Discussion Board – Jung Myers Briggs Types

Watch the video lesson on the Jung Myers Briggs. Discuss the lesson on the Jung Myers Briggs Indicator by answering the following discussion prompts (in about one paragraph each):

Look at your four letter result and read about your type (click on the “16 Types” tab on the humanmetrics website for more information). What is a word or phrase you would use to describe your overall type (for example caretaker, dreamer, or inventor)? How well do you identify with the description of your overall type? How can people with your type add to an organization?
Look now just at the Extrovert/Introvert dimension. Based just on being an Extrovert (E) or Introvert (I), what could be a job stressor for you based on that trait? What would you want other people to know about working with your type (again, just isolating for the Extrovert or Introvert dimension)?
Look now just at the Thinking/Feeling dimension. Based just on being a Thinker (T) or a Feeler (F), what could be a job stressor for you based on that trait? What would you want other people to know about working with your type (again, just isolating for the Thinking or Feeling dimension)?

Also respond to the posts of two classmates (in about one paragraph per response).

For full points, your post should be well thought out, well formatted, and thorough. Responses to other posts must be substantive and engage ideas in a meaningful way. Incorporate course materials and information from the lecture video into your discussion. Make your posts by the assignment deadline.

Hello class, this lesson is about using the Jung-Myers-Briggs personality indicator0:04
to better understand personal communication styles0:09
before you dove into this video lesson, please go ahead and take the Myers-Briggs indicator0:15
online as I’ve asked you to on Canvas. You can find the link to the right page0:20
to do that under the submit your Myers-Briggs result assignment.0:25
When you look at your four letter result, you’ll see that they’re pulling from different dimensions. And I’ve got those listed the definition0:31
of what each of those dimensions is listed here. The first one is extroversion0:37
versus introversion. And this may be a little bit different definition than you’ve heard for this before. So0:42
they’re defining this as how people get and use their energy. So people tend to direct their energy outward:0:47
extroversion or inward: introversion and to get their energy from one of those two sources. So0:52
an extrovert will get a lot of energy from being around other people, whereas an introvert needs some time0:57
alone or doing something by themselves in order to refill their energy and1:03
just to feel energized. Next one is sensing versus intuition. And they’re borrowing1:08
the N from the intuition here. And this has to do with how people gather information. People1:13
notice and pay attention to different things in their environment. Either the here and now using their five senses: sensors1:18
or they get information from their gut, hunches, and instinct: intuitors.1:24
The next dimension is thinking versus feeling T versus F how people make decisions once1:29
they’ve gathered information. People tend to make their decisions with either logical, impersonal analysis:1:34
thinkers or through applying more person centered values: feelers. Judging versus1:39
perceiving how people organize their lives. People choose to live their lives either through plans and structure:1:44
judging or through spontaneity and flexibility: perceiving. And they’re just1:50
using the capital letter for each of those to indicate which of those dimensions came up as1:55
yours. Few things to note. The first is2:00
that when it comes to the Myers-Briggs we’re measuring things on a continuum. So if you can imagine that there2:05
is a scale on either end is one hundred in the middle is zero,2:10
then the the letter, the numbers that you got below your four letter results2:15
help you understand how strong that preference was for you. So if you’re closer to zero, it means2:20
maybe that wasn’t as strong of a preference. If it was maybe 20 or above, that is a strong2:25
preference. So here on this scale. I’ve got someone came in isn’t as 802:31
on the E! Then that means that’s a very strong preference for that. Right? So just look at where would you2:36
fall on that continuum to kind of understand that that was a very strong preference for you. Or maybe2:41
that’s a dimension where you’re able to operate in either style because you fell more towards the zero2:46
in the middle. We also want to know that we also want to understand that the Myers-Briggs2:51
assessment is just measuring preferences. It’s just saying if you had your way,2:56
how would you prefer to operate? It doesn’t mean that you can’t operate in the other style, that you don’t operate in the other3:01
style throughout the day or at different times in your life. It just means if you if3:07
you had your preference, this would probably be how you would operate. And then lastly, it can change3:12
over time. So you may have taken this in the past and gotten a little bit different result. It’s possible3:17
that as you grow and take on different roles in your life or in your job, you may stretch3:22
yourself into into another style and you might see these preferences change or shift a little bit3:27
over time. And that’s OK. As we go through the lesson here,3:32
feel free to map scores in the document that I’ve provided on canvas. You can see3:38
here I’ve got a scale for each of the dimensions and you can sort of map your result as we3:43
go through and explain what each of these mean. Let’s3:48
start with the dimension of extroversion and introversion. In a general population3:53
there would be about a 75/25 percent split here. Extroverts are about 75 percent3:58
of the population, introverts about 25 percent. Some traits of extroverts4:03
energized by people like being the center of attention tend to act and then think tend to4:09
think out loud. Their kind of verbal processers, they want to think their ideas through with someone else.4:14
Easy to read, share freely might talk more than they listen. Communicate with enthusiasm,4:19
respond quickly, prefer breath and have broad interests. Work out ideas by talking them through4:25
and learn best by sharing, doing and discussing. For introverts, they’re energized by4:30
spending time alone. So it’s not that they don’t have to spend time with others, that they4:35
don’t have any friends, but it’s that in order to really get that time to recharge, they’d rather have some4:40
downtime alone. To do that to avoid being the center of attention tend to think4:46
you want to have a chance to think things through before they take action. Think things through inside their4:51
heads are more private. They might just share things with the select few people. Listen more4:56
than they talk. Keep enthusiasm to themselves and respond after having time to think.5:01
Prefer death. Learn best by having time alone to process before working in quiet5:06
environments. They’re able to focus on one project at length and known to be reflective,5:12
quiet, private or deep. So think about these two dimensions and where you5:17
fell on that scale. And I’m just curious for you to think about what5:22
of the traits that are listed here fit for you. Did any of this makes sense, did any of it resonate with you.5:27
Now let’s move to the next dimension. S. versus N. Sensing versus intuitive.5:35
So in a general population, there’d be about a 50/50 split here. For sensors, these people5:40
trust what is certain and concrete, like new ideas with a practical basis, value realism and5:45
common sense like to use their known skills, give specific and detailed descriptions.5:50
See information in a step by step manner oriented to the present, prefer real, concrete,5:55
tangible information. They’re attentive to details, specifics and facts. They enjoy task as an orderly6:01
sequential format. They work at a steady pace and have stamina. So to me, this sounds6:06
like the profession of accounting.Intuitives, trust6:11
inspiration and inference like new ideas for their own sake. Value imagination and innovation.6:16
Like to learn new skills, use metaphors and analogies. They’re oriented to the future. They’re good at seeing possibilities6:22
and potential. They see the big picture connections and patterns. They remember6:27
specifics better when they’re part of a pattern. They’re known to be more imaginative, creative, bored6:33
by routine and sequential tasks, and have burst of energy to work on things rather than stamina over time.6:38
So to me, that sounds sort of like the field of entrepreneurship. So6:44
look at where you fell on the on the scale for these two dimensions.6:49
And mark that down and ask yourself if you came up as an S or an N which of the traits6:55
here resonated with you? How do you see these showing up in your daily life?7:00
Next dimension thinking versus feeling T versus F about a 50/50 split in the regular population7:08
for this as well. So for thinkers, they step back, use a more impersonal analysis.7:13
They value logic, justice, fairness. One standard for all they see flaws and tend to be critical7:19
may be seen as heartless, insensitive or uncaring awww, sad. Find7:24
it’s more important to be truthful than tactful. Examine logical consequences of decisions.7:30
They’re good at objectively weighing the pros and cons. They enjoy problem solving and critiquing. They7:35
seek standard principles to apply uniformly and they look for cause and effect in relationships7:40
in data. They consider feelings when they’re presented as facts7:46
for feelers. These folks step forward and look at the effect on others. They value empathy,7:52
meaning being able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. They like to they see the exception to the rule.7:57
They like to please others and show appreciation easily. They may be seen as overly emotional, illogical8:03
or weak. They find it’s important to be tactful as well as truthful. They believe8:08
that feelings are valid when they make sense or not. They base decisions on subjective values. They actively8:13
look for qualities to praise in others they value and create harmonious environments8:19
they honor each person is a unique individual. They assess the impacts of their decision on others, and8:24
they work best in encouraging, supportive setting. So think about8:29
which dimension you came up with on the scale here and which of these traits resonate for you.8:34
How do you see yourself operating as either a thinker or feeler day to day?8:40
Next dimension and the final dimension, judging versus perceiving. So J versus P8:47
in a normal population, there’d be about a fifty five forty five percent split. But I8:52
have noticed working with business students that most of the students in the business8:58
school come up as a J. Not everybody. And there’s definitely room for the P’s, but9:03
J’s seem to be kind of a dominant trait for students who choose business. So let’s start with that one.9:08
So for Jay’s happiness, after decisions are made, work first play later, if there’s time,9:13
they’d like to set goals and work to achieve them. They’re more product oriented emphasis on completing the9:18
task. They get satisfaction from finishing projects. They see time as a finite9:23
resource. They take deadlines seriously. They enjoy having closure. They9:28
like to have things settled, like to plan and organize their world. They like9:34
roles and expectations to be clear, and they enjoy getting things done and being productive. And9:39
they like to plan ahead to avoid last minute stresses. Now when they’re using the word “Judging”9:44
here, they’re not saying that you are judgmental. They’re using that word in a little bit different way.9:49
So it’s more about how are you perceiving things sort of in a mental schema. So we don’t9:55
I don’t want you to associate that with being judgmental. They’re taking that in a different meaning.10:00
For P’s perceivers happiest leaving their options open, enjoy now finish10:05
the job later if there’s time, change goals as new information arises. Like adapting10:10
to a new plan, more process oriented emphasis on how the task gets completed.10:15
They get satisfaction from starting projects. They see time as a renewable resource.10:21
They see deadlines as elastic. That’s a nice way to say that, isn’t it? Keep things open ended10:26
as long as possible. Seek to experience and live life, not control it. And they’re able to10:31
adapt and be flexible and they’re energized by last minute pressures.10:36
So look at these two. And think about where you fell on that scale and how10:41
you see this trait showing up for you day to day.10:47
On the canvas page, I also posted this sheet that talks about occupational10:54
trends by Myers-Briggs type, so this is something that you might want to look over and you can see11:00
that each box contains a different four letter result and they’re giving you a window into what types11:05
of occupational or job trends might fit for that type. I’m going to look at11:10
my Myers-Briggs type I’ll share with you is E N F J. So if we11:15
look at that box, they say occupational trends are religion, arts, teaching,11:20
and the focus is to help others with their emotional, intellectual and spiritual growth. And I will say that is probably the part11:26
of teaching that I like the most. In this class we get to work a lot on11:31
helping you figure out what you want to do next in your lives and being reflective11:37
about your career path, helping you with resumes and things like that. So that is definitely a part of teaching11:42
I enjoy more than I enjoy having you come up with course policy use or having11:47
to develop grading rubrics and set standards and and discipline students.11:53
So I would say that that explanation of occupational trends fits well for me.11:58
Find your your own trend here, either on the screen or on the document,12:03
the attached it if needed. And ask yourself how that fits for you.12:08
It could be if it’s not a close fit. Then you want to look at where you fell on that12:15
scale and if there were any letters where you were more towards zero,12:20
then try on the opposite style for that, try on the opposite letter and see if that makes your whole12:26
Myers-Briggs type a better fit. So play with those a little bit. And if there are some where you were12:32
close or you were in the middle. Just now, you can swap to the other side and see if that makes more sense12:37
for you as we go through this. A few questions12:42
to consider as we think about Myers-Briggs type. What could be a job stressor for you in the workplace12:48
based on your type? One example could be a cubicle,12:53
an extrovert and an introvert might have a very different reaction to being asked to work in a cubicle.12:59
An extrovert might feel that they’re very confined. They’re not cut off from others and that they’re isolated,13:04
whereas an introvert might think, wow, this is a great space to really be, to work uninterrupted,13:10
to be able to have some quiet time to process my thoughts and get my work done on my own.13:15
But there could be other stressors to think about that just isolating for certain elements or13:21
for your type as a whole. What would make a job environment stressful for you13:26
versus supportive for you? What would you want others to know about working with your13:31
type? If you had someone from the other side who is your boss, your colleague, or your teammate,13:37
and you could tell them what everything they would need to know about working13:42
with your type. What is it that you would say? What are some window you could give them in to? How to best13:47
work with you or other people like you on a certain dimension? What would it help them to13:52
know? And then lastly, how can you best adapt your communication for the other type?13:58
So if you’re having a miscommunication with someone, these Myers-Briggs types is a good14:03
place to look. We don’t always know what someone else is type is officially, but you might be able14:08
to surmise from their behavior or their perspective in a given situation what their type14:13
is on a certain dimension, and then be able to adapt your communication based on that14:18
understanding. If you know that they’re more of a sensor who likes very concrete things and14:23
to take information in through their senses, then you’ll know if you’re creating14:28
a presentation for a boss like that to make it pretty linear and concrete.14:33
And you can use that information to adapt to your communication audience. So these14:38
are some questions you can think about as you do process your own Myers-Briggs type and you think about what14:43
the type of others in your personal relationships or your work relationships could be.14:48
So how these personal communication styles can help you: one, I think14:57
that it can help you understand yourself better. This is great self knowledge at this stage15:03
in your life when you’re beginning the job hunt for your professional post-college job,15:08
knowing your own style and kind of internalizing what these elements mean helps give you some vocabulary15:13
to wrap around the things that you do or don’t like in life. If you think, gosh,15:19
I had an internship last summer and I really didn’t like it, this may help you15:24
figure out why. Well maybe it was because you’re a thinker and you really15:29
enjoy doing analytical analysis. And instead that job had you doing dealing with other people’s15:35
emotions and having to use really people centered values all day long. So maybe that15:40
wasn’t a good fit for you. You know, this may just help you figure out and give some vocabulary15:45
to what do or don’t I like in a work environment and then how can I go seek those things15:50
out? So this is one way to kind of catalog our own interests and our own strengths and then be able to find15:55
environments and jobs that match those. The second thing I think that16:01
the way that this can help you is it helps you adapt your audience. Like I just touched on on the previous slide.16:06
But the Myers-Briggs is a framework that can help us adapt our communication to our audience. I personally16:12
am someone who thinks this is a really useful tool. I would love it if everybody had their marriage Briggs type tattooed16:17
right above their eyebrow so that as we go through our day we would know what another person’s style is16:22
and we could adapt our communication to them as needed. Obviously, that’s not the case. Some16:27
office environments or some companies really embrace this and they may ask you take this assessment16:32
as part of your work team. Sometimes people will post their Myers-Briggs type16:37
in their workspace or on their office door and different companies really embrace this16:42
as a common vocabulary for how to interact with each other. So look out for that. In the future you might encounter16:47
that. If so, you’ll you’ll be able to kind of remember this lesson and know that you heard about what this means16:53
before. But even without that being sort of a company, a shared company16:58
value or a company vocabulary, it can still help you one on one. Like I said, if you feel that you’re having17:03
a miscommunication with someone, go back to these dimensions and think where is it that we’re missing17:08
each other. And how could I help support someone who maybe has a different style than I have17:13
as I communicate with them and adapt to them? Lastly, we want to try to leverage all17:19
types, all types are valuable. There are no good or bad types here, and17:24
savvy organizations make use of all types of their best ability. So,17:29
as a boss, as a leader, as a colleague, as a teammate think about how can we leverage all the types of their best17:34
ability? How do we make sure each person is either getting supported if they need to stretch17:39
a little bit in a situation or that we’re setting them up for success where they17:44
can use the skills that we know they have and they can use their personal communication style17:49
to their best ability. At the end of each lesson,17:54
I’ll just ask you to reflect a little bit on what your takeaways are. What new information did18:00
you gain? Did you see something in a new way? What ideas could you see yourself using in the future18:05
and just reflect on that before you close out the video and thank you for listening.18:10
