Performance Assessment

Today we did a performance assessment during class. We were unable to talk while doing it.

Action Research Project

So far, we started organizing information on traditional, nontraditional, male and female student's test scores. We organized the information using Excel. We did many different calcuations and also included charts. Then, we started putting our information into a paper.

Where is all of my stuff?

I used Microsoft PowerPoint to show the physical and virtual locations in which I store my work. The con of having virtual storage is if I am unable to connect to the internet then I am unable to retrieve my documents. The con of having physical storage is the risk of me losing or damaging my storage device.

Personality Rest Results

I took the online personality test. The results said I was an idealist. I honestly debated about whether or not I predicted I was going to be a guardian or an idealist. I am pleased with my results. I could use the results of the survey to assist myself in leading a class of students by explaining my results to my class so they could better understand me as a person. It would also be a fun activity for me to do with my students to help them learn a little bit more about themselves.

Four Personality Temperaments

I have very little experience with personality tests. My mom is a therapist and has given them to me in the past. However, I do not remember the results. I took the personality test assigned for this class. In order from most to least like me the results are as follows: guardian, idealist, artisan, and rationalist.

I am most like a guardian. I am a very dependable person. If I say I'm going to do something, I do it. I rarely miss scheduled appointments. I always do my homework and attend class. I am also very helpful. I would give someone the shirt off my back if they really needed it. I try to help people who are in need. For example, I am a volunteer for the Hope Inc. Domestic Violence Center. I work with the sexual assault victims who are in need of assistance. I raise money yearly for the Children's Miracle Network and am a donator to the Mannington Food Pantry. Along with helping out local charities and organizations, I also help my friends, family, etc. I am very hard-working. I always try to go above and beyond when it comes to my school work because I am very dedicated to school. I am a full time college student, a volunteer cheerleading and Fairmont State Reads coach, and as I mentioned before a volunteer for the Hope Inc. Domestic Violence Center. I have a very busy schedule. I have to work hard to succeed in all that I do. I am a very cautious person. I do not trust anyone. Period. It is very hard for someone to break down my wall. If you succeed in doing so, you will quickly find out that I love deep. If someone has my trust it is because I value them being in my life and I love them with my whole heart. As I said before, gaining my trust is almost impossible. As a result, I am a very trustworthy person. If you tell me a secret I will take it to my grave. I am so fearful of dishonesty and have so many issues with trust that I have learned to use my fear in a positive way which has motivated me to be a very loyal and trustworthy person. Finally, I do not like to "wing" things. Everything I do has to be scheduled. When things change, so does my whole mood. I have to know where, when, and what's going to happen all of the time.

I am least like a rationalist. I am skeptical of just about everything. I have a hard time believing anything anybody says. I am self-contained. You could say that I'm content with everything I have in life so far. I am an independent person. I don't like to work with other people. I would rather complete a task on my own. I feel I am held back when I work with another individual. I do, however, depend on my parents for money somtimes, etc. I am the total opposite of being even tempered. I am about as hot tempered as they come. I am the biggest hard head and I hold grudges for so long that sometimes I don't even remember why I was mad in the first place. Finally, I can sometimes be cold and distant which causes me to come across as being stuck-up but I am really not.
