Myers-Briggs Reveals Natural Traits

Myers-Briggs reveals your natural personality preferences, rooted in innate traits as proposed by Carl Jung.
It helps distinguish your true nature from environmental influences, enhancing self-awareness and compassion.

Energy and Information Preferences

Extroverts recharge through social interaction, introverts through solitude; these are preferences, not measures of shyness or sociability.
Sensing types focus on concrete details, intuitive types on big-picture ideas; both bring valuable perspectives.

Chances are, at some point in your life you’ve traveled with someone for so long you start to drive each other a little crazy, and you don’t really know why.

Spending every moment together can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be.

Assessments like Myers Briggs can make you a more compassionate person because you learn how we all see the world through a different lens. You start taking things less personally because you realize that people have diverse ways of learning and working, different ranges of how much alone time we need, different ways of organizing ourselves (or not).

On this episode of the Postcard Academy, I’m very happy to be speaking with Caitlin Hawekotte, who is an MBTI® Certified Practitioner, which means that she administers and interprets the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® assessment to help people discover more about their personality types and preferences.

Understanding your psychological type, and those of others, will make you a better communicator, something that’s very helpful in keeping your sanity while traveling with someone, and also while locked up in quarantine with them due to the COVID-19 coronavirus.

And on that glorious day when we can travel again, you can then take what you learn on today’s podcast about Myers Briggs to make traveling with a friend or partner more enjoyable and stress-free.
