Beowulf enhanced.

I've referenced Better Book Titles once before, in regards to one of our selections from English II. Now, with the completion of Beowulf, it's probably time for us to take a peek at the better book title for our Geatish hero.

Who am I? Beowulf takes the Myers-Briggs Personality Test.

A few days ago, I had students in British Literature take a Myers-Briggs personality test to get a good idea of what kind of Jungian personality type they have. Now, a few days later, we've started to get results to what British Literature class looks like.

A few pertinent facts:

  • 4 personality types had no students, in two classes, out of nearly 30: ISFP, INFP, ESTP, and ENTJ.
  • The most popular personality type in both British Literature sections was ESFP, the Performers. Strangely, they are said to make up 4-9% of the population
  • Just an opinion, but you can pretty much have guessed perfect who would be an I (introvert) and who would be an E (extrovert) before the test was ever given.
Here are the results:



ISTJ
ISFJ
INFJ
INTJ
Mr. Webb

ISTP
ISFP
INFP
INTP

ESFP

Thoughts on this chart? Any surprises? Any obvious ones?

Better book titles?


Better Book Titles is a pretty funny little blog I check up on daily. They take famous books and rename them into more accurate titles. Today's entry seemed to remind me of a certain English II class of mine.
