Pam Fox Rollin:
What We Can Learn From a Coach Approach to Type Interpretations
by Elma Tulloch-Reid, Communications Committee, APT eChapter
Members from across the United States and Canada joined in to hear
Pam Fox Rollin present how coaching principles can be applied to
verifying type and deepening the learning during type
interpretations. Rollin points out we need to be aware that we
sometimes lose clients due to information overload. They can be
confused on their type with no process for clarification and may
adopt a type that is not best-fit. To avoid these pitfalls the
coach must also offer:
-
stance
and Intention which leads to acceptance and empowerment
through encouraging the idea you are whole, you have choices, you
are responsible, you are creative, and you are resourceful;
-
questions and dialogue which leads to learning and actions
by inviting reflection, discovery, flexibility, commitment,
observations and real-time reactions; and
-
experience and tools to help function in a more effective
and efficient ways which could include field work and reporting
and sharing of various observations.
She emphasized that the coach should consider the phrase My
Intention and create a learning conversation with the
client in which they can recognize and value their own ways of
functioning and ask hard questions which provoke thought, ex. How
are they reacting to what is happening? Or, When have current
frustrations been felt before? And, How do you manage stress outside
your preferences? It is not just about leaving a session with a
four letter type but is it is necessary to have the client engage in
the “so what” for them and work toward benefits with follow
up plans.
Our next teleconference will be held on Tuesday, December 12, 2006.
Jane Kise will present Chameleon Coaching. Kise will discuss
designing staff development workshops, individual teacher coaching,
and lesson planning that brings about deep change in teachers and
students. The techniques translate to the world of business as
well.

Katherine W Hirsh and Elizabeth Hirsh:
Enriching Your Practice: Ideas Inspired by Jung's Life
by Marilyn Parente, President, APT eChapter
Our second program was fantastic and saw an increase of 50% in
participants. June 8 brought us Enriching Your Practice:
Ideas Inspired by Jung’s Life, presented by Katherine W. Hirsh
and Elizabeth Hirsh. Katherine, on the Board of the eChapter as a
Member-At-Large and VP of Festivities, along with her sister
Elizabeth, introduced several methods inspired by Jung’s life help
in building on knowledge of Psychological Type. The outcome of
using the techniques makes workshops and training sessions more
meaningful, and their impact longer-lasting. They explored the
application of these methods to issues such as leadership, work
relationships, and career development.
Interweaving Jung’s own experiences and activities with techniques
for organization, education, and private practitioners,
participants were provided handouts to explore the exercises on a
personal level before using them with others. The Hirshes invited
us to create our own Dream Retreats, inspired by Jung’s own “Bollingen.”
Not meant to be enjoyed alone, participants were asked to invite
dream guests and design an invitation that characterizes and
welcomes them to the retreat.

Otto Kroeger:
The Power of the MBTI® Unscored Items
by Saundra Stroope, VP Communications, APT eChapter
We had 25 participants and Otto Kroeger join us for our inaugural
APT eChapter teleconference, representing 3 continents, 2
hemispheres, and across 9 different time zones!
Kroeger presented an overview of his longitudinal study of college
retention using the 32 unscored items on Form G of the
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) instrument.
At the insistence of Isabel Myers, Form G
included 32 unscored items. These items were key to research
Myers was pursuing, but never completed or published. After
nearly thirty years in the field, Kroeger uncovered the same
patterns in the unscored items that Myers hypothesized about so
many years ago.
Through ongoing research and years of client consultation and
observation, Kroeger discovered that in addition to helping
validate type, the 32 unscored items on the Indicator yield
powerful insights into issues of authority, self-esteem, temper,
financial stress, and other factors of tremendous importance to
clients. These patterns are not present in the scored items.
Early results indicate that key patterns in the unscored items
can predict, with over 70% accuracy, individuals who will
encounter issues within themselves or the educational system that
will threaten their success in their chosen academic programs.
Although not yet published, resources are under development to
assist college career counselors in providing guidance for these
students.
Additional patterns in the unscored items are being explored for
use in the medical field. Studies are currently in progress to
gather data that may provide compelling insights on type and
health issues like heart attacks and cancer. These same 32
unscored items are also present on Form F of the MBTI®.
Kroeger’s presentation was followed by a Q&A session and a summary
of upcoming events. Our next meeting will be held on June 8,
2006. Katherine W. Hirsh and Elizabeth Hirsh will lead the
session on Enriching Your Practice: Ideas Inspired by Jung's
Life.
