1. List all of the people in your project team (including yourself), and discuss their Meyers personality type & Kolb learning style. What is the best way to communicate with them?
What part of your ENGR project are they best suited to be in charge of?
2. Perry's Scheme - short essay (half a page).
Choose a subject that you currently have a very one sided view about, and see if you can broaden your perspective to be more understanding of the alternate side. (For or against global warming? For or against a political party? For or against a particular philosophy or religious ideology? For or against organic non-GMO foods? For or against a particular building development, energy resource, technology, or product?) The higher Perry levels are attained by those who realize "ambiguity is common to most questions", are able to honestly consider alternative points of view, and understand the context in which different viewpoints apply.
Watch the TED talk "On Being Wrong"

Often, lower level dualist views are maintained by those who have a hard time admitting they are wrong. Expanding incomplete viewpoints, adapting, and incorporating new information and perspectives often involves admitting being wrong in one or more areas!
