Personality results

So I true to my predictions, I ended up being a Guardian. But, like with every test of this nature I have taken, I struggle with answers because I really could go either way. Which is why most of the time I can be confused and a poor decision maker. Usually with simple things like what to wear or eat. I would like to stick to my guns more, but I can be easily swayed by a sad story. I want to please everyone sometimes. Upon further reading of the Guardian types, I most identify with the Guardian-Provider. This description sounds the most like me, although I don't usually converse with people in the checkout line. I also like being alone, but I guess not everything can be a perfect assessment.

I think this associating with this type is ideal for being a teacher due to the nature of being interested in the well-being of others, a natural leader and a team-player. Guardian-Providers are naturally gregarious, which lends its self to easy communication in front of a classroom. I love telling others about things, whether it be jokes or lessons. ESFJs are also concerned for the welfare of others, which by nature is ideal for a teacher because we should all be concerned about the people whom we instruct. ESFJs are also team players and cooperative, which is beneficial because learning is not just a one-person game. I expect to learn as much from my students as they can from me. Learning is a two-way street in my classroom, with open communication and opinions.

The four personality types are:
Guardian, Idealist, Artisan, Rational.

Its about knowing yourself and your best way to function as both a learner and a teacher. As I stated in the first personality blog post, I have had experience with students finding out their learning preferences and using that to their best advantage. If you are a visual learner and don't know it, you can be your own worst enemy studying for a class that is solely text-based. The more you learn about yourself, the more open you can be to how other types of people learn and how you can reach them. But, like I also stated earlier, don't judge your students on how you might think they perform or can be categorized. As a person in the arts, I am extremely analytical, very much unlike the conceptual, care-free person that people might want to pigeon-hole me as. The more you learn about yourself, the more you can spot characteristics in others you may not have the time or resources to test. Be open minded, small adjustments can reach other learning types and know yourself.
