Personality 1

After taking the Myers & Briggs personality test, my answers say that I am ENTP.
The definition of ENTP is:


I definitely agree that I am alert, outspoken, good at reading people, and bored by routine. I am definitely not ingenious or good solving challenging problems. I would have to say I am more intrigued by new and challenging problems. Some famous ENTP personalities are Isaac Newton, Aristotle, and Stephen Hawking. I would again say that they absolutely fascinate me with their ways of thinking. The four temperaments are Idealists, Guardians, Artisans, and Rationals.  If I were to just look at the name, I would have concluded that I was an Idealist. Once I read the definitions, I discovered that I was a Rational.  The definitionRationals speak mostly of what new problems intrigue them and what new solutions they envision, and always pragmatic, they act as efficiently as possible to achieve their objectives, ignoring arbitrary rules and conventions if need be.  
The portrait of the ENTP though is an inventor. They often look on ways to improve things and I can only relate to this as being finding better ways to teach my students. I looked at several different parts of the Rational and found this to be so funny. The following snip is a funny way to identify the kind of parent a person is.


I had to laugh because I have always wanted my daughter to go into medical research (mad scientist) rather than practice medicine. I encourage my children to think, have logical consequences for their actions, and would definitely tell them how to verbally confuse a bully. The only part that doesn't add up for me is the reaction to a touchdown as my daughter always played three sports and my son races motorcycles on a national level.  I hate losing at anything and sometimes this can be viewed as both a good and bad trait. If my child scored a touchdown, there would be no reaction, as this is more of an expectation on my part. So I feel pretty connected to the Rationals of the world.

The ISTE NETS:
5. Enage in personal growth, subset 3.
