Applied Psychology Meetup NYC

This event is FREE

Ever wondered what those four mysterious letters—like INFP or ESTJ—really mean? Or why two people with the same type can seem totally different? Join us for an interactive and beginner-friendly dive into the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the cognitive functions that bring it to life.
In this session, we’ll break down the basics of the MBTI letter codes and go beyond the surface to explore the why behind personality patterns through the lens of cognitive functions. Expect real-world examples, engaging group discussions, and practical insights you can take into your daily life.

What to Expect:
🧠 Learn what your MBTI type really represents
✨ Discover the 8 cognitive functions that drive how we think, feel, and see the world
💬 Share your reflections and explore how personality shows up in everyday quirks and choices
🤝 Connect with others who are curious about what makes us tick

When: 3:00 – 5:00 PM

Where: Brookfield Place
Optional: Stick around after the session to learn about our deeper-dive follow-up series!

Exploring Identity, Values & the Power of Inner Growth
How much of what we believe is truly ours—and how much was handed down through culture, tradition, or expectation?
In this unique MBTI-focused meetup, we’ll explore the intersection of personality and belief: how our MBTI types and cognitive functions influence the way we absorb, question, or resist cultural messages. Through guided prompts, small group sharing, and meaningful conversation, we’ll dive into what it means to shape a personal belief system in a world full of outside influence.

What We’ll Cover:
🧠 A brief overview of MBTI types and the deeper layer of cognitive functions
🌱 The difference between cultural beliefs and personal beliefs and how they form
💬 Reflective prompts tailored for different types (e.g., N types, Introverts)
💡 Conversations around passion vs practicality, dating vs tradition, and emotional expression
📝 A closing reflection to name one belief you’ve redefined and one you’ve chosen for yourself

This session is for you if you:

• Are curious about how personality influences belief systems
• Want a safe space to reflect on your upbringing vs your evolving values
• Enjoy deep conversation and thoughtful self-discovery
• Are open to hearing diverse experiences and sharing your own

When: June 28, 2025 | 3:00 – 5:00 PM
Where: Brookfield Place

Bring: A journal or notes app, and your open mind

Closing Note:
We’re here to explore, not to have all the answers. Come as you are, and leave with a deeper understanding of the beliefs that shape you, the ones you've outgrown, and the ones you're building for yourself.
