- The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a useful and practical tool for achieving understanding of ourselves and our unique gifts and the appreciation of others who are different from ourselves.
- Developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and Katherine Briggs over a 30 year period beginning in the 1940's.
- Implements the theories of Carl Jung, a major theoretician of normal, healthy, adult human personalities.
- The MBTI identifies different styles of perception, judgment, energy direction, and lifestyle.
- There are no "rights" or "wrongs."
- The indicator is concerned with useful and valuable differences in people, not with pathology, and it does not measure intelligence or ability.
- You will be the final judge of which personality type fits you!
Meanings. . .
- This preference pair is not about sociability or shyness
- Extraverts and Introverts both need other people as well as time alone, but to differing degrees

Introversion (I)
Where you focus your attention

- Sharing your MBTI results is voluntary
- The MBTI instrument is not a skills or intelligence assessment

- Our goal is to make constructive use of type differences
Extraversion (E)
- Drawn to their inner world
- Prefer to communicate by
writing
- Work out ideas by reflecting
on them
- Learn best by reflection,
mental “practice”
interests

them through

S/N Dichotomy
Activity
Sign Your Name
Consider:
Write about
snow
- Were you thinking about work instead of what you prefer? For example, are you constantly being told to be big-picture oriented?
- Are you experimenting with trying to be one way over another? Sometimes we want to try how the other half lives.
- Even if it's hard for you, do you place a high value on being one way over another? For example, do you struggle to be outgoing, yet value making others feel welcome.
- Think about past and current environments, was/is one preference emphasized over the other?
What did you write?
- Divide into groups with S and N preference.
- One member of your group will be the scribe. Dialogue with your small group about what you wrote.
- Report on what you saw to the larger group.
Perceiving (P)
How you prefer to Approach your life

SPONTANEOUS: Want variety, enjoy the unexpected, procedures hinder
EMERGENT: Plunge in, let strategies emerge, adaptable
- Clarity means how often, or how consistently, you reported a particular preference.
- It has nothing to do with how much you behave or feel a certain way.
- It does tell us something about how likely that is your preference.
Judging (J)
Does having a preference for one hand over the other mean that you can’t and don’t use the other hand?

You are the members of a scholarship committee. You are in charge of deciding which ten students will each receive a $10,000 scholarship. There are twenty applicants. Somewhere in the notification process the letters were switched. Those that were supposed to receive the scholarship received a denial letter and those who were not chosen were congratulated on receiving the scholarship. You can not divide/ change the scholarship amount. What do you do if anything? How do notify the students? How do you decide?

Miss Florida pageant crowns the wrong queen after counting error
Elizabeth Fechtel spent six happy days as Miss Florida 2014 before pageant officials told her that the crown belonged to her first runner up, Victoria Cowen. The young woman is ‘extremely upset’, family members said—especially since she had canceled all her classes to prepare for the Miss America pageant.
