This slidecast presentation provides information about different personality types and how they relate to learning styles. It describes how the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment was developed based on Carl Jung's work. Learners will take a personality assessment online and write a story about a fictional character with their personality traits. The goal is for learners to understand their own personality type and how they learn best.

1. This Slidecast was developed as a way for user's to find out what their personality type is and how they learn best. By Gordon Willis Wayne State University Februaary 14, 2011 Introduction Personality Types

2. The original developers of the personality inventory were Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter,Isabel Briggs Myers. They began creating the indicator during World War II, believing that a knowledge of personality preferences would help women who were entering the industrial workforce for the first time to identify the sort of war-time jobs where they would be "most comfortable and effective".

3. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is a psychometric questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. These preferences were extrapolated from the typological theories proposed by Carl Gustav Jung and first published in his 1921 book Psychological Types (English edition, 1923).

14. The first is sensing. Sensing means what it says: getting information by means of the senses. A sensing person is good at looking and listening and generally getting to know the world. Jung called this one of the irrational functions, meaning that it involved perception rather than judging of information. The second is thinking. Thinking means evaluating information or ideas rationally, logically. Jung called this a rational function, meaning that it involves decision making or judging, rather than simple intake of information. The third is intuiting. Intuiting is a kind of perception that works outside of the usual conscious processes. It is irrational or perceptual, like sensing, but comes from the complex integration of large amounts of information, rather than simple seeing or hearing. Jung said it was like seeing around corners. The fourth is feeling. Feeling, like thinking, is a matter of evaluating information, this time by weighing one's overall, emotional response. Jung calls it rational, obviously not in the usual sense of the word.
