How do you perceive the world? In this animation video we introduce Sensing (S) and Intuition (N). We explain the two different ways of perceiving our outer and inner worlds in a visual and musical way. This animation video was produced by BAPT member, Josh Leach. Script, Animation, Voiceover and Music by Josh Leach, BAPT member Script and Production by Jerry Gilpin, BAPT Treasurer Editing by Shaun Hill

In this animation video we explore two different decision-making styles, Thinking and Feeling, and how they can be Extraverted or Introverted.

How is introversion different from extraversion? And what's this 'ambivert' thing that everyone's talking about? It's NOT actually about how sociable you are. We hope this little explainer video can help you understand the differences. Produced by Josh Leach, BAPT member.
