Transcript

We're going to look at behavioral preferences based on the work of Carl Jung. Carl Jung's theory of psychological type is well known, well established, but it's quite academic. Young's work was refined and developed by Katherine Briggs and Isabel Myers, who actually helped to bring it into the public domain and to make it more applicable. It has over 70 years of research, and it helps with self awareness and confirming self perception. Behavioral preferences help people to understand normal differences, normal differences in themselves and other people concerning life orientation, where energy is derived from how information is acquired, how decisions are made, and how people engage with the world. An understanding of behavioral preferences helps in your appraisal.

Have your strengths. It also helps understand the strengths of other people. It helps you in your understanding of personality differences in others, and gives you insights how you can work with them more constructively. Behavioral preferences relates to key leadership tasks and challenges. So it's useful in working with teams with strategy, managing conflict and helping others with motivation, etc. Preferences can't be used to measure cognitive ability, your IQ, your intelligence, preferences can't be used to determine whether you have a psychiatric disturbance or any other type of mental illness.

They can't be used to show a level of maturity or affluence. They can't be used to measure emotions, the degree of trauma that you may have experienced or whether you're undergoing high levels of stress Type is useful in understanding yourself and other people. But we've got to remember that everyone is an individual. So when you're working with your assessments, you need to decide how accurate that assessment is for you. What we'll look at with regards to the helium based preferences, these behavioral preferences are some of your key preferences, some of your key characteristics, some of your key tendencies, but we won't be looking at all of them. The four preferences that we'll be looking at how you get your energy, how you gather information, how you process information, and how you engage with the world.

Let me explain what a preference is. If I was to ask you whether you would like a tea or a coffee, you would have a preference for one or the other. I have a very strong preference for coffee simply Because I have a physiological reaction to tea and I can't drink it. Therefore my preferences for coffee, there's no right there's no wrong. It's just that that's my preference. Another example is that I'm mildly to moderately deaf, I usually wear hearing aids.

And when the phone rings, because I'm less deaf in my left ear than in my right ear, when I pick up the receiver to speak to somebody on the other end of the telephone, in order to hear better, I place the receiver against my left ear in preference to my right here. So a preference of behavioral preference is something that's preferred. It's something that's natural, it's easy. It's something that you feel comfortable with. It doesn't take a lot of energy. When you behave in a non preferred way.

It's unnatural. It's difficult It's awkward and it takes more energy, you have to concentrate on it a lot more. The four behavioral scales that we'll be looking at are extraversion and introversion. Sensing an intuition, thinking, and feeling and judging and perception. The extraversion introversion scale looks at how you get your energy. The sensing intuition scale looks at how you take in information.

The thinking and feeling scale looks at how you process information. The judging and perception scale looks at how you orientate yourself and how you engage with the outer world. When combined, your four preferences indicate your preference time and this forms the basis of your personality type.
