Portland Chapter of the Association for Psychological Type

Our organization is for anyone interested in learning more about personality type for professional or personal applications. In other words, we learn about the patterns of human behavior so we can understand ourselves and others better.

We typically meet on the 2nd Saturday morning of September, November, January, March and May from 9 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. We have an all-day workshop once a year. And, we have other gatherings when Type experts come to town or just to get together. We’re a community of welcoming folks. It doesn't matter how little or how much you know about type, come to a meeting and learn something new.

Next Meeting: Saturday March 10, 2012, 9 a.m - 11:30 a.m.**

Life Should be Easy: Organize Your Home and Life According to your Personality Type

Join us as we explore a new way to apply type, as we learn what is easy and hard about organizing for different personality types. What is easy for one type is hard for another, and organizational systems can be built to work with your type, not against it. Whether it is your life, your home, your office or that of a friend or client, there are type-based techniques that work.

Presenter Annie Battee will share the proven work that Kelly and Katie McMenamin have used with countless clients. Annie attended the workshop presented by Kelly and Katie at the APT International Conference last August. They say "We spent so many long years trying to conform to one-size-fits-all organizing techniques, and one of us was somewhat organized while the other still had tall piles of chaos around her. Once we realized that our knowledge of personality theory could be used to systemize solutions for different personality types, our company PixiesDidIt was born and life became easier."

New Workshop: Saturday February 4, 2012 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
