Personality Profile #2

After completing the  Keirsey Temperament Sorter, I learned that my prognostication was correct. I am a guardian, and the website would not let me view any other styles that I may have scored high on without buying the full report. Knowledge of my personality type can definitely help me to better lead a class of students, a group of teachers, or a cadre of principals, as I can accentuate the positive aspects of being a guardian and possibly work on developing other characteristics that are helpful to possess in the field of education. Due to guardians be dependable and responsible, they probably make excellent leaders in the classroom. Their students and co-workers know that they can depend on the guardian to do their job and provide assistance with a problem or crisis. Guardians are also cautious and do not make decisions in a rash manner, which could also be helpful when dealing with students that have behavioral or emotional problems. The ISTE NETS T standards that relate to the Personality Profile activities are: 1.c. and 2.b. By having students complete this type of activity teachers are able to promote student reflection (their personality types in this case) using tools to reveal  and clarify students' conceptual understanding, planning (by determining the attributes that they can work on), and creative processing (by accentuating their positive attributes). By using these types of surveys, teachers can develop technology enriched learning environments that enable students to pursue their own curiosities (such as their personality type) and become active participants in setting their own educational goals and manage their learning by determining their strengths and weaknesses.
