Communication for Couples

Lighthouse Counseling uses the Myers-Briggs Temperament Profile to help couples improve their communication.  Temperament theory suggest that we are born with intrinsic communication styles and preferences that over time become habits and are reinforced by our personal experiences in life.  Questions like "Why does my spouse not like spending time with other couples?'"  and "How is it that my spouse doesn't understand my perspective?" can be answered by this simple test.   The Myers-Briggs temperament test can help couples:

bulletUnderstand each others temperaments
bulletUse the knowledge of temperaments to better make joint decisions for family and life
bulletHelp you understand how your own temperament effects the quality of your relationship
bulletFacilitate better communication with your children

 

Myers-Briggs Temperament Profiles

The most widely used personality inventory in the world, the MBTI® instrument provides an accurate picture of a person’s personality type. The MBTI® instrument determines preferences on four dichotomies. 

bullet

Extraversion—Introversion: describes where people prefer to focus their attention and get their energy—from the outer world of people and activity or their inner world of ideas and experiences

bullet

Sensing—Intuition: describes how people prefer to take in information—focused on what is real and actual or on patterns and meanings in data

bullet

Thinking—Feeling: describes how people prefer to make decisions—based on logical analysis or guided by concern for their impact on others

bullet

Judging—Perceiving: describes how people prefer to deal with the outer world—in a planned orderly way, or in a flexible spontaneous way
