took less than six months before I began to see the patterns. At first, I had no idea what I stumbled upon, its significance, and how it would change my teaching. Furthermore, it would solidify in my mind the scientific nature of personality type.


I noticed that groups of students often were using identical groups of terminology beyond that of the checklist and standard callouts. The way they spoke in normal conversations, when problem-solving, and at work and play had a pattern! At first I didn’t link this to personality type, though I did label the students’ type in each class


and began the process of categorizing their behavior and language. Next, I began experimenting with vocabulary to test reactions. It was uncanny how certain types responded to particular phrases and words, and it was at this point that I began developing and fine-tuning instruction and delivery methods for each of the 16 classified personality types.


The human brain functions in a predictable pattern as it makes perceptions and then acts upon them. We do this thousands of times each day with little notice that we are using specific functions, or preferences,


of the brain. The late founder of analytical psychology, Carl Jung, and other experts have concluded that only 16 cognitive patterns are found in the entire human race. If a flight instructor learns the student’s preferred pattern, it is possible to predict the outcome of a maneuver long before it reaches a critical state. Better yet, the instructor can start speaking the correct “language” to provide superior instruction, reduce training time, and nearly eliminate the possibility of an accident.
