Communication

Level 2 presents personality profiles as a frame for presentations. As suggested in Level 2, framing presentations with personality profiles

· fosters communication on a deeper level,

· establishes a connection with audience members’ dominant personality trait, and

· helps understand how audience members make decisions.

While reflecting on the material offered in the EI Games: Presentation Skills Course and developing your paper, consider prior learning and prior work experience, in addition to the material presented. Disagreeing with the principles presented in Level 2 is appropriate. However, do not reject the offered principles out of hand. Support acceptance or rejection of the offered principles with critical thinking and sound reasoning. To complete this assignment, you will need to select one of the approaches offered in one of the above videos to refer to in the below bullet points.

In your paper,

· Compare and contrast the personality profiles offered in the EI Games Level 2 with the profiles developed for the Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI).

· Identify three significant differences.

· Discuss which approach you are most comfortable with and what gives you confidence in the approach you prefer.
