Reading People & Personality Types Overview of Myers-Briggs System

Reading People How we read others? How we read ourselves? How others read us?

Reading People First impressions and discovering patterns Spend time with people, learn to understand them Stop, look and listen To get others to open up, you must open up first Be objective Final impressions governed by personality preferences.

Reading Yourself Personality Concepts: How we think?, How we act? Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument [HBDI] Left brain-right brain Limbic-cerebral (emotion, behavior, motivation…) Myers-Briggs Type Indicator [MBTI] Preference Type Temperament

Important Personality Observations All thinking modes and profiles are valuable no right or wrong. The brain is specialized and situational different modes are used for different tasks. Each person - unique coalition of thinking preferences. Preferences emerge early, tend to remain stable. Affected by life’s experiences Understanding others preferences helps people communicate and collaborate.

How can some people be so smart and dull at the same time How can some people be so smart and dull at the same time? How can they be so capable of certain mental activities and at the same time be so incapable of others? Henry Mintzberg, PhD Management Professor, McGill University Harvard Business Review, July 1976

Organized Controlled World Most of us assume that we are seeing the world the way it really is. Ned Herrmann Analytical Technical World Imaginative Trailblazing World Organized Controlled World Caring Networked World

THE HBDI ORGANIZING PRINCIPLE Four interconnected clusters of specialized mental processing modes function together situationally and iteratively one or more parts may become naturally dominant. PHYSIOLOGY METAPHOR APPLICATION THE BRAIN WHOLE BRAIN MODEL THE HBDI
