My prediction was correct. After reading the selected material, I predicted my personality type to be ESFJ. After completing the personality test, I found my personality type to be ESFJ. This assignment was extremely fun and informational. My test results indicated that my strength is in the Sensing area. I can see that in myself. I like to focus on basic information that I take it. I have never been one to interpret and add my own meaning. I rely a lot on life experience.
One interesting aspect of the test results were career choices that might be a good option for my personality type. Lately, I have been questioning my decision to become a teacher. My first choice was always nursing. As long as I can remember. However, I wanted to be a good mother (first) and available for my children whenever I was needed. I decided on teaching so I could have their schedule; be at school when they were and be home when they were). I completed my teaching degree in 2007 and have been teaching for 4 years. I am finding that I ALWAYS have to bring my work home in many ways (planning, grading, preparing, and the thoughts of students that I would like to bring home due to their situations). It is brutal. I am missing more now with my kids than I ever have. I also realized that my children are growing up. I have a Sophomore in college and Junior in high school. When they are gone, I wonder if I'll regret my decision of giving up my life-long dream of nursing.
Well, anyway, nursing was one of the careers recommended for my personality type.
The ISTE NETS T standard that relates to this assignment is number five. What better way to grow as a professional than to learn more about myself.
