Prior to beginning work on this assignment, complete Level 2 of the EI Games Presentation Skills course, and watch the following videos: Reliability and Validity of MeasurementLinks to an external site., How to Lead Better Meetings (Using Personality Types)Links to an external site. and Understanding the Myers-Briggs Type IndicatorLinks to an external site.. 

Level 2 presents personality profiles as a frame for presentations. As suggested in Level 2, framing presentations with personality profiles

• fosters communication on a deeper level,
• establishes a connection with audience members’ dominant personality traits, and
• helps with understanding how audience members make decisions.

While reflecting on the material offered in the EI Games: Presentation Skills Course and developing your paper, consider prior learning and prior work experience, in addition to the material presented. Disagreeing with the principles presented in Level 2 is appropriate. However, do not reject the offered principles out of hand. Support acceptance or rejection of the offered principles with critical thinking and sound reasoning. To complete this assignment, you will need to select one of the approaches offered in one of the preceding videos to complete the following bullet points.
