Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Students will be presented with information on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and discuss the differences between the different components that make up each of the 16 personality types, including cognitive functions.  During the discussion, students will be able to self-identify personality cognitive functions that best describe themselves.  Each student will be given information about their personality type and other personality types.  The class will discuss how different personality types communicate, and how knowing personality typing can help them understand and communicate better others!
Learning Goals
Students will identify their own personality type through class discussion, visuals, and a worksheet.  Through conversation, they will use their critical thinking to learn how to use personality typing to better communicate and understand others.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Disclaimer: Personality typing is not about mental health or the mental health field.  I have taken all of the coursework for my second bachelor's degree in psychology.  I have spent a few years taking part in online learning groups about personalities and personality typing, where I was able to find books, articles, and learn a lot about typing - particularly the Myers-Brigs Type Indicator, or MBTI.  I wrote a professional development seminar on personality typing.  I’ve coached handfuls of people through finding their MBTI type, have enough knowledge on the subject to relay it to this age group in a fun and interesting way while promoting higher-order thinking skills at the same time.
