Establish an imaginary line which extends between two ends of a spectrum, eg no energy to high energy.
Pose a series of questions or scenarios inviting each person to consider their preferred response, eg are you more of an introvert or an extrovert?
Invite everyone to stand at a point along the line, between the two ends of the spectrum, which most closely reflects their preference.
Once positioned, ask each person to note the spread or otherwise of the group and their position within it.
For added value, invite individuals to share with people close to them.
Repeat the process several times.
