Personality Test Results

Upon taking the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II, my results showed that I fell into the Artisans group. As a future teacher, I think the characteristics associated with the Artisan group will serve me well. By being creative and unconventional, I hope will be able to keep my future students interested in the subjects I teach. Another characteristic of Artisans is "troubleshooting leaders", surely this will be an invaluable personality trait in the classroom.

Personality Test Experience

The only previous experience I have with personalities tests comes from my Corporate Communications class. Toward the end of the semester, we did a short and informal survey in class that grouped the class into four groups. The groups corresponded to a letter; however, I can't remember what they were - perhaps ISTP? One thing that stood out during the test was that it seemed to accurately divide us into groups with similar personalities. There were 2 really shy, quiet people in the class. They were in a group together. The more talkative and outgoing members of the class were grouped together also. I was in that group.

After reading about the four types of temperaments, I can't decide whether I would fall into the "Artisans" or "Idealists" group. While I don't consider myself an artist of any sort, I tend to be fun-loving and realistic. As for the Idealist group, I've been told that I'm a very authentic person. However, Idealists are also described as being trusting and that's one trait I do not share with them. It will be interesting to take the personality test and find out where I fall.

My personal experience with web browers...

I began using the World Wide Web in 1995 via Mosaic. At the time, it was amazing. Browser technologies and features quickly change. Later, I found myself using Internet Explorer because it is easy. It was always been "loaded" on the computer when I got it and I didn't really have to think about it. Having several "techie" friends, I was lured to try Firefox. Currently, it is my browser of choice.

My First Blog & Introduction...

Hi, my name is Anita Lambert. Currently, I am enrolled as a junior in Business Education at FSU. Besides being a full-time student, I am the mother of a very rotten 6 (almost!) year old. Additionally, I am employed as the Finance Secretary for Braxton County Middle School. I've always been fascinated by technology and am really looking forward to this class.

I have a great camera phobia; however, I take plenty of pictures of my daughter. She took this one of me.
