Type practitioners are experts at understanding different types but may not realize how well they can read people at a glance.

Focusing on facial expressions, gestures, and speech patterns—not just the content of speech—enables almost uncanny predictions.

In a presentation she normally reserves for her mentorship program, Carol will share videos of young people who are still exploring their personalities and film clips that exaggerate the functions.

This presentation will have participants laughing at themselves and their type tribes, as they spot the clues to type with the aid of proprietary material unavailable elsewhere. 

Learning objectives:

Distinguish the eight functions from each other

Recognize which function is in use via speech and gesture

Pinpoint the body language “tells” of type

Carol Shumate, PhD, is adjunct faculty at Pacifica Graduate Institute and lectures on typology to psychotherapists, analysts, and analysts-in-training. She taught Pacifica's course on "Psychological Types" for ten years, using film and video to help students assess their own types, and she edits the journal Personality Type in Depth. Her book Projection and Personality Development via the Eight-Function Model (Routledge 2021) has been called "a tour de force," "brilliant," "stunning," "an instant classic," and "a roadmap for growth and individuation." She is currently at work on a new book on the trickster. She has ENFP preferences.
