We’v recently been running a survey on Type and Stereotype in the Training Room.

Howard included the results in his presentation at the Learning Technologies Conference on the 1st February.

“I made the possibly contentious comment that those with a temperament most likely to be attracted to teaching or training are most likely to set up classroom situations and activities that are not conducive to the learning of those of different temperaments.

I was asked what we should do differently as a result of this research. My reply:
1) ensure classroom trainers understand their own type and how to help those of different types (work being undertaken by e-coaches)
2) ensure learning designers create material that offers options within the framework of the MBTI (as documented in Individual Preferences in E-learning).”

You can download the presentation slides and narrative here:

We’ll keep you informed as our research continues.
