MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator)
Overview:
What's your type?
Why is it that we tend to connect with some people more than others? Have you ever had the experience of being on the same wavelength with some of your colleagues but from a different planet with others?!
Do you ever find yourself saying things like "Why dont they understand!?" when a task, idea or action plan is just so obvious to you!
Why is it that some people you interact with have a very different point of view, thought process and style?
