Musings around psychological type: a personal perambulation - Peter Geyer
2021-11-13 16:15 - 17:15 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
This session is based on three decades of investigation and experience around C.G. Jung’s psychological types, from his own perspective to the interpretations of others, however informed or driven. Models, measurement and applications i.e. what people do with Jung’s typology, will form part of the content e.g. functions, personality types, associations with the brain , going “beyond Jung” etc. Criticisms and other difficulties, including what type is for, if anything will also form part of the discussion.

Gottman, Beebe, and Jung - Some Correlations - Vicky Jo Varner
2021-11-13 16:15 - 17:15 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
This session describes John Gottman’s contemporary research and his conception of the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” with their disastrous impact on relationships. These “Horsemen” can be correlated with John Beebe and Jung’s work on archetypes. We will conduct a visualization to help participants come into relationship with their own experience of one of these “Horsemen,” and thereby capture it phenomenologically. Please bring paper and some art supplies—colored pencils or markers or crayons.

Stress and Resilience in the World of Covid-19 - Mary McGuiness
2021-11-13 14:45 - 15:45 (Australia/Melbourne) | Victoria
The world has experienced enormous change and stress in 2020 and 2021. Covid-19 has impacted on our personal lives, family life, work life, social life and, for some, our physical and/or emotional health. People have responded in many different ways. Type theory suggests that each type will experience the stress differently and will likely use different strategies to cope. Let’s explore how the changes have impacted on us to see what impact personality type has had. We will also look more broadly at what Jung and type can tell us about stress and resilience. What does the theory say about stress for each type? And, more importantly, how do we take care of ourselves, and each other, so that we keep some balance in our lives and can learn something from the experience.

Type Development and Spirituality of Japanese Culture - Fusae Harada
2021-11-13 13:30 - 14:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
As an archipelago, Japan has kept its cultural independence for well over a millennium. Incorporating Buddhist influences from China, Japan still maintains a unique spiritual and cultural core that remains present to this day. Using typology, this talk will explore questions such as: Does bushido (the samurai code of honour) reveal any cultural type preferences? What type preferences does modern Japan have? And in what ways are those current dominant preferences rooted in Japan’s culture of 1000 years ago?

Type Development: 10 Things You Must Do (If you are serious) - Roger Pearman
2021-11-13 11:45 - 12:45 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
Type development is about knowing your type pattern and being able to identify and access those functions on which you don’t regularly rely. While identifying these functions (Si, Se, Ni, Ne, Ti, Te, Fi, Fe) is cognitively easy, accessing and using them requires more work. This presentation will look at 10 tactics from a variety of sources which will enable the participant to explore all of the type functions for development to boost psychological agility. In a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) age, we cannot afford to be one-sided in our psychological mindset. Development is about working to know and use all of the mental resources we have available.

Type and Stress: Your Type and Mind-Body Connections - Katie Jones
2021-11-13 10:15 - 11:15 (Australia/Melbourne) | Victoria
Our minds and bodies are intricately connected, and our brain’s main job is to keep us alive and safe from threats. In this interactive workshop, we will use an understanding of both the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, as well as research about how the mind and body are connected, to better understand unique stressors and ways to proactively and reactively respond to stress through both of these tools.

Developing a deeper understanding of stressors and how to recover from stress is important for self-understanding, leadership, and growth, as well as a key to understanding others. Leaders at all levels can use this information to help create psychologically safer spaces for their teams, which Google’s Project Aristotle found as one of the keys to team success. Stress is inevitable, but it is not the end of the story!

Katie JonesKatie is a MBTI Master Practitioner, coaching teams and leaders for 10 years. After earning two graduate degrees from Columbia University, teaching, leading high-performing teams, and working in the non-profit education space, Katie founded KJ Consulting Group, which continues to serve local and national organizations across the U.S. To support an ever-changing world as we navigate the pandemic, in 2020 Katie created the Myers Briggs: Beyond the Letters course, as well as a Mind-Body Journal to help navigate stress using mind-body connections.

From Type to Psyche, Self and Soul - David Pool
2021-11-13 10:15 - 11:15 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
We will examine some of the psychological ideas related to Carl Jung’s dynamic model of the human psyche. Special attention will be paid to the place type plays in the current scholarly landscape. By critically examining different perspectives on the psyche, the soul, and the self we will attempt a fresh exploration of what type is with an aim to break free of habitual and ingrained assumptions, beliefs and dogmas.

In addition to examining questions like “what is type?”, “what is the role of the unconscious?” and “what is attitude?” we will explore the experience of pursuing a PhD in Jungian psychology. You may wonder how receptive Jungian and Archetypal psychology is to Type notions. The answer is a mixed bag. Finally we’ll touch upon some intriguing and controversial ideas about the difference between classification into categories and a structural functional model of the human psyche – moving from the typical to the unique.

David Pool

David PoolDavid Pool has a Bachelors degree in Psychology and multiple type certifications. He is enrolled in the Depth, Jungian and Archetypal studies doctoral program at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpenteria California. This viewpoint into Jungian studies, the Type community, and mainstream academia grounds David’s viewpoint in three separate disciplines. David’s thesis is that an underlying psyche stands at the center of these three streams, his mission is to unite the different approaches while exercising a critical analytical approach.

What Type can Teach us as Writers - Terri Connellan
2021-11-13 10:15 - 11:15 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
How can insights from type help us grow in self-awareness and practice as writers so we can best express our work in the world? How do our type preferences influence how we write and what we write? How can we use these insights to help us grow and write more effectively? Using frameworks from type, creativity and writing, we look at writing identity and natural preferences as well as potential writing blocks. You will be guided to reflect on your writing process and its strengths and less preferred areas and strategies that might assist you to write more productively. You will build a map of personal strengths and areas for growth as a tool to increase your writing confidence, productivity, creative awareness and output. With stronger self-understanding as a writer, you will be more self-compassionate and positive rather than self-critical.

Four Flavors of Type - Dario Nardi
2021-11-13 09:00 - 10:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
What flavor of your type are you?Having an answer can make a difference. Some people really puzzle over their best-fit type. Or, they feel unusual for their type, perhaps as a result of upbringing or type development. Or, they are making a career change and want extra advice. What’s the saying, “Every ENFP is like every other ENFP, like some other ENFPs, and like no other ENFP.” Some differences are small, and some really matter.Lately, research is coming together on flavors of type. Neuroscience data supports that people use their brains in ways that meet their type preferences. They also develop in ways that reflect their cultural upbringing, career choice, and more. These brain differences sort into clusters or as 4 cardinal points around a wheel. We will explore 4 flavors of type: Dominant, Creative, Normalizing or Harmonizing. (Thanks Dr. Victor Gulenko for these names.) This includes examples from specific types and reference materials that you can use.

Dario Nardi

Dario Nardi, Ph.D. is a renowned author and researcher in neuroscience, personality, and body-mind practices. He won Distinguished Teacher of the year in 2011 while at UCLA. His books include Neuroscience of Personality, 8 Keys to Self-Leadership, Jung on Yoga, The Magic Diamond, and other titles. He created the Personality Types iPhone app and the Cognitive Processes Assessment of 8 Jungian functions. Since 2006, Dario has conducted hands-on brain research, utilizing insights of real-time EEG technology. Dario was certified in type since 1994.

Talking Theory Together - Richard Owen
2021-11-12 19:45 - 20:45 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
With a divergence of type theory between Jung, MBTI and many individual experts in the field, is there a way to create a cohesive revised narrative to carry type forward into its second century? Can we successfully reintegrate with mainstream personality psychology? How can type be reinterpreted and positioned in a way that makes it more acceptable to critics? Richard will discuss several key issues in type theory and some of his proposed solutions to them.

Friend or foe? The Inferior Function - Angelina Bennet
2021-11-12 19:45 - 20:45 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
The inferior function – sometimes called the 4th function – is one of the most fascinating aspects of our psyche. It is often overlooked as it does not feature in our type code and it tends to be regarded as the “not me” side of our personality. Yet it has an almost continuous presence in our everyday lives. Many people are familiar with Naomi Quenk’s ‘In the Grip’ theory, in which the inferior function erupts during stress; however, it makes its presence felt in many other situations, although we may not consciously be aware of it. In this session, I will invite the audience to consider the different roles that their inferior function takes in their lives, and how it can be a hindrance, a source of negative perception, a haven, a source of excitement, and a gateway for development.

Motivation in the age of uncertainty - Catherine Stothart
2021-11-12 18:30 - 19:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
Feeling motivated is an essential part of mental health and well-being but many people do not know what really motivates them or how to sustain their motivation. Temperament theory is a perfect tool to help our clients connect to their sense of purpose. But motivation is also about persistence and resilience. Catherine will share an approach to motivation which links temperament theory to academic theories of motivation. In temperament groups, we will explore the beliefs that can act as accelerators or brakes on our performance and work out strategies for persistence and resilience which fit with who we are. By bridging the gap between the temperament lens of type and academia we can bring the benefits of both worlds to our clients to enable them to live more fulfilled lives. This creates a powerful combination for practical action to sustain our motivation and well-being in our uncertain world. The session will be interactive with break out groups and activities.

Mindset Shift – Evolving Our Conversations About Individuation - Katherine W Hirsh
2021-11-12 18:30 - 19:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
Type has great potential as a self-awareness tool, yet this frequently remains untapped because its users struggle to answer the “So What?” and “Now what?” questions, missing the chance to relate type theory to people’s lives. Part of what’s needed may be a deeper understanding of type, however we also frequently underestimate the barriers to increasing self-awareness and enacting behavior change.

I will describe three mindsets that can derail our efforts. Mindset one involves believing people need to know why they should do something, rather than showing them the negative outcome if they fail to make a change. Mindset two entails believing external motivations for growth and change, couched in terms of control and compliance, are more effective than internal motivations expressed in terms of mastery and engagement. Mindset number three hinges on the belief in a zero-sum world where individuation is an outcome to be reached, rather than an ongoing journey to be navigated.

Goldilocks and the 8 Cognitive Processes - Sue Blair
2021-11-12 17:15 - 18:15 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
Assumption: The perfect human being has not yet been created. Even Mary Poppins said she was only “practically perfect” (in every way!!!) So, how, why and where do we go wrong and what can we do about it? The truth is that we all use all of these functions, but we tend not to use each of them equally well. There is a time and energy component to their use and, for some, use of a function is habitual and for others it is momentary. In this session we put the Goldilocks Theory to the test. We will take a look at each of the cognitive processes, define them and then suggest ways in which we can use each of them ‘too much’, ‘too little’ and (on a good day) ‘just right’. There is no better place than a Type conference to gather our combined wisdom and learn from each other about what it is really like to be us. A place where we honour diversity and practice inclusivity. We will learn, laugh and leave enlightened.

About Harumi Gondo and the Japanese TypeLAB community

Harumi Gondo

Harumi Gondo is in her third (and possibly final?) career. After finding herself alone and without a community in Japan, she went to the US to get certified in MBTI. She began inviting moms in her daughter’s kindergarten to learn about Type. It has since been 8 years and she is in the midst of creating a growth-oriented community of mothers, who all live within 20-30 minute biking distance of each other, who are learning and teaching Type. Last year alone TypeLAB ran around 335 events for mothers.

Members of TypeLAB at events in Tokyo

Harumi is a MBTI Master Practitioner and is also certified with Majors PTI and TypeCoach as well as the MMTIC (Murphy-Mesgeier Type Indicator for Children). She studied the cognitive functions and their archetypal influences with Bob McAlpine (also John Beebe’s workshop in Houston). Harumi created her own type certification program and has written a Japanese textbook on Type (with her team) and a Japanese workbook on the cognitive functions. She conducts type trainings at companies and organizations on teamwork and communication in Japanese and English.

As an ENFJ she has worked (so hard!!!) to create a good marriage with her ISTP husband and loves her 12-year-old INFP and 9-year-old ESTP daughters, who are also learning Type and functions! Her ESTP daughter recently came home from a Kids Type session declaring, “I realized I need to think about people’s feelings more but I also think Feelers need to over-exaggerate when they are not happy.”

Discover a new way to see, show and explain type like never before. Visual Type is a visual diagram for each type.

Soul-making Work in Dark Times: A Jungian View - Suzanne Cremen
2020-11-07 10:15 - 11:15 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
Drawing on Jungian depth psychology, this session outlines a new approach to questions of work, career and calling in the current era, through engaging with symbol, metaphor and imagination. Traditional career development practices tend to be biased towards Sensation and Thinking functions. Bringing a symbolic perspective to work can awaken imagination and shift perception of the vocational journey as more than a paycheck, but an opus of the soul. Individuals with a preference for Intuition are particularly suited to a vocational guidance approach which values the creative unconscious and imaginative potential, but at different life stages this approach may be valuable for all psychological types.

Suzanne Cremen Dr Suzanne Cremen worked in over 25 occupations including lawyer, screenwriter, publisher and career counsellor before earning her PhD in depth psychology. She serves as faculty at Pacifica Graduate Institute (USA), founded the Life Artistry Centre for Archetype, Imagination and Vocation (Australia), and is the author of From Career to Calling (Routledge).

This session is part of the AusAPT Online 2020 Conference. It’s just $75AU for AusAPT members and reciprocal members and $100AU for guests for all 12 sessions. Or you can purchase a new member + conference package at $125AU.

During the session, we will try out some practical ‘ego bypass’ coaching methods, and discuss our own experiences of seeing the wisdom of type in action.

Jung’s Type and Development over his Lifetime – Mary McGuiness
2020-11-06 14:45 - 15:45 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
Was Carl Jung’s Type INTJ or INTP? This has been debated in the Type community for some time. We will examine evidence from Jung’s life, his writings, his work and from people who knew him personally, that points to his personality Type. We will also explore the changes in Jung as he developed through midlife and beyond. In this session we will look at the question of how can you identify a person’s Type, particularly an historical figure or a celebrity. We will also look how an understanding of one’s Type can influence the individuation process.

Type and Exploring Personal Growth Pathways - Alex MacFarlane
2020-11-06 13:30 - 14:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online Event
Research regarding optimal human personal development has identified specific steps regarding this form of growth process experienced in one way or another by all humans. In an opposite vein, the research regarding the human deficiencies and dysfunctions we want to overcome indicates these crippling factors are individualised, not experienced by all, and are dependent on nature (our inborn cognitive preferences) and our nurture. This session will broadly outline dysfunctions typical for each psychological type and the overarching steps involved in optimal growth. It will then set about, by group discussion, to explore our individual lived experiences in this process.
