Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\nMaybe you have very good intra-personal skills and think you know everything about your strengths. I still recommend this test, because the results give you recommendations on how to best use your skills.<\/p>\n
If you’re like me, your intra-personal skills aren’t the best, and this test is certainly worth-while and helps you discover the best way to apply your skills.<\/p>\n
Here are my top 5 skills:<\/p>\n
\n- Harmony<\/strong>–\u00a0LOOK FOR CONSENSUS. THEY DON\u2019T ENJOY CONFLICT; RATHER, THEY SEEK AREAS OF AGREEMENT\n
\n- Anyone who knows me, knows I hate conflict. Some people thrive in debates. I want to curl up and hide.<\/li>\n
- Before this test, I never considered my conflict-avoidance a strength; I thought it meant I lacked all backbone whatsoever. Harmony means I have a talent for getting people to come to an agreement or compromise.<\/li>\n
- When students are working together, this strength will help me help students come to an agreement that makes all parties involved satisfied.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Achiever<\/em><\/strong>–\u00a0<\/em>WORK HARD AND POSSESS A GREAT DEAL OF STAMINA. THEY TAKE IMMENSE SATISFACTION IN BEING BUSY AND PRODUCTIVE\n
\n- There is no doubt in my mind this skill describes me perfectly.<\/li>\n
- My peers are often impressed by my initiative and ability to get things done. I usually tell them I hate having unfinished work.<\/li>\n
- I love having things to do, and when I look at my to-do list and it’s empty, at first I’m excited to have free time, but then I find myself looking for something to do.<\/li>\n
- As a teacher, this strength will help me help students set reasonable, achievable goals to help them finish large, long term projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Intellection<\/strong>–\u00a0CHARACTERIZED BY THEIR INTELLECTUAL ACTIVITY. THEY ARE INTROSPECTIVE AND APPRECIATE INTELLECTUAL DISCUSSIONS\n
\n- My mind is\u00a0always<\/em> running. I’m not always thinking about science or schoolwork. Sometimes I just think about the world, and about the people I see. My roommate will catch me lost in thought sometimes. She’ll snap her fingers and ask, “Hey! where’d you go?”<\/li>\n
- I’m not someone who is good thinking on the spot. I like to take time for reflection before answering questions asked of me.<\/li>\n
- This skill will help me guide students in developing thinking skills. If I can model my thinking\/thought processes to students, then they may be able to solidify their thinking skills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Learner<\/em><\/strong>–\u00a0HAVE A GREAT DESIRE TO LEARN AND WANT TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE. THE PROCESS OF LEARNING, RATHER THAN THE OUTCOME, EXCITES THEM\n
\n- You will often hear teachers call themselves lifelong learners. For me, that is definitely true.<\/li>\n
- I love learning new things, and it usually doesn’t even matter what topic I’m learning about.<\/li>\n
- Because I love learning, new stuff comes pretty easily to me. I need to be aware of this when working with students who need more time to digest material they learn.<\/li>\n
- This skill will help me as a science teacher, because I will constantly be looking for new information to stay up-to-date on what’s going on in the scientific community. Science is dynamic, and learning never ends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Discipline<\/strong>–\u00a0ENJOY ROUTINE AND STRUCTURE. THEIR WORLD IS BEST DESCRIBED BY THE ORDER THEY CREATE\n
\n- This skill yet again describes me perfectly. Planning and organization are my area of expertise.<\/li>\n
- This skill will make planning for the week an easy thing for me in the classroom.<\/li>\n
- The challenge with this skill is having the ability to let go of my lesson plan to allow students to enter into the margins when the opportunity presents itself.
