Toward-honors quality writing: Strategies and tactics using psychological type
Ronald H. Warners, Curry College
What honors director or faculty member has not labored to bring the quality of student writing to
an honors level Surely, we all have. This session will introduce a correlation between effective,
persuasive writing and a writer’s personal strengths and shortcomings using the paradigm of
Jungian psychological type. Students themselves attest to being transformed into effective
writers for a wide range of audiences when their thinking and hence their writing, become
shaped by an awareness of their natural cognitive preferences,and by the strategic and tactical
aspects of writing that their preferences reveal. Specific examples will be demonstrated and a
bibliography provided.
