After participating in the personality test, my results came out to be ISTP. This means according to this test that my personality type is Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, and Perceiving. For the most part this is an accurate result, after the translation of my particular personality i come out to be a in close correlation to a mechanics personality.
I would have to agree 100% that students do have different learning styles due to their personality types. I personally, do not enjoy working in groups, I prefer working alone so i can go at my own pace and leisure. Keeping in mind also other people may excel when placed in a large groups, because of their need for being social.
Yes, I feel that if I was to know my future students personality type it would help out tremendously. If I was to give this test to my class, and the outcome was all extroverted students, I would assign more group assignments than to a class full of introverted students. Any tool that can help me know my students on a more personal basis such as this one could only benefit my efforts in teaching them.

ReplyDeleteHi Alex,
ReplyDeleteGood post!
I am an introvert as well. I don't know how I become a teacher because I don't like to talk in front of people. :)
Thanks for sharing!
