One of the challenges I face with participants in Myers-Briggs Workshops is around gender bias.  This is particularly evident when we discuss Thinking and Feeling preferences.Â
It becomes clear quite quickly that there are some women that feel they “should” have a Feeling preference and many men that feel they “should” have a Thinking preference.Â
It often [...]

Again, not sure where this came from originally, but found this in my MBTI resources the other day …..
ENFJ — There’s more than enough for friends to share.
ENFP— Whooeee! Water fight!
INFP — But look! A crystalline vessel, filled with shimmering, life-giving nectar!
INFJ— Senator Hophnagle used the rest of it for his mud pie project.
ENTJ — [...]

For those of you familiar with MBTI type, I am sure you will find this amusing.
ISTJ          Lord, help me to relax my focus on insignificant details, even though any of them may cause significant problems later.  Begin this tomorrow at 8:31:04 am.
ISTP     God, please help me to consider other people’s feelings, even if most of them [...]

Many people struggle as youngsters with the idea of deciding what we “want to be when we grow up”.  Many adults still don’t know what they “want to be”, years after they start their working lives and careers.  Gone are the years of one job for life!

She said something along the lines of …. “I tell them [...]

The last process to be covered with MBTI is how we organise our outer world.  Are you a slave to your To Do List?  Does the thought of a To Do List leave you cold?  Do you like your life organised and structured or do you like to leave plans open in case a better [...]

Moving right along, the next process we need to look at is, how do you make decisions?  You will either have a preference for Thinking (T) or Feeling (F).  Again, we need to remember the meaning of these words in a Myers-Briggs context.Â
Thinking preference means you will use logic to make decisions and you will [...]

So, next up is the preference that determines how you prefer to gather and process information.  The preferences are for either Sensing or iNtuition (shown as S or N – the I is used for Introversion in the first preference).Â
Those with a preference for Sensing focus on past or present experiences and what they experienced [...]

My apologies for being so slack!!  Sometimes life really does have a way of interfering with our plans!
