Teacher Idealist is one of the 16 role variants in the Keirsey Temperament Sorter personality questionnaire.

Overview

Teachers are introspective, cooperative, directive, and expressive. Teachers look for the very best and expect the best out of those around them. They are highly capable of helping learners express their inner potential. Teachers communicate to their pupils that each one of them has the potential to succeed and motivate others to meet the Teacher's positive expectations.

Teachers like to have things organized, settled and planned out. They will usually have their work hours and social engagements planned well in advance and can be trusted to honor their commitments. However, Teachers are also capable of using their creativity to invent engaging learning activities for their pupils with little planning. Teachers are more educational leaders than they are social leaders, their primary interest being the growth and development of others.

Teachers have a highly developed intuition. They are highly skilled at understanding what is going on inside themselves and others. Teachers often find themselves mirroring the beliefs, characteristics, and emotions of those they have contact with to generate rapport. This enables them to feel a close connection with others and develop a personal involvement in the joys and problems of others.

Teachers consider people to be their highest priority, and their communication often asserts a personal concern and willingness to help others. Teachers are warm, outgoing, and value harmonious relations and interpersonal communication. Teachers are usually easy to get along with, tolerant of others, and popular. They may also be the most expressive of all the role variants. They have exceptional language skills and don't hesitate to share their feelings, beliefs and ideas. Teachers are very enthusiastic and can be charismatic public speakers. Their exceptional language skills enhance their influence within groups, and they are often asked to assume leadership roles.
