Type Indicator (MBTI) |

| description |
MBTI is a widely recognized
instrument dedicated to creating heightened self-awareness about
individual personality styles related to energy directions, perceptions,
lifestyles and judgments. The MBTI was designed to implement the
theories of Carl G. Jung and focuses on four personality preference
areas:
- introversion – extroversion (I-E)
- intuiting – sensing (N-S)
- thinking – feeling (T-F)
- perceiving – judging (P-J)
Have you wondered why some people seem to speak before they think
while others ponder so long before speaking? Or why are some individuals
focused on every detail while other individuals only care about
the 'big picture'? There are some other differences you may have
noticed among friends, family and team members:
- Organized vs. disorganized
- Oriented towards deadlines vs. general
time frames
- Chatty vs. just the facts
- Loner vs. life of the party
We use the MBTI to recognize and appreciate the diverse personality
types within a team. Generally, on a team there are different
kinds of people who like different things and who are good at
different things. These differences may create challenges when
team members experience difficulties in understanding each other.
In a team setting, the use of the MBTI can be a very powerful
intervention to increase individual and team effectiveness.

objectives |
The goal of this initial workshop
is to motivate participants to understand their own personality
type and be open to share their type with their teammates. The
desired outcome is heightened self-awareness for greater self-management.
- To highlight the differences through experiential
exercises of the four preference pairs.
- To enable participants to understand their
own MBTI typology preference (four-letter type) and increase
their self-awareness.
- To reinforce openness and self-awareness.
- To enable participants to understand how
the various typologies fit into the workings of an organization
and team.

We will provide the MBTI preference test booklets
as well as answer sheets for Form M. Established in 1998, Form
M consists of 92 questions, which each participant must complete
within one week of the workshop. There are no right or wrong answers
to the questions. QPC Inc. will hand score the answer sheets and
enter the raw data into our database. We’ll generate written
reports that focus on your team type and mode.
