.Material1
{Flipchart paper (several sheets) for each group}
.Material2
{Markers}
.Material3

.Instruct1
{Choose a topic for participants to discuss.  This could include:  What to do with time, money, goals, or a calendar?}
.Instruct2
{<BI>Variation:<N>  If you have a large group of Js and Ps, or if you want to have multiple groups of Js and Ps participating at the same time, you can give each pair of groups a different topic.}
.Instruct3
{Separate the participants into groups according to their preference score or clarity (see Trainer Tips).  Provide them with flipchart paper and markers.}
.Instruct4
{Give the participants the following instructions:}
.Box1
{"On the flipchart paper, as a group, give a written response to the following.  What to do with (Pick one from above).  You have 10 minutes to complete this assignment."}
.Debrief1
{Have each group share verbally their reports without telling the participants which group is J or P.  Hear each group's report before processing the differences in the large group.}
.Debrief2
{Ask the group:  "What, if any, differences did you observe in these reports?"}
.Debrief3
{Facilitate a discussion highlighting the differences and weave into it, if not already obvious, how different these behaviors are and, if not understood, how irritating they can be.}
.Debrief4
{To complete the group debriefing, give a brief presentation and a handout to reinforce J/ P differences and group learnings.  (See Good J/P Words and J/P Highlights handouts.)}
