Teachers

[DirectorAbbie]

What is the best socionics relationship for a teacher to have with a student?

As far as I know, I've never had an ILI teacher, but I'm curious about supervision in this instance. I had an LSE teacher whose class was very educational and interesting, though he had sloppy handwriting. I have an EII teacher, which is nice because it's like she's giving me extra credit for being myself. I've had an IEI teacher. She liked me more than I liked her. In one class, only a few students did what they were supposed to, and I worked the hardest. The teacher was lazy. I had an IEE teacher. She was generous and made us do well, but she had her quirks. I had an SLI teacher. She really knew her subject and provided good examples, but it was extremely difficult to tell when she was pleased with something. I had a teacher who was LII. She was knowledgeable and easy to understand, but she liked making us work.

I would think either Mirror or Identity would be best.

Contrary relations are underrated for teaching purposes. Contraries are relatively easy to understand compared to other opposite quadra types, yet not inclined to speak to your biases and delusions and reinforce these.

There have been like a million threads on this subject.

I agree with pianosinger.

I had a math teacher (some kinda introvert) who I couldn't understand. I kept turning around and asking the LSI behind me for help.

Sorry; I was unaware. Could you link them?

Um, don't have them handy. Just search... (Don't mean to criticize, just pointing it out.)

I find that even though I don't like the Te of my SEE teachers, that I really love and enjoy their Fi (empathy) towards me and their students in general. They are very generous as teachers and very understanding of things that can go wrong which would make you miss a test. I needed this because one year I had such terrible allergies that I came down with a really bad respiratory infection and was out of school for three weeks. My teacher's Se allowed her to hustle and find time to email me homework, which I would do half ass and email back, and she allowed me to take the final exam one week after the class ended. I love how generous SEE teachers can be, but see, here's another example of contrary relations with me and the wonderful way that it can work, just not in a living situation.

Whatever club is best matched with the subject you're learning. My best maths teachers have all been LII. The worst, an ESE.

I had a chemistry teacher who was SLE. I got along with him pretty well, but hardly learned anything because he acted like he was teaching karate the whole time.

My favorite teachers have been 2 (3?) ESTjs, 1 ISFp, and 1 ESTp, in that order. I would imagine that people would learn best from their duals or types that resemble their duals, but a lot of it depends on the teaching style of the person.

Lol. A karate teacher in a chemistry lab...that makes an interesting mental picture.
