MBTI and ME

As the semester moves on, the busier that all the peer mentors and I seem to get. Although we are getting busier we need to really maintain focus on our students and MBTI I believe was a good break and focus for me. It was nice not have to worry too much about get a lesson plan together for MBTI (Thanks Debra) and it was also really cool to be able and sit back and see how all my students react to the MBTI activities. It is good to know about how students in a class act to different activities, so Zach and I know how to make lesson plans around most types of MBTI.

I am a ESTJ, one thing I think is interesting is in our reports with the facet preferences the separating of each letter into five sub categories. For example, I am an “E” but at times I sit back and listen like an “I” and looking at my facet results I am midzone “I” for receiving and contained. Receiving says I am willing to introduce people that have not been introduce and I know that I introduce people all the time because I feel weird when I don’t get introduced but yet I am willing to initiate conversation in social situation with people I already know. Which I find to be very true because if I don’t know a whole bunch of people around me I am quieter than I would be around a bunch of my friends. I could go on and on about the interesting differences I found in my facet preferences but I don’t want to bore you. Lets just say I really enjoy reading our reports with facet results included.
