ISTJ

I took a personality test for one of my assignments. Here are the results. They're probably no big surprise to anyone who knows me.

The Jung personality test classified me as ISTJ (Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, Judging). This result is consistent with personality tests I've taken before. I am very traditional in my outlook and my preferences. I believe that function is more important than form. I believe that performance should measure up to certain standards, and that those standards should be well-defined. I belive in being on time, and it bothers me when I'm late to an appointment.

I also tend to be judgmental. I sometimes have difficulty empathizing with people's problems—especially if I see those problems as being of their own making. I have to make it a point to listen to what people are saying sometimes rather than jumping to a quick conclusion. I struggle with being patient with other people's struggles.

As an educator, I feel my strengths will be my mastery of content, my professionalism, and my attention to detail. But I will need to work to establish meaningful relationships with students, especially those who struggle academically and those I feel aren't taking their education seriously. I will need to reach out to these students to help them get the most out of their educational experience.
