By taking the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), we all learned how we prefer to get through our day and how to apply these preferences to succeed in the classroom. People could have been described as one of the sixteen types. For instance, some people found that they possessed the characteristics most common with the type ENTJ, while others found that they shared characteristics with the ISFP type. Although I could have been labeled any of the sixteen types, I shared copious characteristics with the ESTP type; consequently, I now know what strategies I should take to succeed in the classroom and reach my numerous goals.
Since I prefer extraversion and sensing over introversion and Intuition, I possess many different characteristics and preferences. First of all, I am more concerned with the outer world than the inner world, I concentrate more on people than I do Ideas, and I prefer making confident mistakes instead of thinking before acting. Furthermore, I prefer gaining motivation from my environment instead of from within myself, I prefer to observe with my five senses instead of with my memory, and I focus more on the given moment than future possibilities. Lastly, I concentrate more on factual details, then seeing the "big picture," I pay more attention to realities then possibilities, and prefer completing task step-by-step and not just pulling ideas out of my head of how to complete it.
Due to the fact that I prefer thinking and perceiving, I possess many different characteristics and preferences than someone who prefers feeling and judging. First of all, I am more skeptical about who and what to believe and tend not to trust everyone and everything, firm-minded, prefer logic order, and always investigate with logic and reason. In addition, I consider the cause and effect of certain actions, adapt to change, curious and interested in aspects I don't know about and open-minded to new ideas. Furthermore, I defy conclusion until I acquire complete facts instead of desiring conclusions when incomplete facts are still present. Lastly, when I identify, I use sensing and instinct instead of thinking and judging.
Because I completed the MBTI and learned about what type I am considered, I can use these findings to my advantage in completing several of my goals. For example, since I know that I look for efficient ways of completing a task, I will strive to find efficient ways to practice and study to reach my goal of making Dean's List every semester and completing my Bachelor's Degree. Furthermore, by using my skill of pursuing useful skills, I will strive to find beneficial playing, studying, and teaching techniques that will be valuable to my academic and career goals. Additionally, people who are classified as ESTP are notorious to be adventurers. This characteristic will help me reach my goal of visiting London, Wyoming, California, Norway, and trying copious new things. Furthermore, due to the fact that we are also known for being great troubleshooters, I will find and fix problems in my teaching, practicing, and studying, so I will reach all of my academic and career goals. Lastly, because ESTPs find fun in their work and spark others to have fun, I will to teach my students in a fun and exciting way to get them enthused about music and reach my goal of inspiring a student.
