Personality types and your brain
Typology<br />
• Does our brain (or) mind fit a profile?<br />
• What profiles-typologies are there?<br />
• Does a typology describe mask or inner child?<br />
• Any proof in brain research?<br />
• Dangers of typology<br />
• Practical use
Can we frame our mind?<br />
Typology, character and persona<br />
Ir. <strong>Luc</strong> <strong>Sala</strong>
<strong>Mind</strong>, brain and soul<br />
• Is there a preferential pattern in our thinking,<br />
feeling, sensing?<br />
• How does an external signal travels from<br />
primal sensor to our conscious mind<br />
primes, archetype, feeling, emotion, image<br />
and finally thought (and vv), all filters and<br />
distortion
Perception,<br />
• Reality is perceived, constructed, personal<br />
• We sense energies, past-now-future, but very<br />
distorted, we create our own world<br />
• Thou are That<br />
Can our (personal) reality be classified, types,<br />
measured, framed and on waht level?
What do we see (in ourself or others)
Validity; a personality (framework) exist<br />
• In the sixties it was asserted that personality tests<br />
could not predict behavior with a significant<br />
correlation as attitudes and behavior were not<br />
stable, but varied with the situation. Predicting<br />
specific behavior by personality tests was then<br />
considered to be impossible, but later it was<br />
accepted that patterns of behavior by aggregating<br />
would yield some insights and that a “personality”<br />
does in fact exist.<br />
• However, in most people this is a persona or mask
Typologies<br />
• the Ayurvedic, kappa, vata, pitta<br />
• the astrological signs<br />
• Greco-Egyptian four temperaments or humours, which<br />
Galen named "sanguine", "melancholic", "choleric" and<br />
"phlegmatic"<br />
• the modern Big Five,<br />
• Jung’s 4 types<br />
• the MBTI, Myers-Briggs<br />
• the left/right hemispheric brain model,<br />
• the now discarded MacLean Triune Brain theory,<br />
• the A/B type of leader/follower<br />
• esoteric forms like the enneagram.
Big Five<br />
• "Big Five" factors (or Five Factor Model; FFM)<br />
model of personality, with five broad domains<br />
or dimensions of personality, openness<br />
(intellect), conscientiousness, extraversion,<br />
agreeableness, and neuroticism (OCEAN, or<br />
CANOE if rearranged).
Jung : 4 types of thinking x2
There is a neurological relation
Jung and Freud combined
Myers-Briggs<br />

Intuition Thinking (T) - (F) Feeling Judgment (J) - (P)<br />
Perception
enneagram
3 centers- 3 modes<br />
• Body-heart-mind<br />
sensing - feeling - thinking<br />
immediate - fast - slow<br />
• Extrovert-Denial-Introvert<br />
• 3 x 3 = 9 enneatypes
Enneagram 2
Overly complex
<strong>Human</strong> Design System<br />
• Alternative astrology<br />
• Makes<br />
design-personality<br />
distinction
Why<br />
• Quick scan<br />
• Mask operation works<br />
• Self-awareness<br />
• Work on the sharp point
Why not<br />
• What you is see is what you are - danger;<br />
projection<br />
• Profiling; the danger of typing<br />
• We live our image<br />
• Naming is framing<br />
• Just the mask; not for the inner child
I use it<br />
• Enneagram<br />
• Astrology (blind spots)<br />
• <strong>Human</strong> Design System<br />
• Discussion models
