Who Am I?

I firmly believe that understanding yourself really helps in business, this is also applicable for your personal life.  Myers and Briggs were a mother-daughter relationship who, between them, created an assessment in the form of a psychometric questionnaire to see where peoples preferences lie.  The assessment was created during the Second World War to assist correctly allocating women into industrial workforce jobs.  The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was born.

The MBTI allocates you into one of 16 'types'.  This is where you most comfortably sit. There is not right or wrong category, it is an assessment about where you are most comfortable and therefore most effective.  Most people can operate in any of the other 15 types, but may feel a bit uncomfortable and out of their depth, returning to their 'type' as a default setting.  Understanding your setting and allowing others to know your setting makes for a better relationship all round.  To get the best out of this it is a good idea to have it professionally done.  I would recommend getting in touch with daveshell@btinternet.com.

Dave and I are very nearly at opposite ends of the spectrum.  Working together whilst delivering a course, we knew and understood each others types, resulting in everything running smoothly as all angles were covered.

I am ESFJ.  So Who Are You?
