- “Does "Personality Type" Matter in Relationships?”
- With: Yvonne Blockie, MA, MFT
Have you ever wondered why you are attracted to personality types opposite of your style, and later been totally frustrated by the differences?
Opposites attract, no doubt about it. However, for the committed relationship, we need an understanding of the different styles and the implications for compatibility and harmony. We will explore the MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Inventory) attributes of Introversion/Extraversion and Judging/Perceiving, since these functions contribute to our social interactions and time management. These functions tend to present the most challenge to couples.
Join us in exploring whether your natural gifts are about:
- Being very social, outgoing, and getting energized by other people
- Being reflective, preferring 1:1 or small groups, and getting energized by internal experiences
- Being organized, structured, planful and preferring schedules
- Being flexible, adaptable, and loving spontaneous events
