It is important for practitioners to know about the distribution of the sixteen psychological types in the country in which they operate. For instance: Are more females with Feeling preferences found in particular occupational categories? Can you make valid distinctions on the basis of the types found in sales workers compared with other categories? What are the differences in the Australian distribution of psychological types compared with the UK and USA? Participants in this workshop will be encouraged to make connections between their own experience of the diversity of types and a recently developed Australian Census Population Type Table which for the first time approaches a national probability sample. We will explore the patterns of type distribution in Australia, and compare the data with national population Type Tables developed in the UK and the USA.
