I have to say that I wasn't surprised by the results of the Hartzell Needs Assessment and the Jung Typology Test. According to Hartzell I am considered to be an achiever. I agree with that statement. I am a person that is centered on the finished product not the recognition. I like to work behind the scenes, and I do not like the spotlight. This seems to go hand in hand with the results that I got on the Jung Typology Test. Sensitivity was my highest scoring category at 62% According to this test I look for the underdog and take them under my wing. That's pretty much me. The lower students in my class or those that have difficult or harsh family lives are the kids that I hold close to my heart. Jung's also had my feelings as my second highest score at 50%. Obviously these two go hand-in-hand. I was completely taken aback at the accuracy of these tests. These are definitley areas I will use in my career to make the important relational connections with my students. The results also let me see the areas I need to work on in order to be a more well rounded and effective professional. I need to work on being more direct and taking the leadership role. It's easy as a teacher to fall in to the category of a follower, but as a librarian I know that I am going to have to take the lead on all of the projects and issues that occur in my library. This is definitley an area for improvement. Overall, I have gleaned a lot of information about myself, and I know what I need to improve. I feel that this was a very useful activity.
