What we’re about
CELEBRATING 10 YEARS IN 2025!
This is a group for everybody who would like to understand more about themselves and those they live or work with - through sharing with others.
Maybe you would like to know why your kids always clash, or why your partner is so sensitive... or not sensitive enough. Maybe you would like to know why you or somebody you love never seem to fit in. Maybe you want to know why you have chosen a certain profession. Maybe you just want to share what you know about personality types or learn what others know.
The cartoon on this page represents two people reaching out to each other over an invisible wall. This invisible wall symbolizes the communication problems, clashes and misunderstandings that result from our inborn natural type differences. Our group aims to help people reach out through understanding the different personality types.
The key is that once we understand that we are not all alike, we can open our minds to sharing rather than judging each other and learn to celebrate our differences. The main focus of this group is on understanding the 16 psychological types first described by Carl Jung and made popular by Myers-Briggs and David Keirsey, but with some adjustments that bring it from just descriptive accounts of our differences in which you know your "typename" to a deeper understanding of what goes on inside us that makes us so different in one way and so alike in another.

See all- 'What would you do...?' discussionsThistle Hall, Wellington
What would you do if you found a wallet with $1000 in it? What if your brother or sister was accused of murder? What if they did it? How would you react if everyone had to wear a particular uniform? When a stranger is crying on the bus, do you offer comfort or keep your distance?
Always thought-provoking, always interesting, join us to discuss a range of ethical scenarios and to explore the differences that stem from our different psychological types.
This session has long been one of our most popular and we're thrilled to do it again as we celebrate some of our 'greatest hits' in the group's 10th anniversary year.
All welcome. Come and share with others (we typically break into small groups for discussion).
VENUE + KOHA
We ask for a koha, or donation, to help cover the venue costs.We're in the downstairs meeting room at Thistle Hall. Enter at the side of the building on SH1/Arthur Street (around the corner from Thistle Hall’s gallery space on Cuba St) and once inside, go straight ahead then head right along the passage by the toilets. The meeting room is at the end of that short passage (and up one step).
FINDING OUT YOUR TYPE
