Add an exhilarating and meaningful exercise to any training session. Just My Type is a fun, revealing card game based on Jung’s theory of personality types. By trading and discussing cards and fashioning a hand that best captures their personality style, players learn about four personality dimensions: Extraversion/Introversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, and Judging/Perceiving. The game gives participants an opportunity to discuss how behavior preferences impact their relationships with others and how they can work together more effectively and productively.

How It Works

Cards are divided into four "suits," representing the four personality dimensions. Each card contains an adjective relevant to a particular personality style. For example, a "thinking card" might contain the word "logical." Players are randomly dealt several cards from each suit. Some of the cards may describe them, but many won't. To fashion a hand that best captures their personality style, players trade and discuss cards. After the game, participant workbooks provide an overview of personality types, short activities, and instructions for generating and discussing an optional team profile.

Learning Outcomes

  • Discover one's personal style
  • Understand differences in behavior preferences
  • Identify behavior strengths and blind spots
