THE MBTI ASSESSMENT (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand) by Myers Briggs

Note: This is a paid MBTI Test. This MBTI Test can be performed online. The cost of the MBTI test is indicated below. Read on.

The MBTI assessment, widely used for corporate team building workshops or team development, is more than just a test or evaluation. It’s a process of helping you understand yourself and becoming better.  In fact, there are no correct or incorrect answers, and hence technically MBTI Assessment is not an ‘assessment’ nor test.   Therefore, at 36 HR Training and Consultancy, we don’t say, “Here are the results, best wishes.” Instead, we work with you to discuss the results, and make them more relevant to your reality.  

Perhaps the most popular and well-known, reigns supreme among all others: the MBTI. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or “MBTI,” is a nearly 100-year-old questionnaire that has become a standard among all personality and profiling “tests”.

What you should know about the MBTI, what research and personality experts think about the test, and how you can work with your results are all covered here.

Find Out Which Type You Are with the MBTI Assessment

In a nutshell: MBTI embraces insights on your perspectives, sources of energy, decision-making style, communication style, strengths, weaknesses…

These are all aspects of your personality: who you are. And when you truly know yourself, doors open in your job, relationships, and life. With MBTI insights, you not only better understand and appreciate yourself, but you also better understand and appreciate others, and this helps in fostering deeper engagement in teams.

Why MBTI Team Development Workshop?

One reason for the wide popularity of the MBTI assessment is due to its extensive practical applications, which include:

  • Personal Effectiveness – insights into self is a powerful way to nurture strengths and work on blindspots, and developing behaviours that work for the individuals.
  • Team building and development— it’s a useful tool to identify team strengths and blindspots, facilitate communication between team members, and developing action plans for enhanced performance.
  • Leadership development – increases leaders’ understanding of their own type and the personality types of those they are leading in order to help them manage more effectively, provide more relevant feedback, and enhance individual and team performance.
  • Conflict management – improves skills in detecting conflict sources and intervening early to reduce underperformance, disruption, and disengagement.
  • Stress management – improves resiliency, increases productivity, and provides tools for identifying and coping with stress triggers.
  • However, do not organise any MBTI training for the wrong reasons! You can read more here : Do Not Attend Any MBTI Team Building Workshops until You Have Read This.

Impactful Presentation Skills Training – Real Life Case Studies

Welcome To Our Impactful Presentation Skills Training (Singapore and Malaysia) – Real Life Case Studies Series

Presentation Skills Training Singapore Workshop

1.  Impactful Presentation Skills Training (Malaysia) Case Study – A Musician

Milton is articulate, suave and smooth as a presenter – reason : He’s a trained musician who performs regularly on stage and hence knows how to command attention.  What surprises him is that his audience often couldn’t relate to him – during the July 2015 Impactful Presentations Skills Workshop in Singapore, this is what we discovered when Milton delivered his 3 minute presentation :

  • Milton spoke passionately about Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, Miley Cyrus, Beyonce and how new music trends are like.  The audience could feel his passion but not a single one understood him.  The challenge Milton didn’t realise :  The audience happened to be in their forties, whilst Milton, a 20-something trained musician, was using a language that never in his mind that others could not understand.

  • When I coached Milton one to one on his presentation skills, I suggested that he could consider using terms like Taylor Swift is the Celine Dion of 90s, whilst Beyonce is like the Toni Braxton of the 90s.  Milton’s biggest takeaway from the Impactful Presentation Skills Training Workshop is realising that what’s very obvious to him is not obvious to his audience, and when presenting or public speaking, he needs to tailor his language and communication style to suit the audience.

 

2. Impactful Presentation Skills Training Case Study – A Renovations Company

The directors and staff of a Singapore based renovations company attended the in house customised Impactful Presentations Skills Workshop in Aug 2015.  Their problem was how to differentiate themselves from their competitors as they had to present during tenders.  Some of the key issues I uncovered for them include :

Presentations Skills Training in Singapore

  • Presentation Slides :  designed and created by the company’s secretary and not any of the speakers.  The slides had over 5 types of fonts of varying sizes and shapes, and some of the fonts are similar to story books of children.  The slides had different looks and feel throughout.  I advised them to standardize the corporate look and to adopt their corporate (eg logo) colours. I also advised them to use at most 2 types of font, and to adopt fonts that are more commonly used by corporations eg Arial, Tahoma
  • Contents : They had endless number of points on multiple slides,  which I consider ‘motherhood’ statements – anything that anyone could have dug out from google research, such as “we are very professional, we are trustworthy”….  They was no meaning, nor underlying story to support any of these statements. Anyone could have said those statements and they don’t add any value to the audience.   I advised them to carefully contemplate what really made their clients choose to work with them, and why they are successful,  and to limit these to about 3-5 points, with supporting evidence and short stories of clients’ work and successes. In short, study and carefully craft out their unique selling proposition with short stories or evidence.

They worked hard at it, and they came back 2 weeks later with another group in house presentation skills training (in Singapore)  – their story and their selling proposition was significantly strengthened, and we could then focus on their delivery styles. Their journey to learning how to deliver will be featured in another post in this website.

3. Train The Trainers – Impactful Presentation Skills Training Case Study on Training Company

In 2015, this education company organised an in house  Effective Presentation Skills Training Workshop for their training staff – they create materials and train teachers and educators.  Most of them are  articulate and confident.

Their challenge was how to make it interesting for their audience who are teachers, who are used to taking the lead in public speaking in classes.  The advice I shared with these trainers of teachers was :

  • Not to just focus on their training materials and contents.  Instead focus on their audience problems and find an angle, through their materials,  to solve these problems.  Only then would the audience be interested.  We brainstormed on the problems of these trainers’ audience, who are teachers – and the results were really interesting.  For eg, some listed  ‘children’ as key issues, whilst others listed ‘parents’ of the teachers as being the source of challenge for teachers.  So we discussed ways to resolve common issues relating to parents.  That 10-minute segment got my trainers (participants) so excited – it was a good illustration of how as a speaker, I solved their (these trainers’ problem) and gained their respect and attention.  The trainers discovered how they (trainers) could likewise use the same technique to arouse interest in their audience (teachers).
