*Tell the class what type of person you are. The following serves as an example.

Topic: I’m a(n) ________ Type.

I’m the realistic type. I’m interested in working with machines and working outdoors. I enjoy working with things, as a technician, or a mechanic, for example.   

So, I know the difference between what is and what should be. I know what I can change and what I cannot. I don’t get stuck on ideas of what should be. I even accept evidence that goes against what I believe or want to believe, if it’s convincing. If what’s been newly discovered is important, I modify my beliefs accordingly.
