22. WHAT IS MBTi?
• A standardized indicator (not a test!) which is used
throughout the world
• No right or wrong answers
• The MBTi looks only at normal behavior and is used
to create higher self awareness
• There are no good or bad types – all types have
some natural strengths and some possible pitfalls
or blind spots
• Based on the typological theories proposed by Carl
Gustav Jung
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
23. Behind MBTI
Jung's Theory – Basic Mental Processes
We take in information
We make decisions about
information
Perception
Judgement
Sensing
Intuition
You can't use both methods of taking
in information simultaneously, so we
develop a preference for using one
method over another
Thinking
Feeling
You can't use both methods of making
judgments simultaneously, so we
develop a preference for using one
method over another
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
24. JUNG’S THEORY
• Jung believed that preferences are an innate inborn
predisposition
• He also recognized that our innate preferences
interact with and are shaped by environmental
influences:
• – Family
– Country
– Education
– and many more
!
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
25. JUNG’S THEORY
• We will look at four sets of opposites – like our right
and left hands
• We all use both sides, but one is our natural
preference
• Jung believed that our preferences do not change –
they stay the same over our lifetime
• What changes is how we use our preferences and
often the accuracy with which we can measure the
preferences
!
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
29. E-I
People who prefer Extraversion:
• Focus their energy and attention outward
• Are interested in the world of people and things
People who prefer Introversion:
• Focus their energy and attention inward
• Are interested in the inner world of thoughts and
reflections
We all use both preferences but usually not with
equal comfort
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
30. Sensing or iNtuition
SENSING OR INTUITION
The way we take in information and the
kind of information we like and trust
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
32. S-N
People who prefer Sensing:
• Prefer to take in information using their five senses
– sight, sound, feel, smell, and taste
People who prefer iNtuition:
• Go beyond what is real or concrete and focus on
meaning, associations, and relationships
• We all use both ways of perceiving but we typically
prefer and trust one more than the other
!
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
35. S-N
People who prefer Thinking:
• Make their decisions based on impersonal, objective
logic
People who prefer Feeling:
• Make their decisions with a person-centered, valuebased process
Both processes are rational and we use both of them,
but usually not equally easy
!
!
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
36. Judging or Perceiving
JUDGING OR PERCEIVING
Our attitude to the external world and
how we orient ourselves to it
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
38. J-P
People who prefer Judging:
• Want the external world to be organized and
orderly
• Look at the world and see decisions that need to be
made
People who prefer Perceiving:
• Seek to experience the world, not to organize and
control it
• Look at the world and see options that need to be
explored
We all use both attitudes but usually not with equal
comfort
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
39. THERE ARE VARIATIONS WITHIN EACH TYPE
AND MBTI DOES NOT MEASURE:
• Intelligence
• IQ
• Affluence
• Stress
• Normalcy
• Trauma
• Maturity
• Psychiatric Illness
• Illness
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
42. WORKING WITH DIFFERENT TYPES
• Look at the chart
• What is your initial reaction? Surprised?
• What challenge exists in working in a group that
has a different "group type" than your own type?
• What actions might you take to work together more
effectively?
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
43. E - I SPLITTING EXERCISE
• In your groups, create 3 questions that will give
you better insight into the opposite to your
preference on this dichotomy
• Elect a spokesperson who will actually ask the
questions
• What were some of the Observable Behavioural
Differences you notice between E’s and I’s?
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
46. GROUP ASSIGNMENT
• Write down your MBTI indicators on a piece of paper
together with you strengths and areas of development
• In the groups, discuss each others profiles and
competences. It there anything lacking in your group?
Do you have too much of something?
• You are allowed to swap team members with the other
groups - but you can not swap yourself.
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
47. • You can not swap yourself!
• The person being swapped must agree to being swapped!
• We need 5 groups at roughly the same size!
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
50. GROUP ASSIGNMENT
• The preject is the initial phase of any project
• This where we clarify goals and expectations - to each
other and to the project
• We get to know each other better and identify potential
pitfalls
• The preject is fundamental to the continued group
process
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
52. CONDUCT A PREJECT IN THE GROUPS
Step 1:
• Clarification (how do we interpret the project and the
desired outcome)
• Check in (personal goals / ambition / preoccupations
with the project)
• Define guidelines (how will we work together)
• Define the vision, milestones and success criteria.
• How do we know when we have succeeded and how
will we celebrate?
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
53. CONDUCT A PREJECT IN THE GROUPS
Step 2:
• Find name for the group/project
• Create a Tumblr-blog to document your progress
• Document the preject physically and on your blog
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
55. IN THE GROUPS
• Read the brief and discuss it in the group
• How do you understand the brief?
• What motivates or scares you?
• Is anything unclear? What need to be investigated?
• What do you need to ask the client?
• What is the first step?
• Park concrete ideas for implementation or the product
on one of the large post-its
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
57. POWERFUL QUESTIONS
• Powerful questions are open-ended, and can not be answered with a simple
yes or no.
• Their purpose is to initiate a thought process
• They originate from the coaches curiosity and eager to know more
!
• They typically begin with what or how:
• What do you want?
• What will that get you?
• What are the possibilities?
• How do you wish to achieve that?
• Put yourself six month into the future. Standing there, what decisions would
you make today?
!
• Give space and time. Do not fear the silence!
• Do not necessarily rephrase – repeat the question
PROJECT KICK-OFF 28TH OF OCT 2013
