When they see things differently, misunderstandings can naturally occur. Recognizing personality patterns in ourselves and others helps us to understand each other even when we don’t see things the same way.

A typical classroom includes students who follow instructions well, those who have trouble sitting still in their chairs, some who seem more interested in social interaction than learning, and others who are good problem solvers. Each of these students has their own needs, values, perspectives, motivations, and ways of operating. Recognizing and understanding personality patterns can help you form more realistic expectations of student behavior and strengthen the teacher-student relationship.
