MBTI Transitions

[Chris_Matts]

Hi All

At the end of Gifts Differing, there is a chapter on how people's MBTI might flip under stress. ( Not sure if my interpretation is correct ).

Does anyone know of any research that shows how peoples preferences change under stress? Is there a "normal" transition path for a particular type. e.g. An introvert becomes an extrovert before the person moves from sensing to judging. Can this transition be used to look out for people suffering from stress?

Regards

I don't know of any such studies regarding MBTI, but I know of one that looks at "Patterns of Styles in Conflict Management and Effectiveness," by Munduate, Ganaza, Peiro, and Euwema in _The International Journal of Conflict Management_, 1999, vol. 10, No. 1 (January), pp. 5-24.

Chris,

I can refer you to two sources:

In the Grip: Understanding Type, Stress and the Inferior Function, 2nd Ed. by Naomi Quenk, published by Consulting Psychologists Press, 2000.


Quenk, Naomi, Was That Really Me?: How Everyday Stress Brings Out Our Hidden Personality (Update of Beside Ourselves), Palo Alton, CA: Davies-Black Publishing, 2002, ISBN 0-89106-170-3, 349 pp


If you have the time for reading, I recommend the second book, a more thorough exploration of the impact of stress on individuals of different types. In the Grip can then serve as a good summary.
