Values Clarification Exercise
In this exercise the team is challenged to chose the final survivors of the human race based on a very brief description of 16 candidates. They must prioritize the following people from Most Important To Survive to Not As Important To Survive. After the exercise, and after the participants have received the results of their Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the final page can be revealed showing the type that is related to each person that was a candidate for survival. After the initial activity ask, "How and why did the team chose those particular survivors?" After they receive their MBTI results ask, "Did people end up championing their own type?"
The 16 Candidates:
· "Pedagogue". Outstanding leader of groups. Can be aggressive at helping others to be the best that they can be.
· "Author". Strong drive and enjoyment to help others. Complex personality.
· "Journalist". Uncanny sense of the motivations of others. Life is an exciting drama.
· "Questor". High capacity for caring. Calm and pleasant face to the world. High sense of honor derived from internal values.
· "Field Marshall". The basic driving force and need is to lead. Tend to seek a position of responsibility and enjoys being an executive.
