Where the “Eh” Did That Come From? Exploring the Interaction of
Canadian Culture and Type

- Identify some of the co-cultures in Canada
- Use a tool to help us delve into those cultures
- Explore what the preferred types in these cultures might be
- Look at your own personal developmental influences and how they have impacted your expression of type
