Recently, I was asked to administer the MBTI to a small team and to facilitate the feedback/team session virtually. Since virtual teams are becoming much more of a reality in the corporate world and travel budgets are getting strained, what are your thoughts about conducting virtual MBTI sessions?

Virtual sessions are becoming more and more a business reality we need to cope with, as well as a benefit in many ways. There are quite a few folks I’ve hooked into engaging with type who would not have come to the tool if the cost of forced engagement of a traditional class had been the only option. Here are some ideas to keep in mind when putting your virtual introduction together. Remember that the goal of this training is the same as any introduction. You are trying to give the participants as much clarifying data as possible for them to be able to self-assess their type preferences and then validate their MBTI results once returned to them. All these steps are to lead to some action that will put the insights to work. These goals do not change in virtual training. This means that whatever script and structure you have for traditional training, you can keep for this virtual process. Word lists, stories, examples, questions/answers, they can all work over the phone, or through onlin
