Emergence University Seminar (2024-06) June | Group > Socialization > Inferences > Behavior

Question: Where do inferences come from?

1. Behavior begins to exist at the edge of gender identity. It is the transition point between an urge and beginning to do/act in the world. Gender identity begins to translate into behavior.
2. There are four kinds of inferences that come from Socialization. Inferences are there before we behave. Inferences drive behavior, and the four types of groups (cult, family, loose, individuals) socialize us, and this then drives our inferences.
3. Each of the four groups has rules that collectively then form our socialization.
4. Inference is your mind’s sense of ‘is this, or is this not, the right thing to do.’ Group identity➡️ Socialization ➡️ Inferences ➡️ Person’s behavior.

2018 Retreat | Group 03 (Day 2) – Measuring Character Type – part 7: How Character Type Bakes

How Character Type gets baked. Most interesting part of this is Clancey realizing that there is nothing wrong with being a three & Maria talking about fear of raising a 1. I also like the idea that character type isn’t brokenness. Maria is a monster because her child might be a one.

2018 Retreat | Group 03 (Day 2) – Measuring Character Type – part 4: Clancey as a Three and Maria as a Two

A conversation about being Me-first vs You-first. Clancey struggled a lot knowing that she is a Three because she didn’t want to be “selfish”. Maria also talks a little bit about Jean trying to give to her and her being unable to take it. Clancey is a monster because she is Me first. Maria is a monster because she can’t meet her needs.
