  • Sue Blair | BAPT

    < Back Sue Blair Director of Events ESTJ BAPT.events@personality-type.uk Sue brings a wealth of knowledge in Psychological Type having been involved with Type communities around the world for over 20 years. She has a professional background in sales and management. She was Business Development Manager at the technology subsidiary of British Airways before leaving to raise a family in New Zealand. Unsurprisingly, life changed considerably at this point. Raising children is predictably challenging, time consuming and thought provoking with stress, exhaustion and joy thrown into the mix. The parenting role was definitely a massive training ground with a steep learning curve which continues, no matter how old your children are. A love of Type developed as it became the golden thread through the parenting journey that helped each of her family members to thrive. After completing the MBTI qualification programme she set up her own company, Personality Dynamics. For the past twenty-four years she has worked as a coach, presenter and facilitator in a wide range of situations; starting with parenting courses and going on to work with youth development, careers advisers, educators at all levels and also going back to corporates running team building and leadership programmes. Her work has always centred around Type. She is also the creator of The Personality Puzzles, these are coaching card resources now used worldwide by coaches and therapists to create meaningful conversations whilst supporting learning about Type. There are versions of the cards for adults, teens and educators. Having started on the board as Director of Education, she has now taken on the role of Director of Events. Sue will co-ordinate a varied programme of webinars, Type Q & A sessions, online conferences as well as an in-person conference every 18 months. She would welcome any input from members on events that may appeal. Please feel free to be in touch by email at BAPT.events@personality-type.uk The metaphorical door is always open, and she would be delighted to hear from you.

  • Doris Fuellgrabe | BAPT

    < Back Doris Fuellgrabe Europe, Online Coach Contact www.dorisfullgrabe.com About About myself and how I use Type: I'm a German Gen Xer with ENFJ preferences, married to a Spanish INTP, so it's no exaggeration when I say: Type saved my marriage. It's not the only framework I use to better understand myself and others; I believe people are much too complex for any one tool. But I love its versatility and flexibility, and it's still the best developmental approach I've found. Services I'm a Type and Relationship Coach and offer training workshops for teams and groups, as well as individual and couples sessions. My work helps people expand relational intelligence, in part by making the unconscious conscious. I especially welcome clients who are navigating intimacy issues, e.g. desire differences and emotional reconnection. Previous Next

  • What is Personality Type? | BAPT

    Personality can be described as the habitual ways in which people think, feel, and act on most occasions, or all the qualities and characteristics a person exhibits. A person's behaviour can be described as actual acts, observable, and the result of a complex mix of factors. What is Personality Type? *Content is adapted from the MBTI Practitioner Learning Module. Personality can be described as the habitual ways in which people think, feel, and act on most occasions, or all the qualities and characteristics a person exhibits. A person's behaviour can be described as actual acts, observable, and the result of a complex mix of factors. Psychological type is the term used to describe the 16 personalities in the Myers-Briggs system, based on the work of mother and daughter team Katherine C. Briggs and Isabel B. Myers. Briggs and Myers studied the theory of personality presented by Carl G. Jung in his seminal work ‘Psychological Types’, (1921). They applied his ideas to family and friends and furthered their understanding, developing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) instrument to help make Jung’s theory understandable and useful in people’s lives. Drawing on her mother’s research, Myers began writing items and testing them using a small criterion group whose types she was confident of. Through this process, she developed increasingly robust forms of the MBTI instrument. Importantly, the Myers-Briggs system describes healthy, normal, and natural differences between people and provides a positive language to discuss and respect them. The terms ‘psychological type’ and ‘personality type’ are used interchangeably to mean the same thing. Psychological type is one feature of Jung's broad understanding of psychological functioning. Jung observed that normal, healthy people had opposite ways of dealing with the world and processing and evaluating what happened around them. Based on both his observations and extensive clinical experience, he concluded that people tended to use their mind in opposite ways in several areas. Jung's Psychological Type Theory The Mental Processes Jung observed that individuals tended to have opposite ways of perceiving (taking in information) and judging (coming to conclusions or making judgements about what they have perceived). He called the two opposite ways of perceiving Sensation (sensing in MBTI usage) and Intuition . The opposite ways of judging he termed Thinking and Feeling . Sensation, Intuition, Thinking and Feeling are referred to as the mental processes . Jung stated that people use all four of these mental processes in daily life but tend to be naturally drawn to just one of the oppositive ways of perceiving and one of the opposite ways of judging. These two preferred mental processes are central to Jung's theory of psychological types. Opposite Orientations Jung had earlier observed that individuals tended to focus their attention and energy on, and to be more energised by, one or two opposite orientations: Extraversion: Orientation toward the outer world of people, objects, and activities. Introversion: Orientation toward the inner world of ideas, memories, thought, reflection and experiences. Everyone typically prefers one of these opposites over the other and uses it most comfortably and automatically. Development of the Types These three opposite ways of using one's mind (Extraversion or Introversion, Sensing or Intuition, and Thinking or Feeling) are the essence of Jung's type theory and subsequently of the MBTI instrument. Jung, Myers, and Briggs all believed that each individual has an innate disposition to develop a preference for one or the other side of each pair of opposites, to use their preferences more comfortably and more often that their opposites, and to develop personality characteristics that result from exercising their preferences. Further, they stated that their interactions among these personality preferences form distinct personality types. The Role of the Environment It can be inferred from Jung's writings that he saw the environment as influencing personality development. Family, cultural norms, education, training, and other environmental factors may support, suppress, or modify the ways people use and express their innate preferences. Both nature and nurture play a role in individual development. The MBTI assessment is designed to assist respondents in identifying the nature part of their personality - their innate dispositions. The characteristics associated with the mental processes and orientations E/I S/N T/F J/P Where you focus your energy and attention Directing energy mainly toward the outer world of people, objects, activities, and action. People who prefer Extraversion like to focus on the outside world. They direct their energy and attention outward and are energised by interacting with people and taking action. Directing energy mainly toward the inner world of thoughts, impressions, and ideas. People who prefer Introversion like to focus on their own inner world. They direct their energy and attention inward and are energised by reflecting on their own and others' ideas, memories, and experiences. Extraversion (E) Focus attention outwards Trust and are most comfortable in the outside world Energised by interacting with others and from taking action Ideas develop by talking them out with others Works things out by talking Have a broad range of interests and friends Expressive Do not like to spend much time in own company Like to interact with large groups and many people Learns best by talking things through Are comfortable taking the initiative at work and in social situations Introversion (I) Focus attention inwards Observe before deciding whether or not to interct Trust and most comfortable in their inner world Learn best by observing, reading, writing, reflecting Works things out internally Energised by thoughts and taking in experiences Think through ideas before discussing them Have a deeper and smaller range of interests and friends Contained Content to spend a considerable amount of time in own company Like to interact with small groups Tend to focus in depth on a few interests Take the initiative when required by the situation or when the issue is important Watch our animation video 'Extraversion v Introversion' What type of information you prefer to use & trust Focusing mainly on what can be perceived by the five senses. People who prefer Sensing like to take information that is real and tangible - what they perceive using the five senses. They pay close attention to what is going on around them and are especially attuned to practical realities. Focusing mainly on perceiving patterns and interrelationships People who prefer Intuition like to take in information by seeing the bigger picture, focusing on the relationships and connections between facts. They look for patterns and are especially attuned to seeing new possibilities. Sensing (S) Focus on what can be experienced and verified Observe and remember specific facts and details Trust experience Prefer to attend to and trust tangible and real information Like to have the details Want to see a practical use Are focused on the present Like to verify information Tend to remember details and facts Observant Realistic Build carefully and thoroughly toward conclusions Understand ideas and theoeries through practical applications Intuition (N) Focus on patterns, meanings, and interconnections Observe and remember relationships among ideas and events Trust inspiration Move quickly to conclusions, follow hunches Want to clarify ideas and theories before putting them into practice Prefer to attend to and trust ideas and inspiration Like theories and ideas Are focused on the future Trust inspiration and vision Like to try out ideas Tend to see the big picture Enjoy using imagination Watch our animation video 'Sensation v Intuition' How you make decisions or evaluate things Basing conclusions on logical analysis with a goal of accuracy and impartial truth. People who prefer Thinking like to decide things by looking at the logical consequences of their choice or action. They want to mentally remove themselves from the situation so they can examine the pros and cons objectively. They enjoy analysing what's wrong with something so they can solve the problem. Their goal is to find a standard or principle that will apply in all similar situations. Basing conclusions on values-centred criteria with a goal of personal and social harmony. People who prefer to use Feeling like to decide things by considering what's important to them and to others involved. They mentally insert themselves into the situation to identify with everyone so they can make decisions that honour people. They enjoy appreciating and supporting others, and look for qualities to praise. Their goal is to create harmony and treat each person as a unique individual. Thinking (T) Step back from the situation to get an objective view Consider universal principles when deciding Use logic: cause and effect reasoning, pros and cons Analytical Reasonable Fair - want everyone treated equally Can be 'tough-minded' Tend to step out of a situation and look at it objectively Find that empathising interferes with satisfactory decision making Strive for a clear, objective standard of truth See log and reason as the best criteria for decision making Like their decisions to be implemented once the decision is made Have difficulty accepting the validity of a Feeling approach Feeling (F) Step into the situation to connect with those involved Use empathy to understand everyone's point of view Are guided by personal and social values Find that using impersonal principles ignores individual differences Use values: what is important to them and to others Tend to step into a situation and identify with it Strive for understanding, harmony and positive outcomes for all See every person and situation as unique, use empathy to make decisions May delay implementing a decision by looking for a win-win solution See the Thinking approach as cold and unfeeling May appear 'tender hearted' Fair - want everyone treated as an individual How you deal with the world around you Preferring the decisiveness and closure that result from dealing with the outside world using one of the judging processes (T or F). People who prefer Judging like to live in a planned, orderly way. They tend to make decisions based on the current available information, come to closure, and move on. Their lives tend to be structured and organised, and they like to have things settled. Sticking to a plan and schedule is very important to them, and they enjoy getting things done. Preferring the flexibility and spontaneity that result from dealing with the outside world using one of the perceiving processes (S or N). People who prefer Perceiving like to live in a flexible, spontaneous way, and want to experience and understand life rather than control it. Detailed plans and final decisions feel confining to them, they prefer to stay open to new information and last-minute options. They enjoy being resourceful in adapting to the opportunities and demands of the moment. Judging (J) Like to plan in advance Scheduled Like to organise their lives Want to arrive at closure quickly Tend to try and organise and structure the outer world Are energised & satisfied by getting closure Like to be organised and planned Make short and long term plans Can be seen as decisive Stressed by last minute rushes Tend to compartmentalise and order things Methodical Plan in advance to ensure that they achieve their goals Want to adhere to plans once they are made Plan so as to avoid last-minute pressure and stress Perceiving (P) Like to go with the flow Tend to be flexible and spontaneous Prefer to continue to gather information rather than come to closure Tend to want to experience life as it comes Prefer to leave options open Feel constrained by plans and structure Adapt, change course Can be seen as casual or laid back Energised by last minute rushes Tend to see things as open ended Appear spontaneous Dislike being locked in by too much advance planning Want freedom to change plans when new options arise Often find approaching deadlines energising and motivating You are the best judge of your type, so it’s up to you to make the final decision about your type. Your MBTI type preference is just an indicator of your possible type. Also, remember, whilst learning about your own type is very useful for personal development, it is also important to learn about the other types so that you can relate to them better. Once you have decided which of the two attitudes and four functions are your likely preferences, read the description about it. If you have still not decided which four letters best suit you, read a few descriptions and see which one best describes you. Explore your type The 16 Types in Brief The four letters of your MBTI type combine and interact with each other to give your whole psychological type. There are 16 possible combinations that result when one preference from each of the four pairs of opposites (E-I, S-N, T-F, and J-P) combine. These combinations are called personality types , or psychological types, and are designated by the four letters representing their four component preferences. Each type is greater than the sum of its parts, the preferences interact dynamically to create a hierarchy of preference within the processes (S, N, T, and F), from most to least preferred. The specific ways in which the preferences in each type interact were identified by Jung and expanded on by Myers and Briggs. The dynamic nature of personality type is the essence of the Jung psychological theory and the MBTI framework. Here are short descriptions of each of the 16 Personality Types in Brief . Each type will have things in common with adjacent types, with types in the same half of the table and in the same column or row. You may see aspects of yourself in several of the descriptions, however there should be one that describes you at your most comfortable.

  • The 16 MBTI Types: Key Words | BAPT

    The Myers and Briggs Foundation describes the Myers-Briggs system as consisting of four preference pairs that reflect different aspects of personality—opposite ways to direct and receive energy through Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I), take in information with Sensing (S) or Intuition (N), come to conclusions using Thinking (T) or Feeling (F), and approach the outside world through Judging (J) or Perceiving (P). 16 Types: Key Words The Myers and Briggs Foundation describes the Myers-Briggs system as consisting of four preference pairs that reflect different aspects of personality—opposite ways to direct and receive energy through Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I), take in information with Sensing (S) or Intuition (N), come to conclusions using Thinking (T) or Feeling (F), and approach the outside world through Judging (J) or Perceiving (P). Most people find that one preference, in a preference pair, best describes their natural way of doing things, where they feel the most comfortable being themselves, outside of any roles they play in life. When the letters for each of these preferences are combined, 16 distinct personality types form which consist of different characteristics unique to that type.

    < Back Isobel Webster Board Secretary INFJ BAPT.secretary@personality-type.uk My early training is in pastoral ministry and becoming a Type practitioner in 1994 was invaluable to all areas of ministry life - counselling, team building and understanding people dynamics; I have since been working for a human rights charity and again an understanding of Type helps in every area of work and daily life. I am enthusiastic about Type because when people understand Type they are generally more accepting, encouraging and supportive and have the potential to be happier and more peaceful. My enthusiasm for Type is why I am delighted to help out as Secretary to the Board of BAPT.
