Understanding MBTI Type Dynamics "It is up to each person to recognize his or her true preferences." Isabel Briggs Myers "It is up to each person to recognize his or her true preferences." Isabel Briggs Myers Abandoned Island in the Middle of NYC Data.gov The Myers & Briggs Foundation - My MBTI® Results Learning about your personality type may begin with something very small, maybe one key insight. As your interest and knowledge grows, you can then explore your personality more deeply and how you best like to communicate and interact with others. During a basic MBTI® feedback session, you receive a profile report of your MBTI results. MBTI reports tell you your preference for each of four pairs: Extraversion or Introversion E or I Sensing or Intuition S or N Thinking or Feeling T or F Judging or Perceiving J or P The four preferences together make up your whole type. When you receive your MBTI profile, you might not agree with it. Sometimes circumstances of your life can lead you to answer the questions on the MBTI instrument so that your reported MBTI type does not reflect your true preferences. Occasionally, even after going through the steps to choose your best-fit type, you may remain uncertain about your MBTI preferences. MBTI reports tell you your preference for each of four pairs:
Lighter Sesame Chicken Lighter Sesame Chicken satisfies my craving for Chinese take-out, without all the calories that usually come along with it. Well hello there, how was your weekend? :) Besides meeting some friends for an impromptu wild Friday night out (oy,) finally watching The Vow on Saturday afternoon (omg what a horribly sad movie, right?!) and witnessing the Hawkeyes get spanked (SPANKED) later that night, there actually isn’t too much to report on from the home front! The past couple of weeks have been kind of stressful, what with deadlines, projects, presentations, and visualizing a happy ending to a large foodie event I’m involved in a few weeks down the road (details to come,) so I welcomed the chance to zone out and recharge the batts, if you will. As Luca Spaghetti said in the film Eat, Pray, Love (which I also watched this weekend): “Americans. Uhhh, touche, Signor Spaghetti. Enough of zee whining though, I got another Take-Out Fake-Out recipe for ya’ today! Then add 1/4 cup honey. Time to cook!
eBizMBA | The eBusiness Guide Jungian Models applied to global corporations: Kings, warriors, magicians and lover archetypes | stOttilien Recently I attended yet another team building “Engagement workshop”. It occurred to me, while I do understand that this sector in a well performing multinational corporation has rather particular objectives by its mission, why it has such multiple and interesting cultural contexts. Culture is something we all experience, but have great difficulties defining. Personal Layers The cork is tossed about at the whim of the cruel sea unless we get a handle of the nature of the true Self (of which we are only dimly aware, if at all) via the reflective process . Conscious layer The conscious portion of the organization is the public face and its visible set of structure and processes. Mission, strategy and goals: Why are we all here in this organization? Personal unconscious layer The organizational unconscious are clusters of energies, beliefs and truths that bridge between the conscious organization and the collective unconscious. Shhs don’t ask don’t tell Collective unconscious layer Like this:
Body Language - Eyes Techniques > Use of body language > Parts-of-the-body language > Eyes body language Up | Down | Sideways | Gazing | Glancing | Eye contact | Staring | Squinting | Blinking | Winking | Closing | Damp | Tears | Pupil size | Rubbing | See also The eyes are often called, with some justification, 'the windows of the soul' as they can send many different non-verbal signals. For reading body language this is quite useful as looking at people's eyes are a normal part of communication (whilst gazing at other parts of the body can be seen as rather rude). When a person wears dark glasses, especially indoors, this prevents others from reading their eye signals. It is consequently rather disconcerting, which is why 'gangsters' and those seeking to appear powerful sometimes wear them. Looking up When a person looks upwards they are often thinking. When they are delivering a speech or presentation, looking up may be their recalling their prepared words. Looking down Looking sideways Lateral movement Gazing

Personality models and Meta-Data – the Big Five (Eyes) and MBTI | stOttilien This is a short snippet, not an analysis but a warning to watch your friendly data collector near to you and your friendly government’s use of phobias. A paper published in the Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Social Computing, Behavioral-Cultural Modeling and Prediction shows that collected communication and social network trails, may turn out to be of highly personal character if not even of psychoanalytical use. Meta-Data prediction models are not perfect yet, but they have a huge potential. A group of US and French researchers found that personality of the speaker on the phone could be reliably predicted by the way he or she makes calls. What Metadata can do for you The researchers, Yves-Alexandre de Montjoye, Jordi Quoidbach, Florent Robic and Alex Pentland used the 36 easy-to-obtain metadata elements, which fall into five categories: Basic phone use including the number of calls; Regularity of calling routine; The Big Five Model C. Example Based on C. Conclusion Related
Food The Myers & Briggs Foundation - The Eight Function Attitudes As we explore MBTI® type in depth, you will note that each of the eight functions can be expressed in either the inner world or the outer world. Sometimes the same function looks very different in one world than in the other. Here are some descriptions of the functions in each world. Extraverted Sensing: Acts on concrete data from here and now. Trusts the present, then lets it go. Introverted Sensing: Compares present facts and experiences to past experience. Extraverted Intuition: Sees possibilities in the external world. Introverted Intuition: Looks at consistency of ideas and thoughts with an internal framework. Extraverted Thinking: Seeks logic and consistency in the outside world. Introverted Thinking: Seeks internal consistency and logic of ideas. Extraverted Feeling: Seeks harmony with and between people in the outside world. Introverted Feeling: Seeks harmony of action and thoughts with personal values.
Homemade Pizza Recipe Making the Pizza Dough 1 Proof the yeast: Place the warm water in the large bowl of a heavy duty stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is dissolved. After 5 minutes stir if the yeast hasn't dissolved completely. The yeast should begin to foam, which indicates that it is still active and alive. 2 Make and knead the pizza dough: Using the mixing paddle attachment, mix in the flour, salt, sugar, and olive oil on low speed for a minute. Knead the pizza dough on low to medium speed using the dough hook until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. If you don't have a mixer, you can mix the ingredients together and knead them by hand. If the dough seems a little too wet, sprinkle it with a little more flour. 3 Put dough in warm place to rise: Spread a thin layer of olive oil over the inside of a large bowl. You can let it sit for several hours if you want. Preparing the Pizzas 3 Prep toppings: Prepare your desired toppings.
The Myers & Briggs Foundation - The Tertiary Function The third-preferred, or tertiary, function tends to be less interesting to individuals, and they tend to have fewer skills associated with it. The letter of this function does not appear in your type. It is the opposite function from the auxiliary function. If, for example, your auxiliary function is Thinking, then your tertiary will be Feeling. Development of this function tends to come later in life (about midlife) after you have grown and feel comfortable with the dominant and auxiliary. As you grow and develop, you learn that there is a time and place to use your third and fourth functions. About this time, the question arises in life, is this all there is?
