Portland Chapter of the Association for Psychological Type
Our organization is for anyone interested in learning more about personality type for professional or personal applications. In other words, we learn about the patterns of human behavior so we can understand ourselves and others better.
We typically meet on the 2nd Saturday morning of September, November, January, March and May from 9 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. We have an all-day workshop once a year. And, we have other gatherings when Type experts come to town or just to get together. We’re a community of welcoming folks. It doesn’t matter how little or how much you know about type, come to a meeting and learn something new.
Next Regular Meeting: Saturday May 12, 2012, 9 a.m – 11:30 a.m.
Helper or Servant? Understanding Dominant/Auxiliary Function Dynamics
Too much information gathering and too little decision-making may result in a wandering path and lack of focus. Too much decision-making and to little information gathering can create a closed mind or decisions that are not based on substance.
In this workshop we’ll learn how to balance your dominant and auxiliary functions to better navigate through daily life. It’s not an equal balance; come find out what that means, why the dominant function must be captain and how the auxiliary function can be more of a trusted helper and encourage our type development.
Presenter Arlene Richter, M.Ed., MBTI® Certified (ENTJ) attended the APTi Biannual Conference last summer and the session “Dominant and Auxiliary Function Dynamics: Developing the Auxiliary Function from Servant to Helper Role”. Fascinated by the concepts of type development, Arlene will share ideas learned from this session, which was originally presented by Elizabeth Kendall and Leanne Harris.
