Which role(s) do you think you fit into?

Carl Jung (1921) was a psychoanalyst who believed that people were either an introvert or an extrovert and that they acted instinctively on feelings or thoughts. He stated that in a team it is best to have a variety of personality types and to understand that no one type is better than any other. It is important to understand the team members and use their natural strengths. Knowing a preferred working style and being able to utilise it will strengthen the team. The colour types are outlined in Table 4.2.

This theory was expanded upon by Myers and Briggs in 1926 to make it more accessible to individuals. They created a short questionnaire to help discover a person’s personality type.
