Just
My Type:
The Personality Game
Add an exhilarating and meaningful exercise to any training session.
Just My Type is a fun, revealing card game based on Jung’s
theory of personality types.
By trading and discussing cards and fashioning a hand that best
captures their personality style, players learn about 4 personality
dimensions: Extraversion/Introversion, Sensing/Intuition,
Thinking/Feeling, and Judging/Perceiving. The game gives
participants an opportunity to discuss how behavior preferences
impact their relationships with others and how they can work
together more effectively and productively.
Learning Outcomes
-
Discover one’s personal style
-
Understand differences in behavior preferences
-
Identify behavior strengths and blind spots
-
Build acceptance and understanding of those with different
behavior preferences
Theory
This dynamic card game is based upon concepts developed by Carl
Jung. His theory suggests that there are 8 personality preferences
that we all use at different times. These 8 preferences are
organized into 4 pairs of contrasting dimensions. Each dimension
represents a particular way we respond to the world around us. For
example, where we focus our attention or how we make decisions is
determined by our preferences. Our preferences in each of the four
pairs combine into what is called a Personality Type.
The 4 pairs of dimensions and their relationship to our
personalities are as follows:
How It Works
Cards are divided into four “suits,” representing the 4 personality
dimensions. Each card contains an adjective relevant to a particular
personality style. For example, a Thinking card might contain the
word “logical.” Players are randomly dealt several cards from each
suit. Some of the cards may describe them, but many won’t. To
fashion a hand that best captures their personality style, players
trade and discuss cards. After the game, participant workbooks
provide an overview of personality types, short activities, and
instructions for generating and discussing an optional team profile.
