What is the difference between a job and a career

Boston Celtics

This is all based on the work of a guy named

Carl Jung“Young”

And interpreted by Myers-Briggs

These concepts are not “black and white”

Generalizations

are interested in what is happening around them

are open and often talkative compare their own opinions with the

opinions of others like action and initiative easily make new friends or adapt to a

new group say what they think are interested in new people easily break unwanted relations

are interested in their own thoughts and feelings

need to have own territory often appear reserved, quiet and

thoughtful usually do not have many friends have difficulties in making new contacts like concentration and quiet do not like unexpected visits and

therefore do not make them work well alone

When interacting with others

Extroverted students enjoy working in groups. Consider in-class or outside-of-class group exercises and projects.

When new information is connected to existing information

Build a compare/ contrast table, flowchart, or concept map.

You see, everyone gathers information through their senses,

But what they do with it after that is how people differ.

People are either

Sensing

or

Intuitive

The "Sensing" preference absorbs data in a literal, concrete fashion.

“Sensers”

More at home when looking after the particulars of everyday living. ..

and to practical matters such as recreation and safety, and are likely to leave the more abstract issues to others.

•moderate to high degrees of structure•linear, sequential learning•need to know why before doing something•prefer the concrete, the practical, and the immediate•uncomfortable with abstract ideas•low tolerance for ambiguity

The path to educational excellence for sensing learners is usually a practice-to-theory route, - not the more traditional theory-to-practice approach.

Sensing Type (cont’d)

"Intuitive“ generates abstract possibilities from information that is gathered.

Intuitive tend to be more content when concrete concerns are handled by someone else and they are left free to consider the more abstract world of ideas.

•prefer to focus their perceptions on imaginative possibilities rather than on concrete realities.

•love the world of concepts, ideas, and abstractions. Prefer diversity in ideas and learning options are not uncomfortable with ambiguity.

Prefer open-ended instruction to highly structured instruction.

My new formula has just proven that you can never touch anything you try to

touch. Tell me what you think…

Given information: It is one mile to my home.

I want to go there

Question: Can I possibly travel one mile without first traveling ½ mile?

No

So I travel ½ mile and still have ½ mile to go…

Can I travel the remaining ½ mile without first traveling ¼ mile?

No

So I travel the ¼ mile and still have ¼ mile to go…

Can I travel the remaining 1/4 mile without first traveling 1/8 mile?

No

So I travel the 1/8 mile and still have 1/8 mile to go…

Can I travel the remaining 1/8 mile without first traveling 1/16 mile?

No

So I travel the 1/16 mile and still have 1/16 mile to go…

How do I ever get there?

Based on what you think.

Based on how you feel.

What’s the significance

of this?

Thinking is an ability to deal with information on the basis of its

structure and its function.

Feeling is an ability to deal with information on the basis of its

initial energetic condition and its interactions.
