Digital Agenda January 14: New Groups, and Personality Testing

Standard:

WG2.1 Is aware of roles within a group and their various functions.

Objective:

1. Students will argue whether they agree, or disagree with their results of a personality test using evidence that they interpret from their percentage results, and description of their personality type by writing a CERL paragraph.

2. Students will compare and contrast their personality types with their group members to establish how to work with each other's "types"

1. Sit in your New Seat

2. Take the Myers-Briggs Personality Test*, and see which of the 16 personality types you are. Read the description of your personality type, and decide whether you agree or disagree with your results

3. Write down the personality type the test generated.

4. When you get your results, click on "Start Reading" to read the description

*Note: If you disagree with your results, know that your personalities are still forming and changing, so this test, while usually accurate, does not define who you are as a person, or who you will become. Some of you may experience results that do not match your personality, and that is ok! Try taking the test again, in a few months, years etc and see how your personality has changed!

Ms. Garrett's Personality Type Results:

3. Summarize your results, then share your personality type with the people at your table. 

- Do you agree with their results? Why or why not?

- What are some similarities you have with each group member?

- What are some differences you have with each group member?

- How can your similarities help you work together as a group (i.e, which roles would your personality type be good for?)?

- What are some potential problems that could occur due to your different personalities?
