TPI Response

My TPI results are shown below.
Transmission Total: (Tr):
31 (B = 11; I = 9; A = 11)
Apprenticeship Total: (Ap):
39 (B = 14; I = 13; A = 12)
Developmental Total: (Dv):
35 (B = 10; I = 14; A = 11)
Nurturing Total: (Nu):
42 (B = 14; I = 13; A = 15)
Social Reform Total: (SR):
33 (B = 12; I = 12; A = 9)
Beliefs total: (B)
61
Intentions total: (I)
61
Action total: (A)
58
Mean: (M)
36
Standard Deviation: (SD)
4
Dominant Threshold: (HIT)
40
Recessive Threshold: (LOT)
32
Overall Total: (T)
180

As can be seen, my Beliefs and Intentions numbers are same if we consider them in total.  I feel it is very interesting because I think this result might mean I will try to follow my beliefs and make them come true. And I think because now I don't have much experience of teaching in real world, my action numbers are lower than other two. I am not surprised that my Transmission and Social Reform numbers are lower than other three, because I am not very interested in this two topics in math. I felt surprised about my highest number is nurturing. But I think the reason why this number is so high is because I believe it is necessary for a teacher to be caring and loving. I want to make connections with my students and by knowing them, I hope I can figure out the most effective ways for them to study math. And I don't want to make marks of exams and assignments to be the only principle for evaluating my students. I believe effort and attitude are important, too.  I think when I start to teach or after my short and long practicums, my teaching philosophy might change. I will take this test again. I wonder if the results will change or not.
