Just My Type

Just My Type

Just My Type is an interactive game that turns Carl Jung’s powerful personality theory into an engaging experience of self-discovery and connection. Through playful exploration of eight core personality preferences – organized into four key dimensions – you’ll uncover what drives your behavior, how you make decisions, and how you relate to others. Whether you're using it with a team, in a workshop, or just for fun, Just My Type helps participants quickly recognize their own strengths, appreciate differences, and build more effective relationships.

Overview

Just My Type is an engaging personality game inspired by the groundbreaking work of Carl Jung. Built on the idea that we all have natural preferences in how we think, feel, and interact, the game helps you explore the four key dimensions that shape personality – and how your unique combination forms your “Personality Type.”

Much like being left- or right-handed, we all have ways of approaching the world that feel more natural. Just My Type helps you uncover these preferences in yourself and others through play. It’s a fun, insightful way to boost self-awareness, strengthen communication, and build better relationships on any team.

How It Works

Just My Type is a fun, dynamic card game based on four personality types:

  • Extraversion/introversion
  • Sensing/intuition
  • Thinking/feeling
  • Judging/perceiving

Cards are divided into four "suits," representing the four personality dimensions. For example, a "thinking card" might contain the word "logical." Players are randomly dealt several cards from each suit.

Players trade and discuss cards to fashion a hand that best captures their personality style. After the game, participant workbooks provide an overview of personality types, short activities, and instructions for generating and discussing an optional team profile.

Just My Type also allows participants to discuss how behavioral preferences impact their relationships with others. They then use these tips to discover how to work together more effectively.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this workshop, participants will do the following:

  • Discover their style
  • Understand differences in behavior preferences
  • Identify behavior strengths and blind spots
  • Build acceptance and understanding towards different behavioral preferences

Uses and Applications

The primary objective of Just My Type is to provide trainers with a fast and fun method for learning how behavior impacts employee relationships. Playing the game provides an opportunity to discuss each preference so teams can work more effectively and productively.

How to use Just My Type:

  • As an ice breaker or introduction to any workshop
  • To provide a quick and practical introduction to personality type theory
  • As a highly educational and experiential activity within a workshop
  • To develop team cohesiveness through awareness and acceptance of individual preferences
