As I suspected the Keirsey personality test revealed that I am a Guardian. This is not surprising to me at all. Of the four personality temperaments (Guardian, Idealist, Rational, and Artisan) I relate most to Guardian. I am not a thinker (Rational) or a creative person (Artisan). I do have some Idealistic traits but am mostly a "walk the line kind of person" (Guardian).
As I said in my previous post I take my duties and responsibilities very serious. I think its important to keep things running smoothly both at home and at work. I take being a dependable, responsible and honest individual very seriously. I am meticulous about keeping schedules and want things to be planned and situated. I believe firmly that there is a right and wrong way to things and that often this is being lost in our society. I am also very practical and disciplined. Obviously I am very much a guardian. I know that often when i have take the True Colors test I previously spoke of I am usually gold.
I think that being aware of your own personality traits can help you to be aware of your strengths and weaknesses and be more aware of how others perceive you. Many times in our lives we have all felt that we were saying something a certain way when in reality it may have not come out the way we thought. This is something that for the most part can be avoided when you are in touch with yourself and your personality.
I think that using this type of activity in a classroom will help you identify their personalities and in some ways help to get at the root of what makes them tick. This can help you to adjust your lessons and materials to better fit them. It could also help in grouping students to make sure the students will work well together.
