10. What do the types mean? Breaking them down…

11. Extraversion vs. Introversion
Do you focus on the outer world or inner world?
Do you ask a lot of questions in class? Do you talk to other people a lot to get ideas? If so, you’re probably an Extravert.
Do you prefer to think to yourself and then speak? If so, you’re probably an Introvert.

12. Sensing vs. Intuition
Do you focus on basic information, or do you interpret and add meaning?
How do you give someone directions to get somewhere?
Map and street names- Sensing
Landmarks- Intuition

13. Thinking vs. Feeling
When making decisions, do you look at facts and logic, or do you consider people and their special circumstances?
Case: You are the human resources manager at a company. Your boss tells you that you have to lay off 3 people out of 10. There is a variety of employee age and experience ranges. How do you decide who to lay off?

14. Judging vs. Perceiving
Do you prefer to get things done, or keep your options open?
When working on a class group project, Judgers often initiate tasks to be completed as soon as possible.
Perceivers often bring in new ideas throughout the entire process.
How can both of these types work together?

15. Group Discussion Break into groups- Extravert and Introvert
How does being an Extravert or Introvert effect your interactions with other people?
How do you think it would effect you in your career?
What careers in your type represent your strengths as a person?
