Monday's class

Hi everyone,

Hope you enjoyed the weekend sunshine. As you can see I'm not in school today - I have laryngitis, and as funny as it would be for you if I came in and made weird croaking noises, I'm going to have a quiet day - literally - and hope to be back with you Tuesday.

You will be completing a Myers-Briggs Types Indicator today. The Myers-Briggs is a well-established personality inventory that is often used by career counsellors, and even sometimes in hiring processes. It's designed to measure differences in ways that people experience the world and make decisions. I will explain it in more detail on Tuesday; for today, you're going to go ahead and do it (well, do a free online version of it).

Once you get to the website, you will see a long list of about 70 statements. You need to read the statement and decide whether it describes you. Don't think too much; go with your first instinct. Your teacher today will take you through and explain the more confusing statements. If you really don't know, you can skip, but try not to skip too many.

Once you're done, submit the results. It will give you a type in the form of a 4-letter acronym. Make sure you write it down. There are a few links below that you can try; make sure you click on the "Identify your Career" option. When you get to this page, choose the "Email this" option, and email it to yourself, so that you will have it saved.

Here is the website:

Again - make sure you write down your type!
