Type Preferences
Most people find the two experiences different:
We all use both hands, but for writing, one is
natural, easy, and fast—we do it without thinking.
Writing with the nonpreferred hand feels
awkward, requires thought, takes longer—
and doesn’t produce the same result.
1.16
This is what Carl Jung and Isabel Myers—and the
MBTI®
instrument—mean by “preferences.”

Notes de l'éditeur
Clarify the objectives—the agreed-upon goals for the session. Then present the MBTI instrument as one of the tools you will use to achieve these goals.
Ask where the preference for one hand rather than the other originates. Groups will typically identify that it is innate. State that this is the position of Jung and the MBTI instrument on type preferences.
Explain that the MBTI instrument is different from most other personality inventories. Its purpose is to assist respondents in identifying what Jung called “inborn predispositions” to use their mind in certain ways. The MBTI instrument refers to these inborn predispositions as “preferences.” Most other personality inventories are designed to measure behavioral habits (traits) or skills people have developed.
Use the “handedness” activity (Activity 1.2).
Ask participants to come up with some words or phrases to describe the experience of signing their name the first time, the way they normally do. Write “Preferred hand” at the top of a flipchart sheet and jot down participants’ comments on the top half of the page.
Ask participants to come up with some words or phrases to describe the experience of signing their name the second time with the hand they don’t normally use. Write “Nonpreferred hand” about halfway down the page using a different-colored marker and jot down participants’ comments on the bottom half of the page.
Summarize: “We all use both hands, but for writing, using one hand feels comfortable, natural, and easy; requires no concentration; and is faster and more ‘like me.’ We can use the other hand if we have to, but, especially in the beginning, it feels awkward, requires thought and adjustment, takes longer, and doesn’t produce the same signature.”
Tell participants, “This is what the MBTI instrument and Jung mean by ‘preferences.’ We will be looking at four pairs of opposite preferences, or dichotomies. We all use both sides of each dichotomy, but one side is more natural for us. When we approach a situation or task where we can choose, it’s easiest, and most natural, to use that side.”
Spend about 15 minutes identifying what the MBTI instrument means by preference and how determining preferences is different from measuring skills.
Remind the group that determining one’s best-fit type is a process. Some participants may need more time to get clearer about their type. Tell them to get as clear as they can about what they are sure of and where they still have questions. For example, you might say, “It sounds as though you are clear that you prefer Sensing, Thinking, and Judging but you need more time to decide whether Extraversion or Introversion is the best fit for you.”
Define the E–I dichotomy and the two preferences. Lead participants in applying Extraversion and Introversion to their work: “Thinking of this group and the work it does, what might Extraversion contribute?” Jot down their answers on a flipchart sheet, helping them identify four or five “pluses” of Extraversion.
Then ask, “Thinking of this group and its functions, how might Extraversion get in the way?” Jot down their answers, helping them identify four or five “minuses” of Extraversion.
Follow the same process for Introversion.
Ask participants to self-assess their preference on the E–I dichotomy and indicate that preference by checking the box in the Introduction to Type® booklet, p. 9, next to E or I, or use a question mark if they are not sure.
Define the S–N dichotomy and the two preferences. Lead the participants in applying this information to their work: “When do we need to use Sensing information and perspectives? Is that easy or challenging for you personally?
When do we need to draw on Intuitive perspectives? Is that fun or challenging for you?”
Ask participants to self-assess their preference on S–N and check the appropriate box on p. 9 in the Introduction to Type® booklet.
Define the T–F dichotomy and the two preferences. Lead the group in applying this information: “What can go wrong if you don’t bring Thinking analysis and logic to decision making? What can derail decisions if you don’t use Feeling in your decision-making process?”
Ask participants to self-assess their preference on T–F and check the appropriate box on p. 10 in the Introduction to Type® booklet.
Define the J–P dichotomy and the two preferences. Lead the group in applying this information: “Use the pluses and minuses again, as you did with E–I.”
Ask participants to self-assess their preference on J–P and check the appropriate box on p. 10 in the Introduction to Type® booklet.
Go to the type verification process outlined in Activity 1.3. Ask participants to write their self-assessed type in the box provided on p. 11 in the Introduction to Type® booklet. Hand out their MBTI results, telling them, “Here’s a report on how you responded to the MBTI items. Your task is to decide on a best-fit type—the four preferences that seem to fit you best.” Follow the process outlined of reading the type descriptions and so on.
Ask participants to write their MBTI results on p. 11 of the Introduction to Type® booklet as their second hypothesis and compare the two hypotheses.
Depending on the goals of the session, this may be the time to ask participants to sign in on the type table (if you have provided one). Remind them that you want them to sign in using their best-fit type and use Activity 1.4, “Sixteen-Room House Analogy for the Type Table.”
Remind the team of Isabel Myers’ goal for using type: the constructive use of differences.
Differences are tolerated in the workplace—it’s the law!
Most people have learned to respect, even admire, some of the different strengths and skills in others.
“Constructive use” is another level of appreciating differences. It is based on the conviction that if two people of different types can negotiate their differences to work together, the final product will be superior to what either of them could have achieved on his or her own.
Show one or both of the national representative samples of types of adults (U.S. and/or U.K.). Ask participants what patterns they notice in those samples and what the implications of those patterns are for their group.
Point out that their internal or external customers are likely to be more like the national representative sample than like their group in terms of their type distribution. What are the implications of that fact?
