Document Summary
Myers-briggs type indicator (mbti): the myers-briggs type indicator assessment is a psychometric questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. Perception a process by which individuals give meaning (reality) to their environment by organising and interpreting their sensory impressions: factors influencing perception: Perceiver"s personal characteristics (interests, biases and expectations) Situation (context) factors such as place, time, location draw attention or distract from the target: attribution theory. How the actions of individuals are perceived by others depends on what meaning (causation) we attribute to a given behaviour. At research finds that there are errors or biases that distort attributions. Consensus: behaviours similar to others in same situation. Judgmental/ perceptual shortcuts: assumed similarity- belief that others are like ourselves. Communication the transfer and understanding of meaning. Sometimes people define good communication as synonymous with agreement, but it is possible for message to be communicated and not agreed with.
