the improvement of teachers instruction. This is something that would be a lifelong activity to see if growth or change is actually made. This activity would demonstrate a digital tool and its effectiveness on educators, students, and administration. The biggest idea of this is self-renewal and reflection. How many times do we say how can me make this stick....How can we be better educators? I feel this is the first step. One of the hardest things to do is to accept our weaknesses but in turn the results are our strengths. This will help promote educator growth and student academic success.
