There is one tool to understand differences between people that we find clients have heard of most.  That is MBTI – Myers Briggs Type Indicator.  There is LOADS about this online.  This summary here  is what we use to refresh and introduce newcomers to the model.  There are four things it covers in helping explore the preferences that contribute to who we are, and why we can find others so maddening or delightful.

As well as the reluctance to be pigeon holed, that some have against this model, there are a whole lot of ways we differ it doesn’t address too:

The standard sociological six: class, gender, ethnicity, disability, age, sexuality

And some others: creativity, curiosity, energy, perseverance, propensity to take responsibility, humour, drive for ego and power and status….

More on  MBTI to come, but maybe first…thinking of home and work examples, what do you think your preferences might be….?
