Myers Briggs Thinking & Feeling, Judging & Perceiving

This podcast is the last in a series of 3 which explore the personality type theory of Myers Briggs.

This one looks at:

How people prefer to make decisions –Logic and objectivity or values and relationships?

How people live their lives – Planned and organised or spontaneous and adaptable?

It will give you some clues as to:

Why some people want to be recognised for their achievements while others need to be appreciated for their efforts.

Why some people love to start things off…while others love to finish them!

If you’d like to know more about your personality type or those of your team members, check out our Myers Briggs courses, run by qualified Myers Briggs practitioners. Special Offers apply.

Myers Briggs - Communication Exercise, Great Icebreaker



Extract from a conference speech in which Gavin from think training demonstrates how tricky communication is using the worlds most common word... sex!!

Apparently as a human being you can take in two million bits of information per second. it seems the majority of this information is dealt with by our sub conscious.

Consciously we can deal with about 7 chunks of information when you give out your phone number you usually break it down into two or three segments. why because we cant cope with things above 7.

So your sub conscious has great control on how you act, communicate, think. live your lives think about it you dont notice the fact you are breathing you do this unconsciously you would want to breathe consciously you would be knackered!

Have you ever driven somewhere and wondered how you got there. scary is it perhaps its not a bad thing that your sub conscious is taking you to your destination (it can deal with 2 million bits of info per second). Remember when you learnt how to drive you drive very consciously its difficult.

All of this makes communication very difficult because we delete, distort, see what we believe etc etc

For instructions on how to carry out the exercise follow this link: Communication exercise - great icebreaker
