Students will further discover themselves as we explore personality types and differences using the Myers-Briggs Typology Indicator (MBTI). Participants will learn more about the four preference pair types (extraversion-introversion, sensing-intuition, thinking-feeling, and judging-perceiving) and how these preferences help define our personalities. Facilitators will engage students in individual and group reflective exercises to help them identify the preferences with which they most identify and learn from classmates who have different personality preferences. In addition, the session will explore how our individual personalities affect our leadership styles and team dynamics. As a bonus, session participants will have free access to the online MBTI assessment and receive a profile report that overviews their personality type.
