IDIOMS AND PERSONALITY TYPES IN TEACHING

 Have you ever heard about the Big Five? What about the 16 Personalities?  Well, these terms refer to two personality theories developed in the last century. The first one, also called the Five Factor Model is a trait personality theory developed  by D.W. Fiske in 1949 and is currently the most accepted theory among psychologists . This theory implies five traits that define our personality.

The second mentioned theory is a reinterpretation of the Big Five Model by Myers-Briggs as a "framework for understanding personality" (Katherine Qwan, 2021), which allows people to have an insight about their own perception of the world, process information, strenghts, weaknesses and others.
