{[When There is Not Adequate Time to Conduct A Workshop]}
.Number
{This design can be run with small or very large groups.}
.TimeMin
{5-10 minutes}
.TimeMax
{Time can vary depending on the needs of your audience}
.Object1
{To actively engage participants in a discussion about type}
.Object2
{To give participants a basic understanding of type and a desire to learn more}
.Sit1
{Your local Rotary Club wants a 20-minute speaker on type.}
.Sit2
{The local radio station wants you to talk about personality type and Jung's theory (you have 5 minutes).}
.Sit3
{A local group of medical students wants to talk about residency program selection over lunch.}
.Sit4
{You have two hours to discuss personality type with freshmen in a college dorm orientation.}
.Design1
{<B>Know your audience as best you can.<N>  For example, who is listening at that time of the day if it is TV or radio?  If it is a service club or public group, what is the composition of the group?  Knowing your audience can help you pinpoint specific areas of concern and illustrate issues accordingly. (For example, for the medical students inquiring about residency selection, review Isabel Briggs Myers' research on this subject.  Capture their interest with some specifics like the relationship between STJ and surgery, etc.)}
.Design2
{<B>Keep it simple and focus on basics.<N>  For the Rotary Club situation, pick any one dichotomy (e.g., T/F) and show the differences in a humorous way how the Objective decider and the Subjective decider make a purchase of a computer, car, appliance, etc.  For example, have the Rotary audience evaluate the Kodak Moment commercials for their appeal to the consumer.  They are clearly "people" driven and not "scientific" minded.  Because of this, they have missed some of the market share by not thinking about both sides of the buying public.  Then reinforce the overall value of personality type and suggest further reading.}
.Design3
{<B>Rely more on presentation and visual aids.<N>  Give a presentation to the college freshmen that emphasizes how personality differences between roommates can cause conflict and stress.  Reinforce this with cartoons and perhaps a one minute video clip from the movie, "The Odd Couple".  Have them pair up with their new roommate to talk about "norms for dorms."  End by stressing that if they don't understand these basic human differences, they may blame others rather than working to understand them.}
.Design4
{<B>Tell stories from personal experiences.<N>  Start your radio talk by indicating that Jung coined the terms Introversion and Extraversion.  Relate from your experience what it is like to be an Extraverted spouse or parent with an Introverted spouse or child.  Once you have highlighted a particular situation to the listening audience, "open the phone lines" for discussion.}
.Design5
{<B>Remember that there are audio tapes, video and movie excerpts, and cartoons to help you make a TypeWatching point.<N>  Otto's audio tape on "Laughing all the Way" and Otto and Janet's tape, "When Extraverts and Introverts Meet: A Never Ending Dilemma" are very good training aids (see Resources).  Be sure whatever you use does not violate Copyright Laws.}
