So Many Theories About Personality: Which Is Best?

Personality or psychological type theory, as we know it, started nearly a century ago with Carl Jung. Since then it has evolved and branched out. This meetup will help you distinguish between legitimate type theories and their terminology, and those that are based on misconceptions. We will also give you some guidelines as to which assessments to use or not to use.

The first of three meetups to help you get the most out of “Type”. We will start with putting it all together, so as to help you navigate through the mountain of information that keeps appearing in the media.

About:
This is a group for everybody who would like to understand a bit more about themselves and the people they live or work with through sharing with others. Maybe you would like to know why your kids always clash, or why your partner is so sensitive... or not sensitive enough. Maybe you would like to know why you or somebody you love never seems to fit in. Maybe you want to know why you have chosen a certain profession. Maybe you just want to share what you know about personality types or learn what others know.

The main focus of this group is on understanding the 16 psychological types first described by Carl Jung and made popular by Myers-Briggs and David Keirsey. The key is that once we understand that we are not all alike, we can open our minds to sharing rather than judging each other and learn to celebrate our differences.
