The Shadows of Type
Psychological Type Through Seven Levels of Development
by Angelina Bennet
Personality Type instruments like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) are incredibly useful in helping people to improve their awareness of themselves and others.
However current models do not explain how well somebody uses their Type, why two people of the same Type can differ greatly in their effectiveness, or how we can maximise the potential of our Type.
The ‘Shadows of Type’ model provides the answers to these questions by placing psychological type back into its original Jungian context, ‘upgrading’ this to set it within the psychosynthesis model, and then combining it with ego development theory.
This leads to detailed descriptions of the 16 psychological types through seven levels of ego development.
By following the suggested coaching techniques and applications, individuals can gain more insight into how they are using their Type and the traps that they can fall into.
Coaches are enabled to work with psychological type developmentally, transformationally and transpersonal.
