The versatility of MBTI!
Courtesy of Carol Schrammel--our UExplore facilitator for our April 15, 2009 session--we bring to you a neat, little tidbit about how the MBTI is being used by Champlain College in Burlington, VT to help incoming freshman, resident assistants, and other officials to establish rules for a shared room and deal with potential conflicts.
http://www.insidehighered.com/layout/set/print/news/2008/12/12/myersbriggs
Champlain College began requiring all of its incoming students to complete the MBTI before arriving on campus as part of a newly launched “life skills” program.
While the students are not informed of their individual results when completing roommate agreements, they are asked to self-identity with their perceived personality when getting to know their roommates.
Then, later on in the semester, if conflict arises between roommates, this information can be used by resident assistants to mediate a resolution.
According to a representative of the publishing company for the MBTI, “The MBTI helps people understand their differences and appreciate them. It’s not about saying this person does this correctly or incorrectly. If you have this preference and I have another preference, how can we live together?”
What do you think about using the MBTI in this way?
Would you have wanted to know this information as a freshman?
