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.

We have 'Members' who subscribe annually to be part of BAPT, in return for access to 'TypeFace' the quarterly magazine, the BAPT Library of books related to Type, and other resources. BAPT is run by 'the Board' of Trustees who are currently all voluntary. Typeface Editor and Assistant Editor are also voluntary. This page sets out the key policies BAPT use in running membership, events and the website for the benefit of members. These policies may be changed from time to time without specific notice to members. 2. Conference and Other Events Payment and discounts Unless otherwise stated, the full conference fees include delegate materials as appropriate (minimising the use of paper where possible). The in-person full-conference fees include materials and refreshments. Others expenses such as travel, accommodation, lunch and dinner must be met by the delegate. The cost and the inclusions of other events will be determined by the Board on an individual event basis, depending on the specific context of each event. Online events will include breaks for delegates to get their own refreshments , and supporting materials will be available for download and printing if wished. We can accept payment by credit/debit card via PayPal, and this will be part of the online registration process. ** The PayPal email confirmation is your receipt which you should print if required.** We regret that we cannot accept payment by American Express. All fees must be paid for prior to an event. We reserve the right to close registration for an event early if the attendance limit for a venue has been reached. Cancellations and changes Cancellation policies can be found on the registration page of each event , should delegates need to cancel their booking. This covers BAPT’s committed costs in respect of the event, which may change from one year to the next. We reserve the right to consider individual extenuating circumstances in relation to such cancellations. However, substitute delegates can be accepted at no extra charge if BAPT is notified in writing/email no less than 7 working days before an in-person event or within 2 days of an online event. All cancellations or requests for transfer are to be made in writing/email to membership@bapt.org.uk Speakers and detailed timings for an event may alter, and changes posted in the online programme as soon as possible. In the very remote chance that a conference is cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control, all delegates and sponsors would be informed of any changes at the earliest possible opportunity by email. BAPT will not be held liable for cancellation in circumstances beyond our control. If we have to cancel, we will refund delegate and sponsorship fees paid, but we will not be responsible for any other losses that delegates or sponsors may have incurred. Delegate list & photography To aid networking during and after our events, the names of delegates and their email addresses may be included in a list of delegates made available on the day, and this will be clear on the Registration form.

At online events, we normally video the event and use all or part of the videos through our media channels. We may sometimes also take screen shots which may have participants visible. By agreeing to these terms and conditions, delegates hereby grant BAPT the right to use such images in the same ways as in-person photographs. 3.

The British Association for Psychological Type's Q&A session with Sue Blair. Type Q&A Type Q & A… A NEW BAPT INITIATIVE to answer YOUR questions. Have you ever had a Type question but didn’t know who to ask? Have you ever wondered who may be available to chat to you about it? Have you ever scrolled through the Internet or AI but not found ‘someone’ who understands the context of your question? As Type practitioners, or enthusiasts, it’s good to find a homebase. A place, and person, who understands Type and is prepared to talk, explore your questions and (hopefully) answer them or (at least) head you in a new direction that can unlock some different thinking. Sue Blair, BAPT's Director of Education and Special Projects has been working with Type for over 20 years in a wide range of situations. She may not be able to answer everything, but she is quite likely to know where to go for some help. Click here to find out more about Sue and her role on the BAPT board. Please join us once a month for an open forum session, usually with a theme (which we won’t mind straying from), that enhances your understanding. It’s really over to you. At the very least we will catch up, find friends and enjoy being part of the global Type community. Just for one hour, every other month. Let’s see where this takes us!

< Back René Bujard International, and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) INFP BAPT.international@personality-type.uk René has acquired a broad HR generalist background through a mix of business partner and technical mastery roles in various countries around the world, and brings a strong strategic multi-functional approach rooted in operational experience, successfully demonstrated in the for- and non-profit sectors. René is currently the HR Director EMEA for Sunstar, a global family-owned health care company founded in Japan 90 years ago and now headquartered in Switzerland. His prior positions were with Galderma, as HR Director Global R&D, and as Global Human Resources Director for Oxfam International, a INGO fighting inequality and poverty around the world. The first part of his career was with Procter & Gamble, a consumer goods company, in various HR assignments in Belgium, Singapore, Switzerland, the UK and the USA. In the past 20 years, René has developed a passion and deep competence in the area of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I), a powerful organizational strategy to boost individual development and business results which is still misunderstood and therefore under-utilized, even by well-intended leaders. René role models how straight while males can empower women, LGBT+ staff, racial, ethnic and other minority groups to reach their full potential, thus benefitting everyone, including themselves. His introduction to DE&I came through the MBTI. His preference for INFP helped him recognize early on that non-visible variables such as personality type need to be integrated into DE&I programs. At P&G, he created a unique 3-tiered centre of excellence qualifying 100+ MBTI ® practitioners globally, which included the establishment of regional capability teams, the qualification of 10+ internal masters, and using published studies to design new themed team events to meet the evolving needs of the business. He has used MBTI throughout his career for executive coaching, team building, team effectiveness, and more. René holds a Master degree in Commercial and Industrial Sciences from the University of Geneva. He is a Swiss citizen, his wife is British and they have two daughters who study in the UK.
