Thank you very much for making this presentation available. I find it very useful for my research!
Two questions regarding slide 24:
1. Could you please post the reference for Myers-Briggs ‘P-type’ mentioned under point 3 in the comments’ section (Social Network Analysis)?
2. What exactly is the connection between postmodernism and Narrative Analysis (point 4 in the comments’ section) ? Could you please post a reference?
In terms of your other query, I’m afraid my background here betrays me – I don’t pretend to know much about postmodernism (I’m essentially a scientist/quants person who has fallen into mixed methods/qualitative research) and as such I wouldn’t want to pass comment on this. From what little I do know, I’d say that postmoderism fits well with a relativist paradigm/research approach. And since, within postmodernism, there seem to be multiple ways of knowing, or multiple truths, depending on someone’s perspective, I can see how this might fit well with a narrative analysis, where you take the perspective of different individuals’ narratives in order to make sense of what is going on (or engage with different ‘truths’). I don’t have a particular reference for this but maybe others reading this website might do!
Excellent presentation. Very clear overview. Thank you.
Thanks Fernando – glad you enjoyed it.

Hi Martina
Glad you enjoyed the presentation. You can find more information about the Myers-Briggs personality types at http://www.skillsyouneed.com/ips/myers-briggs-type-indicators.html (and many other sites including the official one at http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/) although do be aware that Myers-Briggs, as an approach, has been discredited by many people. It is still used a lot though, when looking at personality types, especially when recruiting people to specific jobs.
