Professional Handout Review by Jack Falt
Berens, Linda V., Interaction Styles Basics, 2001-2004, four pages. Page One: descriptions of the four interaction styles (same as on the Report Form: Interaction Styles); Page Two and Three: The Interaction Styles Arrows - this presents the information about each interaction style in an arrow diagram format; and Page Four: Best-Fit Worksheet - participants write down the characteristics of each style that relate to themselves.
Berens, Linda V., Cracking the Code, 1999-2004, two pages. Page One: using a diagram, describes the Jung cognitive processes. A table below describes each of the eight cognitive processes. Page Two: Steps to Cracking the Code gives in detail how to determine the eight cognitive processes dynamics of each type.
Berens, Linda V., Cognitive Processes Basics, 1995-2004, four pages. Page One: description of the concept of cognitive processes, a chart listing the hierarchy of cognitive processes for each type, and a table defining each of the cognitive processes. Pages Two and Three: Jung’s Cognitive Processes - in table form gives a more extensive description of each of the eight cognitive processes. Page Four: using a stick figure diagram, identifies the four primary processes or roles, and gives a description of how each of these roles play in the individual’s life.
Berens, Linda V., Solving Communication Problems, 1996-2004, two pages. This handout would be excellent to use in a communication workshop. Page One: description of the concept of cognitive processes, a chart listing the hierarchy of cognitive processes for each type, and a table defining each of the cognitive processes (in more detail than the sheet above). Page Two: Entering the Communication Zone. A form to work through the six steps to understanding the communication zone. This can help you to understand why you might be having difficulties communicating with certain types and how you might improve your communications.
Most of these sheets are in the Understanding Yourself booklet series. These sheets would be useful when it is not practical for each participant to purchase a booklet, or they can be used as practice sheets. It is also helpful is leading a lengthy workshop just to hand out the sheet needed for a current exercise rather than have people browsing through the material when they should be paying attention to the presentation.
