In week 1 of my Myers-Briggs trials, I’ll be focusing on extraversion. The key difference between introverts and extraverts is where they get their energy: from themselves, or from others. If you imagine that each person is powered by a battery, an introvert charges their battery when they’re alone, and drains it when they’re with others.

I mentioned before that I would start off my mini-retirement with a really wacky personal growth experiment. I originally got the idea from a series of ThunderCats episodes I saw in 1985, and I saw that it would tie in perfectly with my new ebook, The Personality Puzzle.

Hi Breanne, I heard that you have to contact a consulting firm or consultant to get your real MBTI results. Is that correct? Thanks, Melinda ___________________ Hi Melinda, Earlier this year CPP, released a new way to take the MBTI online.

Ever wondered if your Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) preferences relate to your political preferences? Allen Hammer published several statistics about the political affiliations of each MBTI preference in Snapshots of the 16 Types.

Have I told you lately how much I love the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)?  If you've ever read one of my posts or followed me on Twitter you already knew that, but I'm not one dimensional.  I love plenty of other things...taking pictures, peanut butter and banana sandwiches, LOST, Heroes and Fringe, etc.

I was recently asked what I do all day, and decided to blog about it. Here ya go! 8:00 am- Morning starts as usual: Red Bull, peanut butter toast, playing with my dogs, listening to the news in the background...

When random people ask what I do, I generally say "I'm a consultant."  Saying that amuses me endlessly because it's basically as useless as saying "I work."  The truth is that what I "do" is not easily described by a job title or one sentence response.

A few months ago, I read several blog posts that badly butchered the concept of introversion, twisting the definition and falsely assuming that it’s inferior to extraversion. Being a huge fan of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the incredible insight it offers into personality differences, I had to set the record straight.

I had the wonderful privilege of speaking to the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) chapter in St. Louis this afternoon. This incredibly talented and engaged group meets monthly to discuss a variety of training and development issues facing the workforce today.
