Before class on Monday January 25, I was not aware of the Myers-Briggs questionnaire. The Myers-Briggs is like a personality test with an outcome of sixteen different personality types. This test is based on four pairs of interactive factors: Extravert/Introvert, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, Judgment/Perception. After the presentation by Brandon and Desiree, and taking the Insight Game, I now am aware that I am an ISFP. ISFP’s are quiet, practical, sensitive, and spontaneous. I feel that the description of an ISFP fits my personality perfectly. I am a very shy and retiring person. In class before taking the Insight Game I noticed myself being drawn to all these sides, and after taking the Insight Game, sure enough I am ISFP. Though the Insight Game is not the same as the full-length Myers-Briggs questionnaire, I believe results are very similar. The game allows you to flip through cards, and for you to pick the best one that represents your styles, and ideas. I feel a lot more aware of how different everyone is. No two people are the same. We are all like puzzle pieces unique in our different ways, yet compatible with each other, and when we all come together, is when we can create a beautiful masterpiece!
You'll hear a lot more about Myers-Briggs as you pursue teaching. It's an interesting way to examine the dynamics of a class and/or group.
