Personality Test: What Do You See First and What It Says About You (fun starter!)

Personality Test: What Do You See First and What It Says About You (fun starter!)

(0)
Really fun starter the students love! The following is a personality test to see what kind of person you are. Psychologists have found numerous pointers as to what kind of person one is, from just things we take for granted. For instance, observing a picture for a short period is enough to know what kind of personality one has. Are you optimistic, creative or just stable. This personality test is not scientific, and its main purpose is simply to have fun.

A fun, informative and interactive lesson on phobias. I use when interesting language questions focused on tension, drama, scariness, dramatic etc. However, could be used as a fun starter on anything. I have included the top ten phobias on the PowerPoint and a separate Word document. I have also included class discussion questions and a fun personality starter named ‘What Scares You The Most.’ The students love it.

Draw a Tree / Journey of Life - Fun psychological tests!

(0)
Two fun psychological tests that the students love! Journey in Life - Try to get your group as relaxed as possible and ask them to close their eyes and listen to you. Set the scene of a day in the country. They are just about to start out on a walk. Ask them to imagine each of the following in turn, and each time write down what they saw in their imagination. Tell them they should write down the first image that comes into their head – not think about it for too long. After they have written down each description you can interpret their images using the ideas below. DRAW A TREE - Give each student a blank piece of paper and ask them to draw a tree. Tell them they are not to ask any questions about how to draw it – it is up to them. Then take in all the drawings and display them on the floor or where they can all see them. You may be able to group them at this stage. The following are possible interpretations of their drawings – they could make up their own interpretations!
