Was hoping once the course ended to explain to me how the different letters played along in order to form a personality, and explain that about me and others.

This Course provides a brief and precise explanation about the Myers-Briggs Personality Types. I understood the basics and was able to accurately discover my own personality type as well as those of many others. This course however does not provide information about the 8 cognitive functions that are also a key to understanding each personality type but nevertheless it's a good course for beginners who just want to know the basics. My thanks to the instructor Neil Ihde for bringing us this insightful course.

This course is great! The explanations of the different aspects and also the frame of mind in which to do Myers Briggs made me realise I had myself typed wrong (INFP not INFJ) which, to me, was mindblowing.

The course gives a basic and good understanding for Myers-Briggs. I wish he included the test for us to do it.

The course went very in depth about the Myers-Briggs results, but I did not enjoy just a basic power point presentation. The course could be improved by engaging the audience with actual viewing the speaker.

It’s the first time I heard about MBTI and I really like the course. It gives a great overview, then goes into details, is very informative, well-structured and the facilitator seems easy going yet professional. Very funny example of an interaction between an extravert and an introvert on a plane :) (section 1, lecture 3). Thank you very much!

the course is a good place to start with the MBTI. It does not go into great detail, but plenty of detail to cover the basics.

I took free personality tests on a few sites to get to know myself better. My objective in taking this course is hoping to have some questions answered and to learn more about Myers-Briggs. I find it most useful when Neil gives examples using toothpaste and signature about our innate preference. This helps me to understand aspects of me that was trained and aspects of me that is of my natural preference. The way this webinar was organised on how each dichotomy affect our lives is very useful. I noticed there isn't many Q & A and was hoping to have some discussion. Thank you.

I like the personal examples (toothpaste) and the detail that the instructor uses - it's helpful to reiterate that people with the exact same 4 letters / type can be completely different in nature.

Good basic background - best to have completed a recent MB evaluation...prior to taking this, but adds enlightenment.

I would rate it interesting, and I hope I can find another webinar to build on this one. I did have a problem at the end with Module 7 being a repeat of the entire presentation. Why? I had get in and out of the course to try to figure out what was going on, etc., and then I added up all the times for each module to see if it added up to Module 7 (it was pretty close) so I fast forward Module 7 in order to get to where I am at now, giving an opinion of the course. OY, this really messed things up at the end and negatively impacted this rating.
