Interaction Styles. Interaction Styles are groupings of the 16 types of the MBTI instrument of psychometrics and Jungian psychology.

Interaction Styles

The Interaction Styles model was developed by Linda Berens, PhD, founder of the Temperament Research Institute. This model builds on David Keirsey's Temperament model and its subcategories, and is based on observable behavior patterns that are quite similar to David Merrill's "Social Styles" and William Moulton Marston's DiSC theory. Development[edit] Linda V. Berens, another doctor of Psychology and a former student of Keirsey, would also use a similar system, pairing the Interaction Styles (which were implicit in Keirsey's system) with both the temperaments and the cognitive processes. Comparison and cross-mapping with Keirseyan Temperament[edit] In addition to the E/I and Directing/Informing categories, there is also "Attention: Focus and Interest (Control/Movement)", which pairs the diametric opposite styles.

Personal Growth

We all have different goals and priorities, which means that different activities and attitudes will make us feel good about ourselves. We also have different natural strengths and weaknesses that are a part of our inherent personality type. How then, as individuals, can we feel successful in our lives? Each personality type has a different idea of what it means to be successful. Self-knowledge is one common goal that will help everyone achieve personal success. While improving our self-knowledge and realizing our true goals can be very liberating, we should not discard the rules of the society in which we live.

For example, there are situations in which it is more appropriate and effective to show compassion and caring (Feeling), rather than impersonal logic (Thinking).
