Build Team Chemistry
Using MBTI
Questions we will answer today!
What is MBTI and how does it help build chemistry?
What is my best-fit “type”? What are some specific examples of
how using MBTI contributes directly to better relationships and better results?
Where do I look to learn more?
Many concepts, diagrams, and pictures were taken from the MBTI Presenting Types in Organizations, developed by David Freeman, Linda Kirby, and Nancy Barger
MBTI Quick Facts A 93 question assessment used to determine innate
preferences and assign a 4-letter personality type (i.e. INTJ, ESFP, ENTP, ISFJ, etc.)
Used by most Fortune 100 companies Over 2 Million administrations per year- translated into 30
languages, used in 70+ countries across industry Based on Swiss psychologist Carl Jung’s (1875-1961) type
theory and shaped by Katherine Briggs and Isabell Briggs Myers until 1980, refined and tested since then
Most widely used reliable and valid tool for understanding personality differences
Does not predict behavior for any individual, but does accurately predict behavior for groups (note: that each team has a group profile!)
MBTI Objectives-Creating Team Chemistry-
Enhance self-understanding for coaches and players Natural strengths and blind spots Potential areas for growth Motivations and communication patterns Distress signals and how stress affects you
Understand and appreciate (rather than just tolerate) diversity
Reduce tension & judgment, increase empathy and effective communication among team members and coaches
Embrace, utilize, and leverage different preferences to complete tasks, achieve goals, and confront adversity
Increase range and scope of communication MBTI creates a framework and language for continued
development in a team context and life long personal context
What do you mean by preference?
Write your name using your dominant hand:
_______________________________
Write your name using your NON-dominant hand:
________________________________
We can all use both hands for writing, but one is natural,
comfortable, automatic

MBTI Preferences – 4 Dichotomies
Where you direct your energy• Extraversion vs Introversion
How you gather information• Sensing vs iNtuition
How you make decisions• Thinking vs Feeling
How you deal with the outside world
• Judging vs Perceiving
Preferences are not measured on a spectrum – either you prefer this or you prefer that
Preferences do not change – they staythe same over our lifetime.
What changes is how we use them, and the accuracy with which we can recognize and measure the clarity of our own preferences.

What is Your Type?
What is Your Team’s Type?
What are your preferences? How do we see them play out in team chemistry issues?
What kind of communication do you expect during learning/in the game/in a team meeting?
How much detail and process goes into goal setting vs how much vision and big picture?
What constitutes fairness? Equal treatment or are there situational considerations? What if somebody arrives to practice late?
Is every minute of practice scheduled and posted in advance or do you play it by ear?
When you are in a situation that requires you to act out of preference for a long time, STRESS WILL RESULT
Columbia Volleyball What MBTI informs in our program… What our players have to say…
Accountability group assignments
Matching mentors to freshmen Individual player meetings and
one-one communication Maximum player engagement
in team meetings Locker room talk expectations
and understanding Court “energy” expectations Individual and team motivation Conflict management
Gives me confidence to give feedback and have more open communication. I know who I can be straightforward with and who to be gentle with (ENTJ)
Helps me connect with my teammates to make things better on the court by understanding how people might perceive the same thing differently (INFJ)
Helps with communication issues (ESTP)
Helps me understand the best way to approach, communicate, and motivate my teammates – we need to know what makes people open to discussion and what makes them closed off and defensive (ENTP and captain)
MBTI Objectives Questions we ask ourselves at Columbia
Enhance self-understanding and acceptance How can I be the most productive, positive person? How can I derive the
most pleasure from this experience? What motivates each player: relationships, understanding, physical activity? Do our players understand what triggers their own stress points and those of
their teammates? Can they manage those triggers? Understand and appreciate diversity
How do we discover the source of and manage intrapersonal conflict? Do our rules, goals, and team communications address the needs of all
types? Increase range and scope of communication
Do our players have the skill and confidence to communicate with potential employers about their strengths and weaknesses? Do they feel better about recognizing what helps/hinders quality relationships? Do they have tools to problem solve and adapt to different types? Will they consider careers that play to their preferences?
• Knowing that there are collateral, long-term benefits to using MBTI on our team helps keep our players engaged and invested in learning and applying MBTI.
What about you, coach?
Understanding your own type, as well as the “TYPE” of job you do, and the types of people around you can help you tailor your world to create a better fit for you, and a different perspective about what doesn’t fit very well… it can help you keep your PASSION and ENTHUSIASM for the job you do.
What types of workshops can you do with MBTI and
your team? Team Building Conflict Management Communication Style Stress Management Career Development Type and Change Type and Organizations Innovation Functions and
Temperaments
Decision Making Style Leadership Style Type Dynamics and
Development Emotional Intelligence Types and Teams Types and Selling Types and Coaching Project Management

MBTI exercises to try with your team
What are some of the observable behavioral differences
you notice between Extraverts and Introverts?Write/Discuss responses
Extraverts are more talkative, energetic, and overtly enthusiastic about the task.
Introverts are more reflective, may not show their enthusiasm outwardly.
Extraverts answer questions immediately. Introverts are quiet when first asked a question. Extraverts interrupt one another. Introverts wait to see who will answer. Extraverts may sit closer to each other. Introverts may keep more physical distance.
E/I Splitting Question:
To determine who may be an S and who may be an N, have your team look at the following slide (or any abstract picture) for 1 ½ minutes silently and either have them write down what they see, or be prepared to share with the group what they think they’ve been looking at.
S/N Exercise
29
Describe what they literally see:◦ Physical attributes of the picture
(color, shapes, artist’s name, size)
Then try to make sense out of the shapes—object sense
Others can usually agree with the interpretations of the shapes
People who prefer sensing:
Interpret the picture, seeing possibilities and meanings that are highly personalized
Often make up a story about the picture May come up with a big-picture
interpretation of the meaning
People who prefer Intuition:
We must remember that we all trust our own perceptions, while knowing that there are many other ways of seeing the same object/situation.
What are the implications and applications of this exercise?
Imagine that you have been invited to a party with your partner or a close friend.
Your partner/friend arrives, ready for the party. You look at what the person is wearing and say to yourself, “Oh no! Is he/she really going to wear that?”
What do you do and say in this situation? Discuss in your groups.
T/F Splitting:
Thinking types concentrate on achieving their desired outcome—the partner/friend changes clothes or they don’t go.
Feeling types often say they don’t care what the person is wearing.
Thinking types are frank and to-the-point in stating their views about the clothing.
Feeling types are often concerned about embarrassing the person, take a tactful, indirect approach.
What will come up in discussion:
Assuming that you are all friends, plan a social picnic for your group. Break into
groups and discuss.
Judging types plan everything to the nth degree, liking to cover every contingency.
Perceiving types leave things open, desiring flexibility.
J/P Splitting:
