Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

This week I was away on our quarterly off-site and we spend some time on discussing the composition of our business unit based on our MBTI results (We did take a MBTI survey before going away). This was very interesting and gave us some insight to why the group performs as it does.

I am now studying this subject even closer and I am trying to analyse my relationship with my girlfriend etc. based on this. This is a real powertool.

Now we have to see if we can really reach new goals with the help of this new information.

The Satir Interaction Model

Yesterday I rediscovered a old paper I found at my office a couple of months ago, it mentioned the Satir Interaction Model. "Virginia Satir believed that all levels of human interaction need congruent communication in which intentions align with verbal and non-verbal messages. In Ingredients of an interaction, Virginia Satir distinguishes several states of internal processing in any significant interaction."


Now I have read about it some more on the Internet and I have decided that it is finally time to buy one of her books (which also covers the Satir Change Model)
