## Event Focus
This session explores how we type people, not just what type they are.
We’ll examine:- Different typing frameworks (behavioral vs cognitive vs trait-based)
- How personal bias influences perception
- Where typing becomes unclear, inconsistent, or potentially harmful
This is a structured thinking space designed for respectful discussion, curiosity, and clarity.

PROCEDURAL CHANGE: Before noon on the day of this event, contact Conversations New York’s Meetup profile for the venue address.
***
### 3:00 PM — Arrival & Check-In

- Light conversation and settling in
***
### 3:10 PM — Opening Frame (Mike-INFJ)
- Overview of session focus
- Ground rules for structured discussion
- Aligning on purpose: understanding frameworks, not “winning” types
***
### 3:15 – 3:35 PM — Framework Alignment
Topic: How do we type people?
We’ll explore common approaches:- Behavioral (what we observe)
- Cognitive (functions / Beebe model)
- Trait-based (Big Five, Enneagram influence)
- Narrative/contextual (life experience, environment)
Prompt:
“Which approach do you use most and why do you trust it?”***
### 3:35 – 4:05 PM — Live Case Study
Structured Typing Exercise
- Silent reflection: choose a type + framework
- Round robin: share type and method (no debate yet)
- Group discussion: compare frameworks
Focus:
Challenge the method, not just the conclusion***
### 4:05 – 4:25 PM — Bias & Distortion
Topic: Where typing breaks down
We’ll explore:- Projection and personal bias
- Influence of liking/disliking someone
- Overlap with labels (e.g., ADHD, autism, personality disorders)
Prompt:
“When does typing become inaccurate or unfair?”***
### 4:25 – 4:50 PM — Boundaries in Typing
Topic: Ethical limits of personality analysis
Discussion points:- Typing public figures: insight or projection?
- Using clinical terms: useful or harmful?
- Typing others without consent
Goal:
Balance curiosity with responsibility***
### 4:50 PM — Closing Reflection (Mike-INFJ)
Key takeaway:
> “We don’t just disagree on people we often disagree on the systems we use to understand them.”
***
### 5:00 PM — Formal End
Typically, the group continues conversations afterward and may go out to dinner together.
Margarita (INFP), Mike (INFJ), and others may coordinate an informal after-meetup hang.***
# Prerequisite
