简介
Our job is to transform all of the most important relationships in your life. Colleagues, clients, family members – you will never look at people the same way again.
TypeCoach is the first company to combine an online platform with training designed to improve interpersonal communication. Graduates of our programs become adaptive communicators, and know how to recognize the different personality types in others and adjusting their approach accordingly.
Our Framework
We use two models of personality type in our work. The first is the 4 Temperaments framework popularized by David Keirsey, a California psychologist who, in the 1970s, helped shed light on this powerful model which has been seen throughout human history and across cultures. We use the Temperament framework because it explains so much of the WHY behind behaviors. Understanding the core drivers at the heart of someone else’s personality is powerful in the context of working together on a team, managing others, influencing or selling – and just living with family and friends whose actions stem from very different motivational sources.
We also use the Jung/Myers model. This model was originally developed by Dr. Carl Jung, a Swiss psychologist whose influence extends from the 1920s through today, and then further adapted and popularized by the designers of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator(r) (MBT(r)). We do not use the MBTI for a number of reasons, but we are staunch supporters of the underlying model of personality as it is both consistent with our own observations and work over the last 20 years and because it is central to how communication works (or doesn’t).
We use these two frameworks to help teams build trust, communicate, and outperform… to help leaders understand the different approaches they can take to bring out greatness in the people they are leading… and to help salespeople and those in key influencing roles to adjust their approach to convince people of very different perspectives to get on board with new products, services, ideas, etc.
With our tools being available for anyone involved in making a decision to use us, please reach out to try them for yourself. This two-minute demo will get you started.
性格类型偏好
The Jung/Myers model articulates 4 preference categories, and the idea that each person “prefers” one element more than the other. When we say “prefer” what we mean is that they find activities related to that preference to be more natural and energizing. We all spend parts of our day out of our preference and most people are adept at using both elements. Understanding the preferences in others is a powerful tool in adjusting one’s communication accordingly, because the most effective communicators don’t take the same approach with each person they meet. We’ve found that the Jung/Myers preferences are powerful to understand when it comes to how people take in and process information.
Key Considerations
在深入学习之前，值得注意的是，TypeCoach 的所有培训计划都以这些要点为出发点：
- 这些是 不是 标签（仅限于倾向）
- 所有 类型很好（没有好坏之分）
- 你 决定你最适合的类型！
- 提高认识（情商）
第一种偏好与我们如何 引导和接受我们的能量.外向者倾向于从外部世界获得能量，而内向者倾向于从内心世界获得能量。在工作场所和团队中，这体现在如何分享想法和如何进行最佳思考。
灯泡创新者 (直觉型）更喜欢专注于大局战略和未来愿景，因此创新意味着提出全新的做事方法。 工艺创新者 （传感器） 因此，创新意味着对现有事物进行改进。
一些同事思想家当别人直截了当、一针见血地对某个话题或决策进行逻辑分析时，他们的反应最好。其他人触须他们注重与同事建立和保持个人联系，如果没有定期的积极反馈，他们就会失去动力。
一些同事法官) 喜欢尽可能提前计划、准备、决定和开展工作，因此在计划改变或出现意外的复杂情况时会很纠结。其他人（感知器他们喜欢尽可能长时间地保留自己的选择，并对途中发生的变化充满活力。
气质
David Keirsey’s work to illuminate the 4 Temperament model also included integrating that framework with the Jung/Myers model. As you can see below, those with a Sensing preference and a Judging preference match up with the group we call Traditionalists. This group has been called many things over the years – everything from Guardians to Stabilizers. But the consistent element with this group is their desire to be reliable and responsible. Like all of the Temperaments, much of our actions (and those of others) can be traced back to their core values. This is our most fundamental “WHY” operating as a hidden source of motivation and energy.
Understanding the temperament of others is powerful as it first allows us to understand that just because someone is doing something we may not like or appreciate, it is often not their intent to frustrate or annoys us. Secondly, most of the major conflicts we experience in our lives occur when someone’s core values are being attacked (intentionally or otherwise) or when people approach a situation with opposing core values (a desire to innovate and advance vs. a desire to stick with the safe and known).
