{ENERGY ATTITUDE (E/I) PRESENTATION NOTES}
.one
{Be prepared with examples and stories which demonstrate E/I differences.  Personal stories will have the greatest impact and relevance to the participants.  Test these with an experienced TypeWatcher to make sure they clearly highlight only the E/I dichotomy.}
.two
{Use the examples in <i>Type Talk<n>, <i>Type Talk at Work<n> or <i>16 Ways To Love Your Lover<n> until you find your own examples.}
.three
{You may have a particular "soapbox" to mention on this dichotomy.  For example, prejudice in classroom participation (usually an E-biased requirement, leading to "institutionalized Type-ism").}
.four
{It is helpful to have something visual to support you in discussing each dichotomy.  This might include:}
.foura
{A "T Bar" format.  Prepare a page (flipchart paper, overhead transparency, white board, etc.) that has a giant "T" in the center.  Write "ENERGY" above the crossbar.  Place "E - Extravert" on the left and "I - Introvert" on the right.}
.foura1
{Complete the "T Bar" ahead of time with a list of words that are descriptive of the E/I preference dichotomy to present to your group or complete through engaging the participants in a discussion of descriptive words for each of the preferences and record as they are identified (see Aids and Handouts).}
.fourb
{An overhead transparency or handout of descriptive E/I words to engage the group in a discussion of this dichotomy (see Aids and Handouts).}
.fourc
{A handout of E/I Highlights to engage the group in a discussion of this dichotomy.  These highlights are also listed below to help you prepare for group discussion. (see Aids and Handouts).}
.fourd
{Cartoons reprinted on overhead transparencies that humorously depict the differences on a specific dichotomy.  This is challenging to find and prepare, but enormously entertaining for participants.  Again, check with an experienced TypeWatcher to make sure that your cartoon illustration clearly highlights one dichotomy and one dichotomy only.  (An example:  Single frame - An executive talking to her staff saying, "I did not expect you to do all those projects, I was just thinking out loud!")  Be attentive to copyright issues.}
.five
{Energy Attitude (E/I) Highlights (see Aids and Handouts).}
.fivea
{The distribution in the general population for the Energy Attitude (E/I) is roughly 70% E and 30% I.}
.fiveb
{C. G. Jung said that this is the most important difference of all.  He coined both the terms Extravert and Introvert to describe the direction of our energy flow.  For him this was an "attitude" or behavior.}
.fivec
{C. G. Jung said that Introverts and Extraverts are attracted to each other in powerful ways.}
.fived
{Because this attitude is a behavior, these preferences are more easily observed and can be rewarded and punished.  Some school systems reward Extraversion, for example by grading students on class participation.}
.fivee
{Often Introverts can be diminished because our society and our work environments are public and require interaction (biased toward Extraversion).}
.fivef
{Extraverts need to be aware that they may shut down conversation and may need to practice their listening skills.}
.fiveg
{To access the true strength of the Introvert, we must allow reflective time even if perceived by others as a "waste of time."}
.fiveh
{The "open door" policy is the Extraverted model and the "behind closed door" policy as an Introverted model.  Organizations must provide for both.}
.fivei
{Remember -- We can access both attitudes, but we prefer one over the other.}
