Situation - You are observing how someone behaves as a parent, a teacher and a student

1. Director - ESTJ

February 28, 2023

As the Parent. Advice / Style: Drives past McDonalds. "No McDonalds. We already have food at home." Has penchant for criticising and never praising.

Reaction on parenting: "Do not eat toast in the hall". Strict mother fcuker.

Parental discipline - Key Style: Strict (and the most loathed).
Good: The Guardian Parent - The "peaceful parent" - very traditional and practical. They tend to see the motives behind what their kids do and seem to be a clairvoyant. Organized and work hard for their kids, wanting to provide for their future.
Bad: Finds it hard to relax. Constantly trying to control the situation, protect their kids or be in charge. Does not handle bossy children very well and are also most likely to be an overbearing helicopter parent* at the school. Tend to be inflexible which makes major changes and transitions through the kids childhood harder on this type of parent and extremely difficult for the kids. e.g. Puberty.

Kid who will not like this parent: Investigator. And many others!

Parent faced with choosing Melbourne Grammar when the kid is 2 days old: Sensors require a “ground-up” approach to learning in which they are first taught the basic, factual, foundational details supporting a core concept, which they are then able to build into a bigger picture through comparative analysis.

As the Teacher. Advice / Style: “Yes, Jimmy, I understand that your Grandpa passed away this weekend, but did you not see clearly outlined in the Syllabus in Section 12.72, that all unexcused absences must be immediately reported to the Principal? I mean if you had submitted the assignment only a minute after midnight, I may give you a little bit of credit... but four minutes and thirty seven seconds? I don’t think so.”

As Student - Which subject: Architecture as they are organised and systematic.

As Student - Which Tag: The Class Leader.

As Student - Online class: The teacher mutes them.

At School:
* Thinks they are the teacher. Who does not understand why kicking out the Investigator would come with too much tension in the class? That is a rule, doesn't anyone understand? A rule.
* The domineering and micromanaging bully. Will offer you their services to you for free! A free bogwash? How about a nice atomic wedgie? They will give these without asking if you are a teacher’s pet or a nerd, how nice of them!
* They are one of the kings of the schoolyard pecking order alongside the Inspirational. Some of the more well behaved of them will appear more like an Objective Thinker.

HATES at School: Having to deal with drama.

STYLE at School:
* Performs the best in traditional grade school settings. As the SJs constitute roughly 40% of the population, most public school boards adopt an education approach that is largely tailored to suit their needs (to the detriment of almost all other patterns), not to mention the fact that many of those who teach from grades 1 through 12 also tend to be SJs themselves.
* Learns well through rote memorization. Have a knack for recalling details.
P *Probably the most likely to optionally sign up for extra-curricular activities such as like student council, ski club, hobby club, etc.
* Excels in career paths that require efficacy and a strict adherence to existing structures.

They challenge their kids, expecting them to think critically. They want their kids to be well-rounded and intelligent.
Bad: Are not very emotional and can appear very cold. This seems oppressive to the kids. Coupled with their strict tendencies, they have high expectations of their kids. Many times the kids that they cannot be perfect enough or can never be good enough for their parent. Emotional conflicts are difficult and they can easily discount the feelings of the kid. They also tend to resort to fear based parenting in difficult moments with their kids; the same style as with workers at the office.

Kid who will not like this parent: Specialist.

Parent faced with choosing Melbourne Grammar when the kid is 2 days old: Intuitives prefer a “top-down” method of understanding, where they are first allowed to explore the more “big picture” patterns and abstractions of a given subject. After they have pieced this together, they will then be able to weave the fundamental details together with their understanding of the broader context.

As the Teacher. Advice / Style: "I understand your pet dog just died, but we need to stay focussed on what is at hand. We only have eight more weeks until the practice test and I want all of you to be achieving perfect scores on that. And hold on. There will be trouble for those who do not achieve high scores.”

As Student - Which subject: History as they enjoy learning about historical significances and meaning. With constant evaluation of the timeline of life and believe that by learning history, they can predict the future.

As Student - Which Tag: Organiser and 2IC to the Director.

As Student - Online class: Mates see them so happy as they have muted all their classmates.

At School:
* The "who cares" student who has no time for dramas. There are many goals to be achieved so they just start reviewing their notes.
* Oh it is on. It is a war for control. Will the Developer go to detention? No. They are the bully who has friends in high places. They will probably sue the school and find some ridiculous loophole to strike their detention from the record.
* They may just be the one who takes over the school. The Enhancer, Perfectionist and Inspirational are seen as silly. Their efforts are for nothing. I’m the real deal. Watch how I do it

HATES at School: Having unmotivated peers.

STYLE at School:
* Sets academic goals for themselves from a very young age .

Reaction on parenting: "I'm bored. I know you are 8, but can you drive?"

Parental discipline - Key Style: Still the kid.
Good: The Go-Getting Parent - They are adaptable and, importantlt, go with the flow. They live in the moment so they are absorbing every little thing their child does and completely understands that tomorrow is a new day and that yesterday is not a reflection of what will happen today.
Bad: Can sometimes be impatient or even struggle to keep their cool with their kids because as parents they are always on the go, spontaneous and goal-oriented. This short attention span can sometimes make their kids feel frustrated and misunderstood. They sometimes also do not provide rules or structure that their kids need because they disregard rules themselves to get stuff done.

Kid who will not like this parent: Agent.

As the Teacher. Advice / Style: "Yooo what’s good my guys? My name’s Kyle and I’ll be subbing in for Mr. Wordsworth today. I’m a bit hungover from the university party last night, so sorry about that... but I bet you all know what that’s like. He he he."

* They always want to get out of their seat and do a lap of the track or play a game of football. Apart from Physical Education, school is a totally boring event to them.

HATES at School: Slogging through tests, assignments and homework.

They are excited to try new foods, new places and new adventures with their families. They teach their kids to be problem-solvers, because it is their own best skill.
Bad:Argues every last detail and refuses to negotiate with their kids. They tend to want to be the “greatest dad in the world” or the perfect “pinterest mum”, forgetting that not everything has to be perfect. They also can be intolerant of their kids’ ideas, dismissing them as impractical or say a school project could be fine-tuned. They are the parent that is most likely to intervene instead of letting a child do something themselves or learn from the experience.

Kid who will not like this parent: Specialist.

As the Teacher. Advice / Style: "All right, time for some class discussion." {Everyone tries to avoid eye contact} "Let’s see… Ah, Harold you have been a bit quiet recently! How would you defend against the Senate’s recent decision to pass the Climate Change (It's all nonsense) bill?”

As Student - Which subject: Public Speaking as they have a free flow way with words, are articulate and are great impromptu speakers. They are not called the "Debaters" without a valid reason.

At School:
* Does not get the teacher but pretends to lend support just to see where the debate goes, then suddenly changes their opinion to make it more challenging.
* The troll. Probably looking for a chance to correct the teacher when they say something wrong. And when they do, they will instantly call them out on it. Although then they get told off for interrupting the teacher.
* Then they realise that school is not about learning at all. It is about obedience. They seek out the other NTs and join them in taking over the school.

HATES at School: Being told what to think.

STYLE at School:
* As an NPs are the students who, despite being chronic under-achievers, are clearly extremely bright and capable on average.

* Tends to struggle with the social aspect of school.

Parental discipline - Key Style: Lenient.
Good:The Giving Parent - Exceptionally concerned for their kid’s feelings and is always digging deeper into their kid’s emotions. Seeks to understand their kids and try to do good for their kids and family. Provide for the needs of the individual child and are less likely to lump everyone’s needs as one. They are more likely, but not exclusively, to help explain a situation to a child vs. dole out the “because I said so” card.
Bad: Spends too much time trying to meet the individual needs of everyone in the family, such as making a different meal for each kid's preference. They can bend over backwards to meet needs, but then feel unneeded or unfulfilled. They also struggle making hard decisions for their kids for fear of making the wrong one. [The answer is no; now what was your question?] They use the "because I said so card" when they have run out of talent. Can be the mega interfering helicopter parent*.

Kid who will not like this parent: Objective Thinker. Enhancer.

As the Teacher. Advice / Style: "So ladies and gentlemen, while our history class may now be coming to a close, I want you all to let this example of Martin Luther King Jr. stay with you forever.

They are a social type, however typical smalltalk bores them. Expect to see them in the philosophy circle drowning out the entire conversation. They just do not stop talking about why things happen.

HATES at School: Constant burnout.

* The girls will be the queens of the girl groups and they can be noticed by maxing out their Facebook friends limit. That’s their life achievement. Nothing.

HATES at School: Constant social pressure.

*The popular Appraiser is probably their best friend and the one to tell them the teacher is coming back. The party stops, the classroom is still a mess,and the whole class is kept in over lunch. Thanks to the Counselor.

* The total snowflake. You seem to know how they are obsessed with their fashion sense and with their identity.
* You have to be incredibly careful when you talk to them. You do not want to ignite that fire of the extreme idealist.They would have you follow the Victory Church. They believe God created all things, visible and invisible, out of nothing and all very good. Including the nuclear missiles. The claim is actually made in an environment of suspension of facts.

Bad: Frustrated by the changes by becoming one. They typically do not like the mess their kids make and do not handle deviation from their routine very well. Sometimes the initial phase of having a baby is the hardest because routine, logic and order are all thrown out the window. As children grow, these parents struggle with sometimes having expectations that are too high. They can easily get upset when a child disobeys, even taking it personally.

Kid who will not like this parent: Persuader.

Kid who will not like this parent: Promoter.

As the Teacher. Advice / Style: "If you want to do well in this course, you’ve got to put in the work. I would expect at least five hours of studying this material each day and, preferably, a little extra on weekends. At least that’s what I did when I took this course at high school."

As Student - Which subject: Computer Science as they love the required organization/systemising and the details and lexicon that requires memorization.

As Student - Which Tag: The Model Student.

As Student - Online class: Mates see them so happy as they have muted all their classmates.

At School:
* Does not care about school. Rules are rules and should be obeyed. Meanwhile writes the next session's homework. Please somebody stop the interrupting Promoter talking about that bird's 'face palm'.
* The teacher’s pet. Goody goody two shoes who will tell the teacher if you are even only trying to have fun. They are the ultimate killjoys.
* Also they are the kids who get shoved in the lockers or the bins, somewhat deservedly so. They were the ones who turned your school into Oceania from 1984. They do unpaid labour in the form of being the hall monitor.

HATES at School: Unreliable relationships.

15. Perfectionist - INTP

February 28, 2023

As the Parent. Advice / Style: Encourages learning and curiosity while being laid back.

Reaction on parenting: "Wait. What are kids?"

Parental discipline - Key Style: Still the kid.
Good: The Thinking Parent - Value knowledge, pushing their children to excel in education and higher-thinking extra-curricular activities. They tend to not follow what is popular, but rather parent their children in their own way that they determine as being the best fit for the family, even if it is inconvenient or beyond the normal.
Bad: Can get frustrated both at themselves or at others when things do not go as planned. Tends to avoid negative situations with their kids because of the overwhelming emotional experience and tantrums from their kids can push them over the edge. Offer no practical advice on anything.

Kid who will not like this parent: Counselor.

As the Teacher. Advice / Style: "So then you use Gaussian elimination to find the derivative and you set x equal to 217, to get the final answer of 2. And that’s how you solve 1 + 1."

As Student - Which subject: Mathematics as well as being good at physics as Their self esteem is often defined by their evaluation of their own intelligence and what is more smart than mathematics?

As Student - Which Tag: The Silent Genius.

As Student - Online class: Keeps straight face while secretly playing video games.

At School:
* Did not even recognise all the fuss because is too busy with a bunch of brilliant ideas in their mind which are more interesting than the whole class and are way ahead of the teacher.
* Probably thinking the same thing as the Enhancer but the Perfectionist is a bit of a coward. They will follow rules, not because they agree with the rules, but because they fear the wrath of the teacher. But whenever they are given the chance, they will break rules which make no sense to them.
* Expect them to be bullied a lot due to their meek nature. They are probably friends with the Enhancer sympathise with their goals.

HATES at School: Being made to feel like a slacker.

STYLE at School:
* Tends to feel under-stimulated in most classroom settings.
* Requires a more hands-on approach to learning.
* Probably the most likely (apart from SJs) to sign up for after-school sports teams such as football, basketball, soccer, track and field, etc.
* Tends not to struggle as much with the social aspect of school as some others do.
* Excels in career paths that are fast-paced, require quick thinking and allows them to immerse themselves fully in the immediacy of the experience. Require physical stimulation and enjoy experiencing novel physical sensations (e.g. trade jobs).
* Quick learners who assimilate and apply new information rapidly.
* Though they are often slackers in a general sense, when they’ are on the job, they tend to be very hard and capable workers.

16. Enhancer - INTJ

February 28, 2023

As the Parent. Advice / Style: "We will have Career plans A, B, C, D and E. And maybe a plan Z in case the kid wants to pursue the arts."

Reaction on parenting: "Wait. I have kids?"

Parental discipline - Key Style: Strict.
Good: The Scientific Parent - Great planners as a parent. They have goals for their kids and sure-fire ways for their kids to achieve them. They are great motivators and leaders for their kids, pushing their children to go above and beyond and inspire their children to think they can, even when they say they cannot.
Bad: Can expect too much from their kids and too soon. They do not allow for things to happen naturally, rather they push for things to happen on their own agenda and can get frustrated when it does not pan out that way.

Kid who will not like this parent: Appraiser.

As the Teacher. Advice / Style: "What’s that you say? You think I made a mistake when writing the exam paper? If you think that, I’m guessing you must be a flat-earther and think pigs can fly, too."

As Student - Which subject: Physics as they are great at connecting the dots of abstract movement. Physics concepts often come incredibly naturally to them.

As Student - Which Tag: The Top Of The Class.

As Student - Online class: Mates see them so happy as they have muted all their classmates.

At School:
* The student who does not give a damn and continues to read their book which is way more beneficial than the one set by the school and way more relevant than the dumb teacher.
* Secretly plotting to take over the school. They do what they want when they want. If the school rules do not make logical sense, expect them to ask why should I tuck my shirt in, why should I choke myself to death by fastening my top button? Is this going to help me learn? Isn’t that what school is supposed to be about?
* Then when they turn 15, they realise it is a scheme to brainwash the public and they make the connection between school and the zombified population of adults.

HATES at School: The rigid nature of classes. Compulsory meaningless activities - singing, outdoor education, force fed religion etc.
