MBTI Workshop  Thursday, March 6, 2014, 4:30-6:15pm* Clapp Library Lecture Room 

Using the Myers Briggs Type Indicator can help you understand who you are and how you make career choices. Are you a reflective person who makes decisions based on your values? Are you a conceptual thinker who likes to plan your day? Or, are you a pragmatist who goes with the flow?  How does knowing this help you choose a potential career?  Register for this event by Monday, February 24, on MyCWS.  Registered participants will be notified by email once they have been given access to take the MBTI.  You must complete the MBTI assessment by Monday evening, March 3.  Allow approximately30 minutes of uninterrupted time to complete the assessment, considering your answer to each question from within, rather than focusing on any expectations of others or societal pressure you may feel to respond in a particular way. A group MBTI interpretation will be held on Thursday, March 6, 4:30-6:15pm, Clapp Library Lecture Room.  A minimum of ten participants is required to run a workshop. Join us! *There are two MBTI workshops this semester -- one on March 6 and another on April 1. If you are already registered for the 4/1 workshop, you're good to go for that date. Please note:  Individual interpretations are available by appointment.  To request an appointment with a counselor, first register for the event above and then email Liz O'Connell [[email protected]].
