Understanding differences

Getting contrasts Ive just conveyed a workshop to a gathering of examination staff on the Myers-Brigg Type Indicator (MBTI). For those of you inexperienced with MBTI it is a character instrument dependent on the speculations of Carl Jung. Through perception of typical human conduct Jung built up a hypothesis of character which recognizes important contrasts between individuals contrasts which can in some cases be a wellspring of misconception and miscommunication.

Or would you say you are progressively perceptive of what is really going on around you, focusing on explicit data and realities? How would you like to move toward choice making?

Or would you say you are increasingly guided by close to home estimations, looking for concordance and regarding individuals as one of a kind? What way of life do you prefer? Do you like to make arrangements and stick to them, coming to conclusion on decisions? Or do you like to keep open to new encounters and data, being happy with taking the path of least resistance?
