.Intro
{Audio tapes and CDs provide a positive reinforcement of a person's leanings about type.  They are very helpful teaching aids for people who prefer to learn in an auditory manner.  The versatility of the media allows them to be listened to in the car or as background while doing other things.

There are tapes and CDs available for all sixteen types and other specific topical areas (the CDs have four types on each CD, grouped by temperament.)  If you plan to work with audio tapes or CDs, it is good to have the necessary tapes or CDs available.  For example, if conducting a workshop where you want to highlight E/I differences, consider the Extravert and Introvert title to be an excellent resource.  A list of available OKA audio tapes and CDs is included at the OKA Web Site choice in the Help menu.

Some suggestions on how to use the OKA audio tapes and CDs with workshops and clients include:}
.personal1
{Have individuals and the people with whom they choose to discuss their type listen to their type-related audio tape or CD and discuss insights.}
.personal2
{Give a specific tape or CD to individuals who are interested in exploring another type.  Give instructions to report back learnings they have about the other type after listening to the material.}
.personal3
{Provide workshop participants who are interested in enriching their learnings a copy of their audio tape or CD to take home that evening.}
.personal4
{In workshops, consider having type-alike groups listen to their tapes or CDs to reinforce learnings and to stimulate discussion.}
.personal5
{In workshops, consider using selected tapes or excerpts (e.g., "Laughing all the Way" humor title or others) to provide another teaching medium to the workshop and to focus more in depth on a particular subject.}
.personal6
{Share the different type-specific titles among team members or co-workers with the intention of discussing potential issues, both positive and negative that arise.}
.persona7
{Where tension exists between team members or co-workers, distribute the tapes or CDs of the types involved.  Instruct them to listen for those areas of tension on which the team members need to focus, report out these issues, and begin to deal with them as needed.}
.personal8
{If a boss's type is known and if the boss is open to feedback, listen to that particular tape or CD.  Generate a list of items or behaviors that either help or hinder working with him/her.}
.personal9
{Have tapes or CDs available that deal with organizational dynamics (e.g., gender differences, E/I, issue identification).  Play the title in its entirety or in excerpt form to those impacted and discuss.}
