Abstract
Observation and common sense tell us that all classes and students are different from one another; some students are outgoing and like groups, and others are shy and don't; in other words personality differences affect students' interactions and their reactions to us as teachers and the activities and assignments we design. Familiarity with personality types and how they might affect communication styles and ease of adjustment to various classroom practices can help prevent frustration and disappointment on the part of both teacher and student. A deeper knowledge of personality differences will also prevent teachers from inadvertently privileging some personality types, and therefore some cognitive and communicative styles, over others when they design activities and evaluate performances.
