I’ll also add a favorite of mine – a discussion sheet with statements which teachers must affirm/deny to help unveil their educational beliefs. Very handy for trainers.
Nice attempt. This is going to give only a general understanding of one’s teaching style. At least there could have been variations like a primary or secondary or higher secondary teacher how one would be different.

In the Quiz, it would be good to be able to rank scale the answer choice (e.g. Never/Sometimes/Usually/Always) rather than be forced to select only one. For example, for the question below, I use all 4 answer choices but to varying degrees. This often depends on a number of factors including learner variables (e.g. age/maturity, expectations), course objectives, and institutional demands.
