How to Communicate Effectively With Other Personality Types

How do you communicate with a person of a totally different personality type? How do you get your message across without it being taken the wrong way?

We know there are people we communicate with easily, at times even without words, while with others it feels like we are speaking different languages.

Misunderstandings and clashes can occur from miscommunication - much of which stems from our inborn natural personality type differences. Fortunately, we can learn to communicate more effectively by knowing both our own type and how other types communicate.

So, bring your experiences and issues about communicating with other types and let's talk... All welcome.

Venue: We ask for a koha to help cover the venue costs. We're in the downstairs meeting room. Entry is via the main door on SH1/Arthur Street (around the corner from Cuba St).

About: Who Am I? Understanding Personality Types, Wellington is a group for everybody who would like to understand a bit more about themselves and the people they live or work with - through sharing with others. Maybe you would like to know why your kids always clash, or why your partner is so sensitive... or not sensitive enough. Maybe you would like to know why you or somebody you love never seems to fit in. Maybe you want to know why you have chosen a certain profession. Maybe you just want to share what you know about personality types or learn what others know.

The main focus of this group is on understanding the 16 psychological types first described by Carl Jung and made popular by Myers-Briggs and David Keirsey. The key is that once we understand that we are not all alike, we can open our minds to sharing rather than judging each other and learn to celebrate our differences.
