My Personality Test Results

I did both tests, mainly because I always feel like the questions are flawed and too rigid to accurately indicate a real personality response.  I believed the Kisa test to be more accurate in my opinion.  

MMDI indicated that I am a go with the flow type personality. I did not really agree with this as I know I prefer structure. I believe my personality of introversion and fact appreciation is very helpful to my career choice of History instructor.  I left the idea of teaching to work in law for many years and it felt like a duck to water type fit.  Now that I am back to teaching I feel like the compassion and ideals that I have learned from my children has assisted me in further developing my skill set as an instructor.

I am a rather introverted person, and my relationships with students tends to be that of willing facilitator and helpful assistant.  I want to engage my students beyond my own content area and regularly make sure that I am aware of projects that they may be working on in another content area so that I may address those same concepts from my content area perspective.  I believe this provides them with multiple modalities and resource scenarios. Students often come to me to assist the with writing or large projects because I can break down the concepts and guide them through the process.

I am very aware of various learning styles.  I submitted a personal question and response form to each student asking their name, nick name, favorite drink, favorite subject, learning style and what 5 items they could not live without on a deserted island as a means of getting to know them on a more personal level. Many of them provided very helpful responses so that I could assist them with their personal learning style and assessment approaches.

Here are the results from the Kisa test:

Personality is: ISTJ- Introverted 68%, Sensing 55%, Thinking 80%, Judging 77%, Extroverted 32%, Intuitive 45%, Feeling 20%, and Perceiving 23%.

According to the report I was 68 % ESTP and 66% ISTP

ESTP If your closest personality type is ESTP then you are an action oriented problem solver. You enjoy getting things done, and taking action to solve practical problems. You are in your element when there is a crisis requiring urgent action, which you are able to resolve. If you have any particular skills (e.g. sports, crafts or sales) then you enjoy applying those skills to reach a tangible goal (winning a game, making a sale, or building something tangible).

ISTP If your closest personality type is ISTP then you have both a logical and a practical mind and therefore enjoy solving tangible problems. You are very interested in how things work, and may have a tendency to take things apart if you don't know how they work. You may also enjoy using your craftmanslike skills to fix things that are broken, or doing investigative work, collecting facts and clues to find out the truth of what has happened.
