It introduces multiple workplace personality models, then focuses on the MBTI framework derived from Jung’s theories. The core of the discussion outlines four preference pairs, shows how each preference can shape behaviour, and clarifies that preferences are not fixed abilities or absolute judgments. It further describes MBTI dynamics across the 16 types, including stress patterns.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/how-understanding-personality-types-can-improve-team-performance-andrew-mee/293083/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/how-understanding-personality-types-can-improve-team-performance-andrew-mee/293083.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Ethan Miller","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-07","2026-09-17",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",14,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"Which personality assessment models are mentioned besides MBTI?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"The text references DiSC and Talent Dynamics, Hogan, and Belbin’s team roles as additional workplace- and perception-focused tools.","Answer",{"name":116,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":117},"What are the four MBTI preference pairs described?",{"text":118,"@type":114},"The document lists Extraversion (E) vs Introversion (I), Sensing (S) vs Intuition (N), Thinking (T) vs Feeling (F), and Judging (J) vs Perceiving (P).",{"name":120,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":121},"How does MBTI explain behaviour under stress?",{"text":122,"@type":114},"It states that preferences interact within each of the 16 types and that the dominant function is exaggerated when stressed; during extreme stress, the inferior function can take over, described as “in the grip.”","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":125,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":127,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":129,"site_id":62},293083,1789659406,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":132},{"doc_id":129,"user_id":133,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":134,"doc_module":4,"category_id":39,"category_name":40,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":135,"file_id":136,"file_url":137,"file_type":138,"file_size":139,"view_count":105,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":52,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":130,"read_time":144,"preview_page_count":4},687207017582,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_994ba38a5ba835b3df7d355c54d3ed8d","HOW UNDERSTANDING PERSONALITY TYPES CAN IMPROVE TEAM PERFORMANCE – ANDREW MEE  \nHow understanding personality types can improve team performance  \nAndy Mee BVSc, PhD, MBA, MRCVS  \nSenior Lecturer in Healthcare Management Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS)  \nMBTI ® Certified Practitioner  \nPersonality types and different models  \nThere is a large range of different ‘personality tests’ available. Typically, coaches and others who use the test will have their own personal favourite(s) . Several of the tests focus on the workplace, such as DiSC and Talent Dynamics. Others focus on how you are perceived by your colleagues, such as Hogan. Some can be used to help make decisions when hiring new members of staff (again, e.g. Hogan) . You may also be familiar with Belbin and the ‘team roles’ that can be assessed.  \nThe Myers Briggs Type Indicator® was developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother Katharine Briggs, based on the work and theories of Carl Jung. One of the reasons that I prefer the MBTI® is that it applies in all aspects of your life, not just at work, and so has wider utility (in my opinion…) .  \nIn small teams, typical of many veterinary practices, having a better understanding of the way people react to certain situations can be extremely enlightening and helpful. Understanding ‘what makes otherstick’ can help harmonise team working, and this, along with utilising the key strengths of certain types, can help to improve overall team performance.  \nFocus on MBTI  \nIntroduction to the 4 pairs of opposite preferences:  \nJung observed that everyone uses two kinds of mental processes:  \nWe take in information and then we make decisions about that information. Everyone has preferred ways of using these mental processes.  \nJung also observed that we all live in two worlds:  \nThe outer world of people, things and events and  \nthe inner world of our own feelings, thoughts, and reflections  \nEveryone has a preference for, and is typically energised by, either the outer world or the inner world.  \nJung believed that preferences are innate – ‘inborn predispositions’. He also recognised that they are shaped by environmental influences, such as family, culture, and education – ‘Nature vs Nurture’.  \nThe MBTI ® instrument indicates preferences on four pairs of opposites (like our right and left hands), called dichotomies:  \nExtraversion E or I Introversion  \nSensing S or N Intuition  \nThinking T or F Feeling  \nJudging J or P Perceiving  \nPreferences are not absolutes: we all use both sides of each pair, but one is our natural preference (like left-or right-handedness) . The MBTI ® instrument is designed to indicate those inborn preferences, but isnot designed to measure skills or effects of the environment.  \nPreferences are not abilities: MBTI® preference does not tell you what you can and can’t do; it should not be used to make selection decisions when hiring new staff. There are no better types; all types have potential.  \nPeople are the best judges of their own Type-hence the MBTI® questionnaire is an indicator not a test.  \nHow each type preference influences behaviour:  \nE : I  \nPeople with a preference for extraversion get energy from the outer environment of people and experiences. They focus their energy and attention outwards in action.  \nPeople with a preference for introversion get energy from the inner environment of reflections and thoughts. They focus their energy and attention inwards in reflection.  \nS : N  \nPeople with a preference for sensing prefer information from the five senses. They focus on what is real and value practical applications.  \nPeople with a preference for intuition prefer information from association. They focus on what might be and value imagination and insight.  \nT : F  \nPeople with a preference for thinking prefer to make decisions on the basis of logic and objectivity. They are quick to see errors and give a critique. They tend to step out of situations in order to analyse dispassionat","cbCainpeidiBXlPn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainpeidiBXlPn","pdf",590178,"English","# Personality types and different models\n# Focus on MBTI\n## The 4 pairs of opposite preferences\n## How each type preference influences behaviour\n# The Dynamics of MBTI","[{\"question\":\"Which personality assessment models are mentioned besides MBTI?\",\"answer\":\"The text references DiSC and Talent Dynamics, Hogan, and Belbin’s team roles as additional workplace- and perception-focused tools.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the four MBTI preference pairs described?\",\"answer\":\"The document lists Extraversion (E) vs Introversion (I), Sensing (S) vs Intuition (N), Thinking (T) vs Feeling (F), and Judging (J) vs Perceiving (P).\"},{\"question\":\"How does MBTI explain behaviour under stress?\",\"answer\":\"It states that preferences interact within each of the 16 types and that the dominant function is exaggerated when stressed; during extreme stress, the inferior function can take over, described as “in the grip.”\"}]","How Understanding Personality Types Can Improve Team Performance - Andrew Mee | PDF",25]
