Sands of Time: Revisiting AusAPT’s first conference—Phil Kerr

The Australian Association for Psychological Type (AusAPT) was formed in October 1991 at Australia’s first type conference, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator: Australian Perspectives. The fledgling association’s leaders immediately set about convening another conference, this time in AusAPT’s own name. The first issue of the Australian Journal for Psychological Type (March 1992) announced that:The newly formed [AusAPT] will hold its first National Conference on the Sunshine Coast, at Twin Waters Resort, commencing on Wednesday, 30 September 1992. This conference seeks to explore all aspects of Psychological Type including application and practice in the field, research, the concerns of practitioners and others, and (more…)

Work-Life Balance, Stress and the Process of Individuation—Mary McGuiness

October 8, 2022 @ 11:45 am 12:45 pm Australia/Sydney

The individuation process is a term used by Carl Gustav Jung to describe the process of becoming inwardly whole, discovering one’s true self, beyond the mask of the persona and ego-centered life. Individuation generally has a profound healing effect on the person. It is a process that allows us to be our most creative and to fulfil the soul’s deepest desire.

Our busy lives sometimes hinder our growth towards wholeness as the stress reduces our cognitive functioning and emotional intelligence. Work-Life Balance is essential in reducing stress and allowing the process of growth and individuation to occur. We will explore how research has suggested some ‘best practices’ that can help us to prevent stress and improve resilience so that we can function at our best. We will look at these practices and some suggestions Jung gave us on how to facilitate our own growth and individuation.

Type and Music Preferences—Ian Ball

October 8, 2022 @ 11:45 am 12:45 pm Australia/Sydney

There are many reasons why particular pieces of music attract us and why we go back to those preferences. There are also reasons why particular styles of music are ones we avoid or find unbearable.

In 2006 Elwin Hall and I conducted a workshop at the AusAPT conference exploring these ideas and looked for linkages between one’s preferred type and one’s preferences for music.

This new session for the conference on Time & Tide: Traditions and Trends in Type reviews the research conducted since then and serves as an update on this theme. The new evidence gives much more confidence about the relationships. There has been a reconceptualisation about music preferences and this will be explained in the session.

It is hoped that participants will have a greater appreciation of the linkages between type and preferences for music with particular attributes.

The Most Common Enneagram Types of Each MBTI Type—Joyce Meng

October 9, 2022 @ 9:00 am 10:00 am Australia/Sydney

The Most Common Enneagram Types of Each MBTI Type | How the Enneagram Intersects with the 16 Types

A current trend in the MBTI community is the heavy incorporation of the Enneagram.

The presentation will be geared around the most common Enneagram types for each of the 16 types. I describe an overview of the Enneagram types, how it overlays with the MBTI, and why it is becoming a trend in the MBTI community to combine these two systems.

The session outcome will be to teach people about the correlations between the Enneagram and MBTI and to teach the basics of the Enneagram. Audience members will walk away with a better understanding of type and why the Enneagram is becoming more popular in the MBTI community.

Creating a Type Community and Business in Japan—Harumi Gondo

October 8, 2022 @ 2:45 pm 3:45 pm Australia/Sydney

Creating a Type Community and Business in Japan – How I went from charging 100 to 100,000 yen a session

Harumi Gondo got off the plane from the US to Tokyo 9 years ago. She barely spoke the language and experienced severe culture shock in Japan. She went from knowing nothing about the culture and knowing no one to managing a busy type community of mothers and a growing business contracting the team of mothers who have now become expert practitioners in Type.

She will share her experiences with Japanese mothers, who highly prioritize conformity and keeping their mouth shut. She will also share her experience in building a growth-based Type community and how she as an ENFJ avoided poverty and poor health to achieving a six figure income through knowing and developing her Type.

The Trimorphic Ethoi of Psychological Types—Vicky Jo Varner

October 9, 2022 @ 9:00 am 10:00 am Australia/Sydney

Psychological Types is typically presented as a singular idea within one discipline. However, within that discipline, it can be discerned that there are three prevalent perspectives, or ethoi, in conveying the types. This session delves into these three different ethoi and relates them to the psychological types model, interspersed with interactive exercises to help attendees experience each of them and confront their differences. This presentation is academic in nature with cutting-edge content, so be prepared to immerse yourself in something that is philosophically challenging yet rewarding.

Against the Tide: Repositioning the 8 Functions in Psychology—Richard Owen

October 7, 2022 @ 7:45 pm 8:45 pm Australia/Sydney

Since C.G. Jung first described his 8 types of mental processing over 100 years ago, they were at first neglected, then later taken up again and developed by type theorists and practitioners. However as Jung’s work was widely disregarded by mainstream psychology academia, there has been little reconciliation between type theory and areas such as cognitive psychology or modern consciousness studies. In this presentation Richard will share some ideas from his ongoing work on identifying analogous concepts relating to the 8 functions, in an effort towards reintegrating type and the mainstream.

Temperament: Tradition or Trend? – Catherine Stothart

October 7, 2022 @ 6:30 pm 7:30 pm Australia/Sydney

Temperament: Tradition or Trend? Bringing Temperament up to date for 21st Century Leaders

Thirty years ago, few people talked of emotional intelligence, neuroscience, positive psychology, or mental well-being. Now there is widespread interest in popular psychology, and people are much more aware of their psychological needs.

Thirty years ago, leaders in organisations could operate in a command and control way. Now millennials want their leaders to be empathic. The role of the leader-manager is now less an overseer of task completion and more an enabler of self-motivation.

In this context, temperament – which explains why we do what we do – is the perfect tool to enable leaders to lead their team to fulfil their purpose and potential. Catherine’s approach to temperament links our core psychological needs to the essential leadership capabilities of engaging, developing, delegating and connecting. In this session she will share a practical toolkit to enable leaders to motivate their teams, improve their well-being and feel motivated themselves.

Type in Tandem: The Magical Alchemy of Connecting Opposing Functions – Sue Blair

October 8, 2022 @ 9:00 am 10:00 am Australia/Sydney

Pivoting is a skill we have all had to master over the past two years. Flexibility is the key, in our outlooks, our expectations and aspirations. Many of us have had plenty of time for introspection.

This gift of time has lead many of us to ask questions. Lots of them! This session explores how we can integrate the perceiving functions to find the wisdom we need to keep on track.

We will explore:

  • Cognitive function combinations
  • Helpful graphics to simplify our explanations
  • Questions which can be posed relating to each of the perceiving functions
  • The importance of intentional application of the functions
