The goal of this method is to help individuals understand their personality types, recognize the strengths and weaknesses associated with different personalities, and learn how to effectively collaborate with diverse personality types in group settings.

The “My Personality” method is based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), which categorizes individuals into 16 different personality types. Participants will take the 16 Personalities test, learn about their own and others' personality types, and engage in activities that demonstrate how different personalities interact and work together.
