You are introspective, cooperative, directive, and expressive. You look for the very best and expect the best out of those around you. You are highly capable of helping learners express their inner potential. You communicate to your pupils that each one of them has the ...potential to succeed and motivate others to meet the Teacher's positive expectations. You like to have things organized, settled and planned out. You will usually have your work hours and social engagements planned well in advance and can be trusted to honor your commitments.
However, you are also capable of using your creativity to invent engaging learning activities for your pupils with little planning. You are more an educational leader than you are a social leader, your primary interest being the growth and development of others. You have a highly developed intuition. You are highly skilled at understanding what is going on within yourself and others. You often find yourself mirroring the beliefs, characteristics, and emotions of those you have contact with to generate rapport. This enables you to feel a close connection with others and develop a personal involvement in the joys and problems of others. You consider people to be your highest priority, and your communication often asserts a personal concern and willingness to help others.
You are warm, outgoing, and value harmonious relations and interpersonal communication. You are usually easy to get along with, tolerant of others, and popular. You may also be the most expressive of all the role variants. You have exceptional language skills and don't hesitate to share your feelings, beliefs and ideas. You are very enthusiastic and can be a charismatic public speaker. Your exceptional language skills enhance your influence within groups, and you are often asked to assume leadership roles. Famous Teachers include Mikhael Gorbachev, Pope John Paul II, Ralph Nader, and Oprah Winfrey.
Well, being a Teacher is the last thing on my mind, because I really do not think I have the patience to teach a class of students day in day out, without getting flustered and probably with an eternal lost voice. However, most of what they described above about me are accurate, EXCEPT that I do not like public speaking at all. I prefer one to one or a small group. I can spend hours talking to one individual to share opinions or just to listen to and counsel that person. I always think it is more effective to give the personal touch, rather than try to talk to a big audience. I should have been a counsellor. Someone told me I am suited for and will be more successful if I sell something intangible like a service rather than cold, hard, tangible products. So... yup, maybe I should have been a counsellor.
Talking about teacher, I suddenly thought of Mrs Tee from my JC days. I was not close to her or anything. In fact, she was a terror teacher whom all the students dreaded ALOT. You see, Mrs Tee was my Economics teacher, and Economics was not exactly my favourite subject. In those days, we had to go to different classes for different lessons. Whenever it was Economics lesson, everyone literally ran to the designated room as if we were in a marathon. It was horrifying to see some students falling down and hurting themselves while running. We were THAT frightened of Economics lesson. Mrs Tee was a really fierce teacher who never once smiled, and she would drill you and scream at you for an answer. If you got it wrong, you would get Hell. And Mrs Tee usually liked to start calling on students starting from the front row OR the last row, and down the line it went. So the reason why we ran was, everybody wanted middle row seats! (less chances of reaching their turns!)!!! It is hilarious thinking of it now, but really, Mrs Tee was THE FEAR FACTOR then. I often wonder how her husband was like. Anyway, I am just glad I passed Economics.
