Diving Deeper into Preferences: Control / Movement, Pragmatic / Affiliative, & Systematic / Interest

In this episode of the Type Tools Podcast, host Jacie and expert Scott continue their exploration of personality preferences, focusing on the more complex preferences. They discuss control versus movement, pragmatic versus affiliative, and systematic versus interest, providing insights on how these preferences influence behavior and decision-making. Using various examples, they explain how different personality types manifest these traits in real-life scenarios. Listeners are encouraged to use an accompanying handout to follow along.
