Based on the research of Carl Jung◦ Proposed and developed the concepts of:

Extroverted and the introverted personality Conscious mind Collective unconscious

◦ Believed in five archetypes (states of being): The Body

Unification of unconsciousness and consciousness of an individual – YOUR PERSONALITY

The Shadow Life instincts such as repressed ideas, weaknesses,

desires, instincts, and shortcomings – YOUR DARK SIDE

The Anima / Animus Represented as the feminine image in the male psyche

and the male image in the female psyche Theorized that we sometimes repress our anima /

animus depending on the situation – MACHISIMO, SENSITIVITY, TYPE A vs TYPE B PERSONALITY

The Persona How we present ourselves to the world (derived from a

Latin word that means “mask”) – HOW WE BEHAVE IN DIFFERENT SOCIAL SETTINGS

Developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers

Developed during WW2 to help women entering the workforce for the first time in identifying the type of war-time jobs they would be most comfortable and effective.

Designed to look at the rational (judging) functions: thinking and feeling

As well as the “irrational” (perceiving) functions: sensing and intuition

How we focus our attention or get our energy (extraversion vs. introversion)

How we perceive or take in information(sensing or intuition)

How we prefer to make decision(thinking or feeling)

How we orient ourselves to the external world(judgment or perception)

Viewed as hard workers who are goal oriented

As leaders and managers, we must recognize our own strengths and weaknesses

Sometimes we have to tailor our conversations so that the other person can understand in the way that they think as opposed to how we are presenting the information

Embrace your individuality! There is nothing “wrong” with you – in fact,

most of us are a little off for doing this job, right?

If there is someone in your life that you do not get along with, could learning about your personality type affect that relationship in the future? Maybe.
