First Team Meetings

When my group met for the first time, we exchanged personality types. My four teammates were introverts and I am an extrovert; however, I also can see myself as an introvert at certain times. I was very interested to see how the five of us would interact. During the first out of class group meeting, most of my teammates greatly displayed their introvert qualities, as the meeting started off slowly, but as the meeting progressed, our entire team was contributing and very active in the conversation. I had expected us to divide up the work and work on separate sections alone, because I assumed my teammates would be most comfortable working like that, however, we did most of the work together as a team. I was happily surprised to find this out. While debriefing the MBTI, I remember learning that, while we may be more inclined to act on our personality type, we can still think and act the same way other personalities do, it is just like using your left hand if you are right handed. Perhaps my teammates found it difficult to actively participate in the first group meeting, maybe not, but either way, we all worked very well together and contributed our thoughts and ideas clearly, both agreeing and disagreeing on different subjects. I think our process of forming, and getting comfortable with each other, is going very well.
