Posted by Robert Bacal in MBTI - Learning Styles, Uncategorized on August 27, 2009
Don Clark wrote the following as part of a discussion about learning styles and training, and makes an excellent point about the many learning styles one could look at. My reply follows:

A Well Deserved Poke At Adult Learning Principles and Styles
Posted by Robert Bacal in Advice For Trainers, Learning Theory To Practice, MBTI - Learning Styles, Stupid Trainer Tricks, Thought Jolts, Training Wisdom or Training Foolishness on July 20, 2009
It is no secret that I believe adult learning principles and styles are essentially vague and useless in terms of instructing “adults” versus “non-adults” and that the work of many popular adult learning “experts” is terrible, and that includes Knowles. I’m not alone in that respect.
So I was browsing around and came across a well [...]
Problems with test administration training (DISC, MBTI)
Posted by Robert Bacal in MBTI - Learning Styles on June 14, 2008
The recent exchange with Gary Lear about reliability and validity really highlights one of the major problems with these instruments and their usage. THIS IS IN NO WAY MEANT TO COMMENT ON GARY, BUT ON THE GENERAL SITUATION.

The requirements to administer the MBTI are not nearly high enough to qualify anyone to use a psychometric test of any kind, even the MBTI, [...]

Generational Differences? Real or same old same old
Posted by Robert Bacal in Learning Theory To Practice, MBTI - Learning Styles on May 12, 2008
Trainers, and others often speak of there being significant generational differences that affect how people learn and interact. That’s the pop psych view but it may not be true at all.
Just for thought provocation, there are actually two different “schools” regarding generational differences. The most common one (e.g. popular one) is that different generations are [...]
NLP, Commercialization, Credibility, MBTI
Posted by Robert Bacal in Learning Theory To Practice, MBTI - Learning Styles on May 7, 2008
Robert initially writes this as a concern about the field of NLP:
If you are the type of person who looks at the “proof” about Scientology only on scientology sites, then great. The problem here is that the NLP machine is a “business enterprise”, and as such any research from NLP sources has to be examined [...]
