I'm Not Crazy, I'm Just Not You

Why are people so different? There are lots of factors that make each of us who we are, but one important part is personality. There are 16 personality types and each type has a natural preference for the way it collects information, makes decisions, recharges its batteries and manages the world around it. In this track, each participant will complete the Meyers-Briggs Type Instrument and will get his/her results back on day 2. Once you know what type you are, you’ll better understand your own personality and those of the people around you so you can be more effective in your relationships with friends, partners, teams, and coworkers.

World Religions *Bring PIE Form!*

Why are we here? What happens to us after we die? How can we understand people with beliefs different than our own? What is the ultimate meaning of life?
