When the participants in the panel interviews for their type take their seats, you see diversity: men and women, older and younger people, and differences in terms of lifestyle, religion, origin, profession, and clothing. Then the interview starts and the participants tell their stories. In a fascinating way, this kind of panel interview shows how people with the same type have had similar experiences, list comparable examples, and share the same anecdotes. They have developed the same types of strengths and encounter the same problems in life and in their relationships. The people often recognize a great deal in the other participants. It can be a true revelation: “I’m not the only person to whom this happens constantly.” Often, the participants in the panel give each other support and advice and have the desire to talk to each other afterward. In a wonderful way, the audience also increasingly understands how much the participants in the panel resemble each other in certain respects. This becomes ever more visible as soon as you learn to look past the external differences.
