Christine,

We use a multifactorial approach to team assignment. One of the instruments that we use is the VARK assessment of learning styles. This way we can avoid having teams comprised exclusively of visual, or kinesthetic learners, etc.

Subject: personality tests for creating teams

Hello Everyone,

I seem to remember that once someone mentioned dividing teams by 
personality type.  In May I'll be having the same group of students I 
had last year.  Last year's teams were divided by English proficiency 
(distributing talents equally among teams).  I'd like to try something 
different this time, but since the group is otherwise homogeneous (all 
20-something Japanese medical students in their 3rd year), the only 
thing that seems feasible is dividing by personality types.

Can anyone recommend a good free printable version of a personality 
inventory I could use on the first day of class?

Thanks!
Christine
