So, where did you go?

A month ago I talked about how your choice of holiday might reflect your MBTI preference type.

So, if you chose a holiday that was busy, where you met lots of new interesting people, it might indicate an EXTRAVERSION preference.  This means you prefer to draw energy from the world around you and from contact with people.  These types learn best through doing or discussing and tend to speak and act first then reflect later.  So at work you might feel comfortable taking on a visible role, be prepared to alter a decision to meet external demands and delegate liberally. 

If you chose to spend the holiday with a few close friends having a lovely 'chilled' time then you may have an INTROVERSION preference.  This means you prefer to draw energy from your internal world, through quiet reflection.  These types learn best by reflection and mental practice and tend to reflect before acting or speaking.  At work you might feel more comfortable working behind the scenes, feel reluctant to alter a decision to meet external demands and you may delegate sparingly.

Do you recognise yourself in any of these or maybe a colleague who is the opposite of you?  Or are you a combination of both?

If you would like to find out more about how MBTI can really help you in the workplace then please do call for a chat.
