Contentment, Detachment, and Achievement. The 3-in-1.

Contentment, Detachment, and Achievement. The 3-in-1. When I was a young boy one of my favorite activities was action. Anything that required movement and required me to concentrate my focus on my proprioceptive awareness was good. Apparently, when I would walk around, and this started when I first started talking, I would walk around and point my fing...

Personality Types, Myers-Briggs, and Me. Oh, My!

In her book The 8 Colors of Fitness by Suzanne Brue she outlines the main types according to the MBTI type indicator and it’s overlap to health and fitness. Her book is an attempt to answer the question, “What keeps people in a regular exercise program year after year while others drop out?” The chapters of her book are broken down into:

1. Finding your fitness personality
2. Motivation: why do you exercise?
3. Approach and focus: how do you exercise and engage your mind?
4. Environment and interpersonal connections
5. Putting it all together

In July of this past year, I attended a four-day training put on by CPP, Inc., the exclusive publisher of the MBTI assessment. CPP, Inc., the publisher of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator tool, has been researching, improving, and publishing the MBTI assessment for over 50 years. CPP, Inc. started when one psychology professor from Stanford and one from U.C. Berkley came together with a common goal: to use research-based psychological assessments to give people the insight and guidance they need to develop in both their personal and professional lives. The MBTI instrument was created by the pioneering work of Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. The theory of psychological types comes from Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung (1875-1961) who wrote that what appears to be random behavior is actually the result of differences in the way people prefer to use their mental capacities. Jung observed that people generally engage in one of two mental functions:

1. Taking in information, which he called perceiving or
2. Organizing information and coming to conclusions, which he called judging

“When people differ, a knowledge of type lessens friction and eases strain. In addition, it reveals the value of differences. No one has to be at everything.” Isabel Briggs Myers

Why would a personal trainer take a psychological typing course? What did I learn at the MBTI training? How does this apply to Dominic’s training style? What is special about the book The 8 Colors of Fitness by Suzanne Brue?
