[Ailist] Re: Diversity of Thinking, and other articles

[Marge Schiller]

Dear Teresa,

About 30 years ago I was introduced to the Meyers Briggs Type  
Indicator (MBTI)
That instrument and the Jungian foundation upon which it was built   
was my introduction to an appreciative inquiry into differences of  
perception, sorting, priority setting and decision making.

MBTI celebrates diverse preferences as applied to work and home.

For 50 years I've been married to an Introverted Sensor Thinker Judger  
(ISTJ)
I'm an Extroverted Intuitive Thinker Perceiver (ENTP)

Every day we are delighted and frustrated with how our different ways  
of thinking, working and problem solving play themselves out.

Life (when we let it) is a laboratory for valuing differences.

Read "Gifts Differing" or some of the extensive MBTI literature and  
you will get both theory and  case examples.
Enjoy.

Marge
