A few studies suggest that introverted teachers—especially those who may have falsely envisioned teaching as a career involving calm lectures, one-on-one interactions, and grading papers quietly with a cup of tea—are at risk of burning out.
.. In some ways, today’s teachers are simply struggling with what the Harvard Business Review recently termed “collaborative overload” in the workplace. According to its own data, “over the past two decades, the time spent by managers and employees in collaborative activities has ballooned by 50% or more.”
.. 41 percent of teachers leave the profession within five years of entering it.
.. Barbara Larrivee’s book Cultivating Teacher Renewal: Guarding Against Stress and Burnout cites five different analyses that show “being introverted predicts burnout” in the general workplace.
.. “If the community of educators has agreed to value student learning styles, why not allow adults the freedom to play to their own strengths as well?
My Major, Myself
According to a new meta-analysis, there are significant personality differences between students in different academic majors. For the review paper, Anna Vedel, a psychologist from Aarhus University in Denmark, analyzed 12 studies examining the correlation between personality traits and college majors. Eleven of them found significant differences between majors. The review examined the so-called “Big Five” traits: neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness.
How Donald Trump Leverages America’s Fault Lines
In 2011 it asked the same people to rate Mr. Trump. One of the personality traits in the battery is called openness. Someone who scores high on openness is relatively more likely to be drawn to explore complicated or unfamiliar things: the person who orders that item on the menu that no one else risks trying or who is drawn to a career demanding creativity more than reliance on routine. The data show clearly that people who score high on openness have lower ratings of Mr. Trump than those who score low.
.. “Differences across global cultures and religions are too great to manage and we should stop trying so hard to minimize them” and the second is, “I try to be sensitive to people from other cultures and religions.” People who agreed with the first statement and disagreed with the second — in other words, people who didn’t think it was important to make an effort to close cultural gaps — were far more likely to hold favorable views of Mr. Trump.
.. Few people will change their minds on these things over the next several months — in either direction. Rather, these dimensions represent longstanding beliefs that are most likely developed early in life and are stable over time. This presents Mr. Trump with a rather large problem: It puts a ceiling on his support.
Here’s What Would Happen If We Put All The Myers-Briggs Characters Into The Hunger Games Together
INFP – Since all fiction novels seem to be written by INFPs for INFPs with the message that the person with the kindest heart wins, this type often assumes that they would champion the Hunger Games. In the real hunger games the INFP is first to get shot off their podium because they were daydreaming during the countdown and don’t notice that the games had actually started.
