In this intermediate level lesson, the students will explore personality types with a focus on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). They will reflect on their own personalities, compare cultural approaches to understanding personality, and discuss whether personality is fixed or changeable. By the end of the lesson, students should be able to express nuanced opinions about personality tests and evaluate how tools like MBTI can influence relationships, teamwork, and management in the workplace.
