In the Tusculum program, we had a course where we studied learning styles and various tools that are used to determine individuals’ preferences.
My team chose the lofty-sounding topic “Development of the Study of Personality Typing” and individually researched segments, prepared part of a Powerpoint document, and presented “our” parts to the full class. As the team member with the most Powerpoint experience, I pulled all our parts together into a cohesive document, which you can view by clicking here (PDF).
We also had to each write an individual paper about personality typing for the course. In my paper, which is about half essay and half research-based, I disputed the results of the MBTI we took in the course. The instructor wasn’t swayed, but she was pleased by the process of my argument. You can view the paper by clicking here (PDF).
The instructor, a credentialed MBTI proctor and evaluator, told my class that one’s type usually changes after a life-altering event. I can buy that, I suppose, because I can identify the life-altering events that preceded each MBTI battery I have taken so far.
