Getting Healthy the MBTI Way

This course takes a look at how the different individual personality types within MBTI approach getting healthy through weight loss and diet, exercising, leisure time and hobbies. Each personality type has preferences that are unique to them including the eight preferences of:

· Extraversion

· Introversion

· Sensing

· Intuition

· Feeling

· Thinking

· Judging

· Perceiving

Each preference effects an individual's approach to a healthy lifestyle. Knowing these preferences will aid in wading through the mire of information to choose a best practice.

In the first section, we’ll investigate and dive into an overall understanding of MBTI including the history. We’ll learn about Myers and Briggs and how the MBTI theory was based off of the works of Carl Jung and proven through valid and reliable means to its validity. We’ll also look at the varying aspects of personality type such as the preferences, functions and a hierarchy of functions.

Then, we’ll look at how each personality type has a different preference for exercise as well as which dieting practices are best suited to each type. Lastly, we’ll look at how each type spends their leisure time and the hobbies they enjoy. This is particularly important for the overarching health of every individual – balancing healthy living and enjoying life through leisure.
