.Applicatio
{Applications are specific TypeWatching activities designed to help a group or individuals apply their understanding of type at either the personal, organizational, or teambuilding level.  Applications assume that clients have an understanding of type and have completed an introductory workshop.}
.Auxiliary Function 
{The function or process that is second in importance, supporting the dominant; providing balance in the personality.  It is the extraverted function for Introverts.}
.Basics
{Basics refers to the first stage of training and consulting used in the TypeWatching Toolkit.  At this stage, the trainer's goal is to motivate participants to know their type and to be open to share their type with coworkers, friends, and family.  At this introductory level, the desired outcome is that participants validate their four-letter type and have the ability to talk clearly and accurately about their preferences.}
.Beyond
{Beyond Basics is the second stage of training and consulting in the TypeWatching Toolkit.  At this stage participants have a solid grounding in their type and understand the types of others.  The desired outcome at this stage is that participants begin to apply type in their daily lives, both at work and at home.}
.BasicThree
{The Basic Three is a workshop activity that summarizes three basic learnings for any introductory session.  It was developed because many people who have participated in a TypeWatching workshop, did so with much enjoyment and personal insight yet, often they later forgot not only their four-letter preference, but the usefulness of understanding their type in daily life.}
.Dominant Function 
{The most favorite, dependable and ruling force of one's personality.  It is the most conscious and differentiated, and the extraverted function for extraverts.}
.Exercise
{An exercise is a specific activity in which individuals or a group participate.  Exercises in the Toolkit are designed to allow participants to "experience" some aspect of their type and to discuss this with other participants who are also learning about their type.}
.Extraver
{The attitude that orients attention and energy to the outer world of people, places, and things.}
.Feeling
{One of the two judging functions that makes decisions by considering choices in terms of personal, subjective values and the impact on other people.}
.Fishbowl
{This is a training technique in which a group of participants sit in the middle of a group in a circle or "fishbowl" fashion.  While they are conducting an activity or exercise, the remainder of the group is observing the process.}
.GroupType
{Group or team type is determined by taking the larger number on each of the dichotomies (e.g., 15 Es and 12 Is would be an E group; 17 Ss and 10 Ns would be an S group).  If a dichotomy has an equal number of participants (e.g., 5 Js and 5 Ps) the group type would be determined as is type, breaking to the right.}
.Inferior
{The opposite of the dominant function also called the fourth function.  The inferior function is assumed to be the most in the unconscious, the least accessible, and a source of both problems and potential for growth.  In Jungian theory, the inferior function is considered the gateway to the shadow.}
.Introver
{The attitude that orients attention and energy to the inner world of ideas, thoughts, and concepts.}
.Intuition
{One of the two perceptive functions that focuses on the meanings, relationships, symbols, and possibilities when observing the world.  It is often referred to as the sixth sense.}
.Lifestyle
{Isabel Briggs Myers extended Jung's theory to make more explicit "what is used in the outer world."  Therefore, the last dichotomy on the MBTIŽ reflects this dynamic. Judgers or Js prefer a lifestyle that is structured, scheduled, and seeks closure.  Perceivers or Ps prefer a lifestyle that is spontaneous, free-flowing, and is open- ended.}
.ModalType
{The largest single number within a distribution or a four-letter type that is most represented within a group.  For example, if you have a group with six INTJs and no other type has more than five represented, then the modal (most common) type will be INTJ.  If a group has two types, each of which is the most represented (e.g., six INTJs and six ISTJs then the group would be bi-modal  - INTJ/ISTJ).}
.Pathways
{A term used in the TypeWatching Toolkit to indicate the strengths of a particular four-letter type, individual preference, or combination of preferences.}
.Pitfalls
{A term used in the TypeWatching Toolkit to indicate the weaknesses of a particular four-letter type, individual preference, or combination of preferences.}
.Projection
{The process by which individuals attribute their own faults to others.  Projection distorts reality and promotes blaming others for ones own inadequacies. Projection is the way we excuse or explain our faulty behavior.}
.ReportForm
{A form used to record scored results from an individual in a visual and easy-to-understand way.  The OKA Report Form is included in the TypeWatching Toolkit and can be customized and printed for each of your clients.  See Reports menu.}
.Sensing
{One of the two perceptive functions that attends to experiences available to the senses.  People who are sensors trust the senses of touch, hearing, sight, smell, taste when gathering information about their world.}
.Temperamen
{A theory proposed by David Keirsey which suggests that certain two-letter combinations of one's four letter type, (NF, NT, SJ, SP) can give you more predictable behavior than any other combination.  David Keirsey, along with Marilyn Bates, published their temperament theory in a book entitled, <U>Please Understand Me<N> in 1978.}
.Thinking
{One of the two judging functions that makes decisions by considering choices in terms of cause-effect or objective, impersonal logical analysis.}
.TypeTemp
{This is the third stage of training and consulting used in the TypeWatching Toolkit.  Using type at this level allows participants to not only see and label behaviors typologically, but to apply their insights to increase their own and others' effectiveness.  Working at the Type as Template level often involves more of a consulting approach rather than a training approach.  This stage of TypeWatching will take a considerable commitment on the part of the trainer and client.}
.TypeChart
{A display of the sixteen types in a four by four matrix developed by Isabel Briggs Myers.  It is a useful (we'd say essential) way of looking at a group to quickly assess the configuration of individuals being considered.}
.TypeWatch 
{TypeWatching is a registered trademark of OKA. It is a term used to describe the process of looking at the world through the lens of psychological type. TypeWatching is a life-long process of learning about your type, how it affects your life, how it influences your perceptions of the world and the decisions you make, how you live your life, and what energizes you.}
.OKAMethod
{A training method which has been developed over 20 years by OKA which can be characterized as highly experiential.  Included in the TypeWatching Toolkit is the wisdom, methods, and materials that have helped make this approach so successful.}
.WordPairs
{The choices in Part II of Forms M and G consisting of two single words.  When word pairs are scored separately from the overall (word pairs and phrases), it is possible for an individual's word pair preference on a particular dichotomy to be different from that which was obtained by scoring the overall responses.  When this occurs, it is referred to as an "inconsistency."  This is noted as follows: E˘15(5).  The inconsistency sign follows the preference letter, followed by the preference strength for that preference, and finally, in parentheses, the preference strength for the opposite preference based on the word pairs alone. If this inconsistency data is entered into the Toolkit data entry section, it will appear on participant rosters.}
.WorkDesign
{In the Toolkit we provide several workshop designs.  They are overall structures that help the trainer conduct workshops.  Each workshop design contains a sequence of events, information on how to prepare and manage the workshop, and specific exercises that can be included.}
