MBTI Understanding Work Styles

Understanding Work Styles utilizes the highly reliable Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) instrument, which gives an individual some clear clues regarding their preferences and tendencies on four bipolar personality dimensions. The results of this well-developed test provide insights on how we take in data and give it meaning; how we make decisions, judgments, and take action; where our source of personal energy comes from; how we prefer to interact with the external world. The results indicate each individual’s strengths and unique gifts, while also pointing out vulnerabilities and areas for personal development. Within groups, the MBTI is useful to help recognize and value differences among individuals, so that the strengths can be combined and some interpersonal difficulties may be more easily overcome. The workshop will provide opportunities to examine and practice a variety of applications of Type awareness.
