Best Practices in HR Management In the last analysis it may well be that physiological causes inaccessible to our knowledge today (in 1926) play a part in this (Typology). reversal of type often proves exceedingly harmful to the physiological well being of the organism, often provoking an acute state of exhaustion.
Carl Jung
As a rule, when falsification of type takes place as a result of external influence, the individual becomes neurotic later, and a cure can successfully be sought only in the development of that individuals natural way.
Carl Gustav Jung, physician and psychiatrist Psychological Types (pages 415-416) Harcourt Brace and Company in 1926
1926 Jungs in-depth knowledge of human beings was tremendous, at a time when the amount of knowledge in physiology and the neuro-sciences was very limited.
Carl Jung
2006 Jungs in-depth knowledge of human beings can be explained today, because the amount of knowledge in physiology and the neurosciences has expanded tremendously.

Other neuro-sicentists exploring human potential discovered Optimal Thinking was characterized by Enthusiasm & Effortlessness
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi the 1st scientist to report the ground-breaking discovery Optimal Thinking exists Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience: Steps Towards Enhancing The Quality of Life.
1. Mihaly Csikszenmihalyis focus was on the mastery & anxiety 2. He proved Flow existed, but did not know how to help anyone else experience it.

Richard Haier the 2nd scientist discovers the existence of an area of focused natural efficiency in our brains, 1 area which uses only 1/100th the energy.
1. Richard Haiers focus was on the mastery & electrical efficiency 2. He found that mastery is not nearly as important; 3. Using the 1 area which is naturally efficient is important to achieve Optimal Thinking which is characterized by Effortlessness.

and that less than Optimal Thinking is characterized by boredom & exhaustion Richard Haier showed other areas of the cortex even when mastery has been achieved (i.e. the brain is as efficient as it can be simply through practice) use 100 times the energy used by the area of focused natural efficiency to think. In other words when you are using a non-preferred mode even if you become competent in something, you will exhaust your brain doing it.

Gallup International Research & Education Center 2001 study of 2 million persons
Falsification of Type Dr. Katherine Benziger (1985, USA, sample of 10,000 persons) using the BTSA and interviews to determine whether people were falsifying type and if they were falsifying type what was falsifying type doing to them. The conclusions were that 70 to 80 percent of the population were falsifying type and that the those falsifying type were trapped in a less than optimal life experience, triggering one of both of the crisis responses regularly.
Now, Discover Your Strengths Marcus Buckingham & Donald O. Clifton. Gallup International Research & Education Center (2001, 200 countries, 2 million people) created a revolutionary program to help people identify their talents, build them into strengths and enjoy consistent, near perfect performance. It was the result of a 25 year multi-million dollar retrospective study which found 80 percent of people around the world were not using their natural strengths or gifts.

Why is it so dangerous?
Based on Haiers breakthrough discoveries about learning, we now understand why Falsifying Type is so harmful to a persons physiology.
By leading with a mode other than their brains preference, they are forcing their brain to overwork to burn 100 times the energy it is set up to burn for hours and hours, day after day.

When the rule is followed all parts of the brain-body receive the oxygen they need to do their jobs. When the rule is violated, when the brain takes too much oxygen, it can throw the body out of homeostatic balance and causing the metabolism to shift from anabolic to catabolic.

The Good News: Now that we know better , we can make a difference: Implications for coaching and for businesses
Given 70-80% of the population are Falsifying Type, it can be helpful to start by assuming the people with whom you are working may be Falsifying Type. You will find it will be true for most people. Then:
Help them let go of long term habits of using highly developed nonpreferred competencies. Help them identify, embrace & develop their natural preference. Teach them how to leverage their preference.
