Learner Profile self-assessment quiz - digital and printable for IB PYP/MYP/DP

Engage your students and connect with the core of the IB with this easy start of year activity. It allows you to get to know your class AND create a display showing off their unique learner profile. Alternatively, a fun activity at any time of the year to lead into learning about or reflecting on the learner profile attributes. Suitable for older primary or secondary students (could be adapted for younger students by making the wording more accessible or including pictures.)

How to use:

• Each student gets a copy of the Google sheet (or print a physical version).

• There are 5 questions. Each one has 10 answers (corresponding to the 10 learner profile traits). Students need to rank the answers from 10 (most likely) to 1 (least likely).

• On the last tab, the total points for each trait is shown alongside two graphs (pie/donut chart and a horizontal bar chart).

• For a display, the graphs can be printed as is with the student’s name added. Or using the scores, students could design their own “profile” using the result table (e.g. a pyramid or a drawing of their profile with a word cloud inside showing higher ranking traits larger.)

• If printed and completed as a physical quiz, totals need to be manually calculated.

Questions:

1. It’s a hot day, what are you cooling down with?

2. Over the next 20 years, what job could you imagine yourself in?

3. You are assigned to a group for a project, what are you doing?

4. You are given some gifts, which are you most happy about?

5. Your school plans an afternoon off timetable, which activity would you sign up to?

Also included is a supporting document that explains how each answer links to the assigned learner profile trait.
