My Personality

ESTP and ISTP overviews
If your 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).
If your personality type is ISTP then 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.


After reviewing my personality test it is no wonder I love math and science. Looking at the results above I see that I am ESTP "taking action to solve practice problems." Science applies answers to many real world problems and being a problems solver I love to take this knowledge and apply it in my everyday life.  For my students this means I am very fair and direct. I like to set a plan on how they will achieve their learning and make formative assessments to collect data to help them stay on track on a daily basis.  My students know what their grades are at all times.

I also tested into ISTP type where "collecting facts and clues to find out the truth of what has happened."  I do this in my class if I have a lesson that did not go well; I will analyze reasons why and try to make improvements for my next class or the next year.  This can also happen in the middle of class as I am teaching and realize a strategy might not be working.
