> Have you ever wondered why you seem to relate better to some people

> The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is the most widely used  
> instrument for understanding personality differences that can be  
> the source of much misunderstanding and miscommunication between  
> people. (Over two million questionnaires are completed each year  
> worldwide). The MBTI, based on over fifty years of research, is  
> extremely effective in enabling you to identify your strengths and  
> provides in a practical way a better understanding of yourself,  
> your motivations and potential areas for growth. Equally it will  
> also enable you to understand and appreciate those who differ from  
> you.
>
> Myers-Briggs popularity is based on the fact that people love to  
> learn about themselves. The indicator is very intuitive and the  
> results are relatively easy for most to understand. A feeling of  
> 'coming home' is often reported by those who go through the Myers- 
> Briggs experience.
>
> Before The Workshop
> You will be asked to complete the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, a 93- 
> question assessment that gathers personal preferences. The online  
> assessment takes about 15 to 20 minutes and would need to be  
> completed by Thursday 6th December.
>
> During the Workshop
> The results of each person's MBTI will be provided to you at the  
> workshop in a personalised report. These results are confidential  
> to the recipient. However, there's tremendous value in sharing this  
> information, and participants virtually always do so.
