This type can read between the lines and understands the motivations of the characters in novels like Robinson Crusoe. They often love to participate in class. They must have harmony in the class to feel positive and will actively participate in discussion where values are front and center. If the teacher plays favorites and allows the class to become divided for any reason, this type will shut down. The teacher who encourages study groups will appeal to this type.
Math: A teacher who assigns nightly homework in precalc and covers the
answers the next day in class really works for this type. These daily exercises
will help this student meet their personal goals within the semester precalc
curriculum. The teacher who actually assigns a grade or a point value to daily
or weekly work will gain their appreciation. Teachers will get a thumbs up if
they offer markers or milestones that track completion and academic progress
throughout the semester. Teachers who only give periodic tests will get a
thumbs down because this type likes to know where they are at in the class.
History: This type will probably like history, but may not get the best grade
because sometimes they let their personal opinions count more than the facts.
The teacher who brings out the human interest in historical narratives really
plays to their learning style. The teacher who devotedly follows the chronology
or focuses on the objective reasons for a war may not get their approval.
They might view the Pilgrims’ perilous Atlantic crossing through the survivor’s
tales and emotional scars. They are much less interested in the actual
year that the Pilgrims landed than the drama of it all.
Science: The ENFJ will like a science teacher who assigns projects that require
outside work with other classmates. They especially like anatomy classes
because they are connected to human health. The “knee bone connected to
the leg bone” makes for the orderly, structured way they prefer to learn. The
teacher who acknowledges their skill and ability to be a team player will best
develop this student’s potential. The teacher who assigns technical lab reports
that only require recording observations will be hard for this type. Daily or
weekly quizzes centered on data will also not appeal to this type if it is the
primary method for the final grade.
