A Comprehensive Guide to Personality Types at Work

Personality types are based on the research of renowned psychologist Carl Jung and were further developed into the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Today, MBTI is one of the most popular and respected personality tools in the world.

Personality types help people understand why differences arise both at home and in the workplace. This framework is easy to grasp and apply, making it a powerful tool for building stronger relationships and effective teams.

This short, standalone course is designed for anyone interested in learning about different personality types. It offers valuable insights into your personal preferences and how they shape your overall personality type.

As part of the course, you’ll complete a questionnaire designed to help you identify your preferences. This will provide useful insights into your personality type. As you work through the lessons, you’ll assess how clearly you identify with each preference, helping you deepen your understanding of your type.

You’ll explore the dynamics, development, and unique characteristics of your personality type—and how it relates to others. The course also demonstrates how understanding psychological types and personality preferences can be applied by individuals and teams in real-life settings.

By learning how preferences are expressed, you’ll be better able to appreciate differences, collaborate effectively, and communicate more clearly with others.

The course introduces you to Jungian Theory, exploring:

• How you prefer to get your energy (Extraversion/Introversion)
• How you take in information (Sensing/Intuition)
• How you process information (Thinking/Feeling)
• How you approach life (Judging/Perception), a dimension later added by Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers

You’ll gain awareness of the natural dynamics and patterns in how people see, think, feel, and respond to the world. Every personality type has its own communication style. Through this course, you’ll build a deeper understanding of both personality and communication—helping you strengthen relationships with your team, manager, clients, and others you interact with regularly.

You’ll also learn how to:

• Build trust and establish rapport
• Work productively and comfortably with different personality types

This course offers an in-depth look at human behavior and how different behavioral preferences interact in the workplace. It’s ideal for anyone interested in understanding personality differences and Jungian types—no prior knowledge is required.

If you’ve previously completed a personality type assessment and need a refresher, this course will help you reconnect with that knowledge. Whether you learned your type through a work-based program, a questionnaire, or personal interest, this course will help you remember what it all means and how it applies to real-life interactions.

It’s also a valuable resource for team leaders and managers looking to build understanding, strengthen relationships, and improve team performance. You’ll learn how to apply personality type knowledge in practical ways that support collaboration and growth.

Combining video lessons, practical activities, and quizzes, this course teaches you how to recognize and interpret behavioral responses based on personality type—preparing you for a wide range of workplace situations.
