Typing others while reducing projections and bias

A mode of deep listening is required within the framework of a dynamic/fluid conversation.

Regarding biases/projections, it is important that the person doing the typing recognize that he/she will not be completely devoid of bias and to accept this fact. At the same time, by listening deeply and asking thoughtful questions that may address one or more cognitive functions, the person doing the typing attempts to minimize projection as much as possible and aims to put the focus first and foremost on dialoguing with the client in the type of dynamic ‘dance’ that can naturally occur within the typing session.

When listening to the client comes first, the presence of bias can be minimized as best as humanly possible.

Bias can never be eliminated but only reduced. So by aiming towards accuracy and towards hearing the client and matching the responses (as best as possible) to what is known of the 8 function model, some great progress can be made towards landing at a type that fits the client in a natural way.
