This module was extremely interesting. I have participated in a few of the personality assessments discussed in the module and find that there are some consistencies that ring true for me. Jung- I assessed as an ENTJ.
While the pure Jung followers would argue that once and ENTJ, always an ENTJ. I have found that my personality traits do adapt to the situation at hand. The old saying...."know your audience". After years of feeling like a bull in a china store, I have learned that gaining awareness and understanding of one's primary personality characteristics allows for adaptation to the situation at hand. For example....
I tend towards being an extravert. The common notion is that the more of an extravert someone is, the more of a social butterfly they are. People tend to expect that extraverts are chatty, sociable and draw energy from crowds. They tend to be assertive and cheerful in their social interactions. Well, that may be true, such energy is not always palatable to others. Especially those who may see themselves as introverted.
Introverted people tend to enjoy more alone time. They just prefer solo or small-group activities. So when managing a classroom environment we must first know ourselves and then strive to know our students. We need to create a balance within the learning environment so as to reach all students.
That was my take away.
