It has been more than 100 years since Freud's seminal work and since Jung first began teasing out the puzzle of psychological types – a century filled with psychological exploration and conversation. What difference has all of this activity made for us as individuals and as a society? We have heard Jung's eight functions described as "types of consciousness," but what, exactly, is consciousness and how does it relate to type? If we manage to wrest more "type development" for ourselves, does it mean that we really have greater awareness? What does the MBTI® tell us about our consciousness? In this unflinching, wide-ranging presentation, Peter Geyer will help us delve deep into some of our unexamined assumptions about type and human development.
In the afternoon, Peter will continue with a relaxed, insightful conversation about type. Inspired by quotes from Jung, Isabel Myers, and other provocative thinkers, this workshop will be a lively, challenging dialogue on type, personality, and society – the direction and outcome of which is not foreordained.
Peter Geyer (INTP) is one of the most probing, wide-ranging thinkers in the type community today. His interest lies in viewing type through these various perspectives: biological, cultural, historical, neurological and psychological. Peter’s work ranges from an introductory level to the most advanced – for individuals and groups that want to know something about themselves, understand how to work together, and apply it to various contexts. He has accredited people in the MBTI® for 13 years, provided MBTI® Step II TM courses for 9 years, and has developed and taught his own instrument. For 20 years – mostly in Australia and the U.S. – Peter has presented on his work and ideas at professional conferences and meetings. Additionally, he has taught organizational subjects and personality theory at various universities. You can get a glimpse of Peter's groundbreaking work by visiting his website at www.petergeyer.com.au.
