Neil Ihde was very entertaining and provided an interesting and engaging course on the basics of MBTI. He provided great illustrations to distinguish between each of the four aspects of MBTI. He did lose focus in on instance when indicating that Introverts may appear aloof to introverts. That didn't really make sense to me. I'm pretty sure he meant that Introverts appear to be aloof to extroverts. As a whole, as engaging as this course was, it was rather vague and seemed a little to simple. Still, as a whole, he effectively drove the point home that people are different and must be treated the way "they want to be treated." As an ENFP, he also helped me take into consideration how other types may view me given how they expect to be treated. This lesson in self-awareness if critical in ensuring a positive team chemistry and experience.

This really clarified the difference between the Myers-Briggs types and how to determine your own. Neil suggests that using the idea of "where you get your energy from" is a very good way to clarify which side of the different indicators you may fall on. Also, knowing that you should typically assess your behaviour while at home, in your casual moments, helps to understand where your preferences are. I'd taken this once and couldn't really believe the indicated scores. Now I know why it didn't ring true. The skills we have to put on at work aren't necessarily where our true "energy" comes from. I got a LOT from this course.

This is a very good overview of Myers briggs. The instructor breaks down each category and really explains them. I appreciated the way he explained how Myers briggs can be used in the work place. Remembering that not everyone is the same as you, and not everyone experiences the world the same way is important in building teams.

This course was very helpful in arriving at my preferences which explains why I enjoy the work I do. Neil does an excellent job listing the qualities for each dichotomy and provides relatable examples to help distinguish between the two (i.e., judging verses perceiving). Great and efficient overview on the Myers-Briggs!

Good overview of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the four dichotomies. It has been many years since I had any exposure to Myers-Briggs, and this was an interesting refresher. I started thinking about my team and how we work together, and I think I took some good information from this course.

Neil is an amazing speaker - interesting, animated, personal in story-sharing, and very easy to follow. This course provides an excellent window into the dimensions that make up an individual's personality and how understanding those attributes can help to improve interaction in the workplace.

Good refresher of the MBTI. I had evaluated my type indicators quite a while ago and found that a couple of my preferences had changed over time (Judging - Perceiving dichotomy)
Course covers decent amount of ground in approx 1hr, so a pretty efficient learning module.

This course is interesting and definitely describes the different types of people in the workplace. I feel if you take this course and then take the test you are more likely to change your answer if you want to fit in with a company. Stick to your true self.

I have heard of the Myers Briggs type indicator but this was the first time I actually heard any discussions of the various characteristics. It was interesting to see the opposites but also how some folks cross over into both sides.
Sherman Bamford

I learned a lot about myself - or did I? This course led me to rethink preconceptions I had about the four types - and about who is an E/I N/S T/F J/P and how they experience life. Included things I had never thought of before.

Excellent comparisons & detailed traits for the 4 types. Would like to have examples of how the various 4 combos interact / related to each other. And how this interaction plays out in workplace teams to accomplish tasks.

Good overview of Myers-Briggs. Anecdotal explanations of the differences in dichotomies are helpful...the more, the better! This applies the information to personal experiences we can relate to. Thank you.

The professor is very good at explaining through examples and is modest enough to admit his own myers brigs preferences and use them as examples which is fun to hear and makes sense because it rings true.
