Real Learning


MBTI Workshop
What type are you? IMD partners came together on February 15 with Jack and Ann Woods to score and discuss the results of their Myers-Briggs personality tests. The Myers-Brigg type indicator is a long used and respected system for understanding a person's particular personality type and temperament. Ann expertly guided us through this complex test by breaking it into simple and easy to understand categories. The results of our tests gave us much insight into why we behave the way we do, heightened our self-awareness and our understanding of others.


Cooking Classes
The IMD partners and children gathered at Taeko Yasuda’s apartment this past Tuesday for another successful cooking class session. This week, attendees enjoyed making and eating chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies. At the request of several partners, Christen Cheek (partner of Brad Peterson) volunteered to share her cookie baking secrets. Partners left the lesson with full bellies, sugar highs, and the recipes needed for their own adventures in the kitchen.■ Christen Cheek (USA)
