How Will Type as We Know It Be Seen in the Future:
Sharing your Knowledge in a Podcasting and YouTube World
Presented by Joel Mark Witt & Antonia Dodge
Saturday, April 29th, 2023
9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. PDT
The internet is forcing type communities to change & grow… fast.
On one side of the type community we see a seasoned generation of type professionals who have spent years refining their knowledge & wisdom. On the other side are young people eager to express and share their newly discovered love of type on every major social media platform.
Young people are excited about type & want to talk about it on podcasts, YouTube videos, and Facebook posts. But often these new “influencers” are unaware that typology is a mature discipline with years of research, development, and commerce baked into its ethos.
How do we preserve what has come before while adapting to the changing new media landscape?
This program will be highly interactive. We hope to start a dialogue with two of the many pieces of the type community: type members and type influencers from social media platforms. Topics such as legitimacy and ways of participating and learning will happen but more importantly, you will come away with how very important and crucial the APTi community is viewed for the continuation of vitality and growth in the type world.
ABOUT THE PRESENTERS
Joel Mark Witt & Antonia Dodge presented at the APTi conference in February and at the AusAPT Conference in Melbourne Australia, and will present at the British APT conference on April 22. They are authors, podcasters, entrepreneurs, personal development coaches, and personality typology experts who have consulted with companies like Amazon, Zappos Oracle, American Express, CNN and many others.

A Question of Values:
How they Operate for Both Feeling and Thinking Types
Presented by Sandra Nelson, M.A.
Saturday, May 28th, 2022
9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. PDT
The really fundamental questions of our lives are not questions of fact or finance, but questions of value. What is worth striving for? What makes life worth living? Do Thinking types have values? Of course they do, but Thinkers often hold values that are different in quality and kind than Feeling types. They may, however, be less conscious of how values influence their decisions. Even Feeling types, may not be as aware as they might be about their decision-making process. Whether we have a preference for Thinking or Feeling, values form the foundation of our life choices and the basis of our self-esteem. They have a powerful motivational component, and they guide our actions on a daily basis.
In this workshop we will:

- Take the Rokeach Values Survey, the most researched values instrument published
- Learn how values impact your life cognitively, affectively and behaviorally
- Explore the relationship of your chosen values to your type preferences
- Become more conscious of how your preferred values serve you in making choices

A Tale of Two Types:
Exploring the Intersection of the MBTI and the Enneagram
Presented by Virginia Thomas, Ph.D.
April 2022
The MBTI examines personality through the lens of functions and attitudes, exploring how we process information, make decisions, and orient ourselves to the world around us. The Enneagram views personality as a style of attention, grounded in one of three emotional centers that dominate the personality. What happens when the two systems are combined? This workshop explores how our self-understanding is enriched by taking into account both type preferences (MBTI) and patterns of emotional attention (Enneagram). After reviewing the nine Enneagram patterns, we will overlay Jungian typology onto the Enneagram to explore how the two systems interact to form a more comprehensive picture of your personality. Note that a large component of this workshop will be discussion-based and assumes participants have a basic knowledge of both the Enneagram and MBTI systems.
Following registration for the program, participants will receive an email with information to join the virtual presentation on Zoom.
Virginia (Gina) Thomas, Ph.D. is an assistant professor of psychology at Middlebury College, Vermont. Gina is qualified to administer the MBTI® and is a certified teacher of the Enneagram, trained in the Narrative Tradition with Helen Palmer and David Daniels. She earned her doctorate in developmental psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and holds a master's degree in depth psychology from Sonoma State University. Her current research and teaching focus on the intersection of solitude, personality, identity, and emotional development. Gina especially enjoys exploring how the MBTI and Enneagram complement each other as windows into the personality, and has worked with individuals and organizations utilizing both of these systems.

Workshop with Joyce Meng
Topic: Using Behavioral Cues to Identify Type
January 22nd
9am-12pm Pacific Time
Have you ever wondered how to spot a person’s dominant and inferior function? This workshop is designed to give you some tricks and tips to help identify them both when working with clients and in everyday life.
I’ll begin by walking you through the theory of how each cognitive function operates in the dominant and inferior position. I’ll then teach you how to interpret the behavioral cues that typically manifest within individuals based on their dominant and inferior functions. By the end of the session, you’ll have some practical guidelines to takeaway to help you figure out anyone’s type.

Intentional Styles: The Fourth Lens
Provided by SacAPT
Saturday, December 4th, 2021
10:00am-1:00pm PT
From Linda Berens:
I often wondered why someone with ISFJ preferences would look more like INTP than ISFJ. I also noticed that a person with ISFP preferences and another person with INTJ preferences seeming to ‘vibrate’ in sync in meetings. So what was up with that?
You may be familiar with the common three ways of looking at type in a multiple model approach to type—Cognitive Dynamics (aka 8 Functions), Interaction Styles, and Essential Motivators (aka Temperament). Now there is a fourth lens that will give you more ways to verify best fit, get at conflict, and increase mutual understanding and respect for yourself and your clients, friend, family, and workmates.
We will explore this relatively new typology model that can explain these similarities. Discover the essential qualities of the four Intentional Styles: Enhancing, Orchestrating, Customizing, and Authenticating so you can do more with type.

At Play Among the Opposites:
Archetypal Energies in Animus and Anima
Provided by Dallas/Ft.Worth
Saturday, October 16th, 2021
8:00am-11:00am PT
Jung chose the inner feminine (anima) and inner masculine (animus) as key symbolic representations of the “not-me” aspects of self. They appear in our dreams, as projections, and have been linked to our typology via the Inferior Function. Given gender roles and gender identification are now seen as more about options and continua than givens or binaries, how should we re-imagine these figures for our own time? Let’s explore how we can take this idea of an energetic and evolving relationship to the “other” and ground it in concepts that speak to each of us in terms of growth, renewal, and regeneration rather than restricting or inhibiting our development.
Pre-Work:
“The animus and anima should function as a bridge, or a door, leading to the images of the collective unconscious, as the persona should be a sort of bridge into the world.”C.G. Jung, Unpublished Seminar Notes. “Visions” I, p.116 as cited in C.G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, p. 392
How do you feel you connect to the collective unconscious? How do you feel you connect to the world? Find or construct an image to represent your persona and how it connects you to the world and a second to represent your animus/a and how it connects you to the collective unconscious. You may find it helpful to use the bridge and/or the door mentioned by Jung as inspiration for creating your images.

LeaderTypes in the White House: How Type Shapes
Presidential Leadership Styles
Saturday, May 22nd, 2021
9:00am-12:00pm PST
Together we will explore the concept of leadership—and presidential leadership in particular. Using examples from Eight LeaderTypes in the White House: Discover and Leverage Your Oval-Office Leadership Style, we’ll compare them to more recent Presidents. Our discussion will hopefully uncover some of the challenges in typing public figures, as well as reveal some potential biases and preferences involved in choosing leaders. Finally, we’ll look at how type development matters, and how each President’s type—and their development—impacts their way of leading.
Following registration for the program, participants will receive an email with information to join the virtual presentation on Zoom.
Cash Keahey is a global leader-architect, having facilitated hundreds of workshops around the world, teaching thousands of leaders in 21 countries on six continents. Having spent 20+ years in diverse functions (sales, marketing, management, strategic planning, HR) and industries, Cash understands the fundamental challenge every leader faces: how to get things done through others. His niche is training and coaching new/emerging leaders on the front-lines of global, matrixed organizations.
Helping build better leaders is Cash’s mission. He believes self-awareness is key to leadership. Paraphrasing Jung, “Every leader is an exception to the rule...which requires you know the rule to which you’re an exception—your LeaderType.” With this self-knowledge, leaders build trust from the inside-out—first in themselves, and then among followers—and are thus able to leverage their natural leadership style to get results through people.
Qualified to administer the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) in 1999 by Otto Kroeger and Janet Thuesen, Cash began immersing himself in Jung through several study groups (Centerpoint I & II, Myers-Spoto). He combined this type knowledge with research into 42 U.S. presidents, and developed eight LeaderType® profiles, finding a different dominant LeaderType in eight ‘great’ presidents. Cash received his MBA from the University of Houston, and has been a leader in the Association for Psychological Type International (APTi) for over 15 years, receiving the APTi Excellence in Leadership award in 2009. He is the proud father of 2 grown children, one a recently licensed therapist, and the other a middle school social studies teacher.

Jane Kise, Ed.D. and Ann Holm, M.S. Coaching for Nature and Nurture via Personality Type and Saboteurs! Saturday, April 24th, 2021 9:00am-12:00pm PST Jung posed that our preferences for perception and judgment are innate. They're part of our nature. But we all know that people of each type show great diversity. The Positive Intelligence framework is a complementary way to add "nurture" for coaching. Developed by former Coach Training Institute Chairman Shirzad Chamine, the framework describes nine "saboteurs," behavior patterns we develop to ensure our needs for autonomy, belonging, and safety are met. They're a host of rotten characters such as Victim, Pleaser, Stickler and more. While type is innate, these saboteurs seem to develop in response to our environment. Take the Saboteurs Assessment in advance of the workshop. Then, together, we'll explore the Saboteurs framework and our research on correlations with personality type. Learn how a person's saboteurs might impede a client's identification of best-fit type as well as understanding of adult development pathways. And, through examples and breakouts to discuss case studies, explore how the use of saboteurs can enhance type-based coaching. Please note: To get the most out of this program, please complete the assessment before the program starts. Saboteurs | Positive Intelligence Jane Kise, Ed.D., MBA, CPQC is a past president of APTi, author of over 25 books, and a consultant with over 25 years of experience working with type concepts. Her passion involves doing anything ethical to help schools embrace type. She also does leadership coaching. Ann Holm, M.S., PCC, CPCC, CPQC, is a Professional Certified Coach specializing in executive, career, and personal development. She also has 25 years of experience in applied brain science, using her hands-on involvement to help her coaching clients understand how to stay focused, be engaged, and energized given the demands of the 21st century workplace. Together, they have been researching connections between type and saboteurs since 2015. Last year, they became certified as Positive Intelligence Coaches as part of the first cohort to take part in the process. Both are certified as MBTI Steps I, II and III master practitioners. |

Carol Shumate, Ph.D. Type and Body Language Saturday, March 27th, 2021 9:00am-12:00pm PST To see ourselves as others see us: This is the great gift of psychological type. Now, the wealth of videos available on the internet have made psychological type more visible than ever. In one of her most popular presentations, Carol uses videos to show participants how each type presents to others, as well as how to spot type clues at a glance. When we know how others view our type, our presentation style naturally moderates without effort. When we know how other types present, we can begin to distinguish between psychological type and character, which gives us a better radar for lies and manipulative tactics. Although we develop many of our opposite sides as we mature, the physical manifestations of type tend not to change as we mature. Therefore, paying attention to facial expressions, bodily movement, and speech patterns can help us identify an individual's earliest and most natural preferences, regardless of the reported type. Carol has correlated body language with the E/I scale, the J/P scale, and the eight Jungian functions (Si, Se, Ni, Ne, etc.) in a process she developed to teach her students to assess themselves and others. She uses videos of young people who are still exploring their personalities, so their type characteristics are exaggerated. These videos will have participants laughing at themselves and their type tribes, as they spot the clues to type with the aid of a proprietary handout drawn from Carol’s new book, Projection and Personality Development via the Eight-Function Model (Routledge 2021). Participants will also have the opportunity to share their own tips and tricks for recognizing type. Note: Not all 16 types can be presented in the time allotted, so the presentation will be limited to the types of the first dozen individuals to register, unless there is time for more. However, Carol will take requests if they are made ahead of time. Also note that some but not all of these videos were shown in February 2020 at a presentation for the San Diego APT. Carol Shumate, PhD (ENFP), teaches the course “Psychological Types” at Pacifica Graduate Institute, where she uses film and video to help students assess their own types. She is a founding editor of the journal Personality Type in Depth, https://typeindepth.com/authors/carol-shumate/ whose mission is to bridge psychological type and depth psychology. Her book Projection and Personality Development via the Eight-Function Model (Routledge 2021) shows how John Beebe’s eight-function/eight-archetype model of personality type can be used to provide a trajectory of development for each of the sixteen Myers-Briggs® types. |

However, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced many of us to be alone far longer than we’re used to. For others, the irony is that lockdowns have eliminated opportunities to be alone, as some of us are now “trapped” in close quarters with the people we live with. How can we successfully navigate this unique time and meet our competing needs for time alone and time with others? Join this workshop to learn about psychological research that outlines the skills people use to engage in positive solitude, defined as time spent alone that is rich in meaning and enjoyment. The workshop will include discussion around the experiences, opportunities, and challenges we each have when it comes to being alone, and we’ll explore how Type may be shaping our attitudes and behaviors around spending time by ourselves.
