Even more than the other Idealists, Teachers have a natural talent for leading students or trainees toward learning, or as Idealists like to think of it, they are capable of calling forth each learner's potentials. Teachers (around two percent of the population) are able - effortlessly, it seems, and almost endlessly-to dream up fascinating learning activities for their students to engage in. In some Teachers, this ability to fire the imagination can amount to a kind of genius which other types find hard to emulate. But perhaps their greatest strength lies in their belief in their students. Teachers look for the best in their students, and communicate clearly that each one has untold potential, and this confidence can inspire their students to grow and develop more than they ever thought possible.

In whatever field they choose, Teachers consider people their highest priority, and they instinctively communicate personal concern and a willingness to become involved. Warmly outgoing, and perhaps the most expressive of all the types, Teachers are remarkably good with language, especially when communicating in speech, face to face. And they do not hesitate to speak out and let their feelings be known. Bubbling with enthusiasm, Teachers will voice their passions with dramatic flourish, and can, with practice, become charismatic public speakers. This verbal ability gives Teachers a good deal of influence in groups, and they are often asked to take a leadership role.

Teachers like things settled and organized, and will schedule their work hours and social engagements well ahead of time-and they are absolutely trustworthy in honoring these commitments. Valuing as they do interpersonal cooperation and harmonious relations, Teachers are extraordinarily tolerant of others, are easy to get along with, and are usually popular wherever they are.

Teachers are highly sensitive to others, which is to say their intuition tends to be well developed. Certainly their insight into themselves and others is unparalleled. Without a doubt, they know what is going on inside themselves, and they can read other people with uncanny accuracy. Teachers also identify with others quite easily, and will actually find themselves picking up the characteristics, emotions, and beliefs of those around them. Because they slip almost unconsciously into other people's skin in this way, Teachers feel closely connected with those around them, and thus show a sincere interest in the joys and problems of their employees, colleagues, students, clients, and loved ones.

For more information on this fascinating MBTI Personality Type test, see here. It's a really useful website and its content is extremely interesting! It's also very accurate. (:

If you scroll down here, there are the sixteen personality types. If you hover over your personality type, you'll find a short summary of 'you'. You need to know the code for your personality, though, so Astrid, you need to post yours up. ;) For example, mine is ENFJ, whereas Adam and Kathryn (and my brother!) are ISTJ.

Just above that table are the explanations of of the eight different types, i.e. Perceiving or Judging, Sensing or Thinking, etc. It really helps you see what kind of person you are, so here are the short summaries of each:


Extraversion (E)

• I am seen as “outgoing” or as a “people person.”
  
• I feel comfortable in groups and like working in them.
  
• I have a wide range of friends and know lots of people.
  
• I sometimes jump too quickly into an activity and don’t allow enough time to think it over.
  
• Before I start a project, I sometimes forget to stop and get clear on what I want to do and why.

Introversion (I)

• I am seen as “reflective” or “reserved.”
  
• I am seen as “reflective” or “reserved.”
  
• I feel comfortable being alone and like things I can do on my own.
  
• I prefer to know just a few people well.
  
• I sometimes spend too much time reflecting and don’t move into action quickly enough.
  
• I sometimes forget to check with the outside world to see if my ideas really fit the experience.

Sensing (S)

• I remember events as snapshots of what actually happened.
  
• I solve problems by working through facts until I understand the problem.
  
• I am pragmatic and look to the “bottom line.”
  
• I start with facts and then form a big picture.
  
• I trust experience first and trust words and symbols less.
  
• Sometimes I pay so much attention to facts, either present or past, that I miss new possibilities.

Intuition (N)

• I remember events by what I read “between the lines” about their meaning.
  
• I solve problems by leaping between different ideas and possibilities.
  
• I am interested in doing things that are new and different.
  
• I like to see the big picture, then to find out the facts.
  
• I trust impressions, symbols, and metaphors more than what I actually experienced
  
• Sometimes I think so much about new possibilities that I never look at how to make them a reality.

Thinking (T)

• I enjoy technical and scientific fields where logic is important.
  
• I notice inconsistencies.
  
• I look for logical explanations or solutions to most everything.
  
• I make decisions with my head and want to be fair.
  
• I believe telling the truth is more important than being tactful.
  
• Sometimes I miss or don’t value the “people” part of a situation.
  
• I can be seen as too task-oriented, uncaring, or indifferent.

Feeling (F)

• I have a people or communications orientation.
  
• I am concerned with harmony and nervous when it is missing.
  
• I look for what is important to others and express concern for others.
  
• I make decisions with my heart and want to be compassionate.
  
• I believe being tactful is more important than telling the “cold” truth.
  
• Sometimes I miss seeing or communicating the “hard truth” of situations.
  
• I am sometimes experienced by others as too idealistic, mushy, or indirect.

Judging (J)

• I like to have things decided.
  
• I appear to be task oriented.
  
• I like to make lists of things to do.
  
• I like to get my work done before playing.
  
• I plan work to avoid rushing just before a deadline.
  
• Sometimes I focus so much on the goal that I miss new information.

Perceiving (P)

• I like to stay open to respond to whatever happens.
  
• I appear to be loose and casual. I like to keep plans to a minimum.
  
• I like to approach work as play or mix work and play.
  
• I work in bursts of energy.
  
• I am stimulated by an approaching deadline.
  
• Sometimes I stay open to new information so long I miss making decisions when they are needed.

This is very interesting, especially the extra info from Viv.

Anyhow, I'm another ISTJ, which I think is right. I think that probably the 'Sensing' and 'Thinking' might be a little stronger than they've come out, but the other two are probably about right.

I agree, thanks for that information Viv.
I do enjoy things like this- but normally find at least half of the information and results inaccurate. Strangely, I think this is the first of these sorts of tests that I believe is more or less true enough. Tried it for a friend too and it was exactly how she is. It doesn't seem to exaggerate too much. So nice find Adam. (:

Like the other Idealists, Champions are rather rare, say two or three percent of the population, but even more than the others they consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life. Champions have a wide range and variety of emotions, and a great passion for novelty. They see life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil, and they want to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world. The most outgoing of the Idealists, Champions often can't wait to tell others of their extraordinary experiences. Champions can be tireless in talking with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out. And usually this is not simple storytelling; Champions often speak (or write) in the hope of revealing some truth about human experience, or of motivating others with their powerful convictions. Their strong drive to speak out on issues and events, along with their boundless enthusiasm and natural talent with language, makes them the most vivacious and inspiring of all the types.

Fiercely individualistic, Champions strive toward a kind of personal authenticity, and this intention always to be themselves is usually quite attractive to others. At the same time, Champions have outstanding intuitive powers and can tell what is going on inside of others, reading hidden emotions and giving special significance to words or actions. In fact, Champions are constantly scanning the social environment, and no intriguing character or silent motive is likely to escape their attention. Far more than the other Idealists, Champions are keen and probing observers of the people around them, and are capable of intense concentration on another individual. Their attention is rarely passive or casual. On the contrary, Champions tend to be extra sensitive and alert, always ready for emergencies, always on the lookout for what's possible.

Champions are good with people and usually have a wide range of personal relationships. They are warm and full of energy with their friends. They are likable and at ease with colleagues, and handle their employees or students with great skill. They are good in public and on the telephone, and are so spontaneous and dramatic that others love to be in their company. Champions are positive, exuberant people, and often their confidence in the goodness of life and of human nature makes good things happen.

Did a similar test and got the same result as Amanda (ENFP - Champion). They both suit be well so *shrug*.
