Personality Testing

For years I did a personality test with my students the first week of school.  They found is mildly amusing until I starting explaning how the types did or didn't get along.  Then they really got into it. You take an otter student and put him with a beaver teacher = disaster.  And beaver students were often frustrated by otter teachers.  Ironically, most teenagers are otters.  The words require some explanation, but at least you can count it as a vocabulary lesson!  test

For those of you interested, there is also a book aimed at young children describing the same personality types.  book
