Myers Briggs with HSP Overlay
What is the Myers Briggs Type Inventory?
The Myers Briggs does not attempt to define a static, predefined personality type, but rather helps to provide pathways to a greater understanding of self and others, while also helping to identify strengths, weaknesses, and limitations as well as provide opportunities for personal, professional or spiritual growth.
The Myers Briggs/HSP Overlay class is offered four times each year: Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring.
“Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.”
There are three parts to this online (Zoom) workshop:
Part One: 1.5 – 2 hours, Saturday, April 2, 2022
After learning about the 8 preferences and what they measure, AND, most importantly, how they overlap the HSP trait, you will self-identify your MBTI type. We will use the statistically valid and reliable 93 question inventory for final clarification.
Part Two: 1.5 hours – 2 hours, Saturday, April 9, 2022
You will learn about the Dominant, Auxiliary, Tertiary, and the Least Preferred functions of your type as identified in Part One. This is perhaps one of the most overlooked, yet crucial aspects of learning about type and how to apply it in your life.
Part Three: 1.5 hours, Saturday, April 16
We will use this time to share what we have learned and integrated about our Myers Briggs type and our HSP self-identity, plus time for questions and answers.
- To differentiate between five temperaments: introversion, extroversion, the sensitive introvert, the sensitive extrovert, the ambivert
- Why many HSPs may have felt they were “swimming upstream” from the dominant culture
- Why many HSPs may have felt more challenged to meet goals they have set for themselves
- The major confusion about the HSP Extravert – and why there may be more sensitive extroverts than we previously thought – (Hint: social anxiety ?)
- Why someone might have different scores each time they have taken a Myers Briggs assessment
- Why scoring “right in between” two preferences such as the J and P or E and I does not indicate one is “well-balanced” between the two
- About your least preferred function (the inferior function) and why this is crucial to what Carl Jung called full type spiritual individuation, and how the least preferred function can serve you
- Why we need all 16 types and why HSPs need non-HSPs and vice versa;
- To better understand the similarities and differences among people
- How your family of origin or school experience may have erroneously influenced your authentic self; and
- How Differential Susceptibility can affect how affect your introvert or extrovert preferences

"Good type development can be achieved at any age by anyone who cares to understand his or her own gifts and the appropriate use of those gifts.”

“When people differ, a knowledge of type lessens friction and eases strain. In addition it reveals the value of differences. No one has to be good at everything.”
