JST Workshop: Giftedness and Growth: Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)November 8, 2:00 – 5:00 p.m. Room 216 The Myers-Briggs Type indicator (MBTI) is a self-report instrument designed to help us understand our personality type, strengths, and preferences. Based on the work of psychologist Carl Jung, it also provides a positive approach for understanding and valuing individual differences. This workshop will provide a review and interpretation of the MBTI, focusing on our giftedness and areas of potential growth. Time allowing, other aspects of the MBTI will be explored. Bring your experience, insights and questions! Participants are asked to complete the MBTI questionnaire before the workshop so that individual scores can be provided. (If you have already taken the MBTI and can provide your scores, there is no need to take it again unless you choose to.) Facilitator: Clare Ronzani Please register with Mack Griffith (mgriffith@scu.edu) Clare Ronzani taught courses in spirituality for many years at JST. She also served as JST’s career advisor and has offered retreats and workshops for the JST community. Instituto Hispano
