Understanding Your Preferences
Event Details
Virtual Coffee Talk
[blockquote]
Many have heard of or taken the Myers Briggs Personality Inventory. This program asks each participant to take MBTI again, bring their four (4) letters for a discussion about preferences and how these might impact their life in work, home and social situations. It is a chance to sit back and get a true sense of why some of us seek all the details while others seem to decide on a whim. Why do some of us enjoy constant talk and reply while others sit quietly listening. Why is it some have ‘orderly’ closets, offices and others have piles and stacks. And what makes one seek harmony and agreement while others simply move ahead with decisions with some but not much regard for feelings. This session deals with how to respect other types, how to modify at times your type and how to feel comfortable with career choices as well as mate and living choices based on one’s Myers Briggs. The MBTI is still the most widely used assessment and the particpants will leave knowing there is no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ type, but how to accept their type.
