Using the Myer-Briggs Type Indicator
Jessica filled out a Myers-Briggs Questionnaire. It tells me that Jessica is an ISTJ (Introversion, Sensing, Thinking, Judging). Based upon my observations of her personality, this assessment may be on target. I think the "S" is correct, but I would think that Jessica may have stronger "Feeling" tendencies than "thinking" tendencies. In any case, if she truly is an ISTJ, her dominant mental process for taking in information is sensing clear tangible data that fits in with her here-and-now experience. With this in mind, how do I make her lesson more sensory focused as a means of intriguing her to learn?

What is the next step to take in building her technique and repertoire? If she loves her repertoire and has the technical skill to match the level, she will be more motivated to practice.
Jessica loves to create music. She is an expressive child. Yet, at this stage in her life, she is holding back her expressiveness for some reason. Is she fearful? Is she insecure? Does she feel it’s easier to hide her expression than to let it show? Is it about pride? Is it that she has to let her pride down to show that she’s interested in something.
Is she really more of a "Sensing" Type than an "Intuitive" type?
She loves Dance. She loves dolls. She loves to shop. I've got to be creative here!
Or, perhaps I need to look at it from the other direction... Is she more of a 'Feeling' type than a 'Thinking' type?
She is quite an emotional girl, and I bet she has stronger "F" tendancies. I will have to investigate further before I draw a conclusion about her Myers-Briggs Type.
I think you may be right, Jason. The more I incorporate "Fun" things into her lessons, the more willingly she responds to my teaching.
