Myers-Briggs — What Type Are You?
Whether you are starting a new company (like me at FanFuego.com, a social network for sports fans) or growing a ministry, knowing what kind of person you are and what kind of people those around you are can bring some great insights. According to the Jung – Myers-Briggs typology all people can be classified using four criteria:
Favorite world: Do you prefer to focus on the outer world or on your own inner world? This is called Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I).
Information: Do you prefer to focus on the basic information you take in or do you prefer to interpret and add meaning? This is called Sensing (S) or Intuition (N).
Decisions: When making decisions, do you prefer to first look at logic and consistency or first look at the people and special circumstances? This is called Thinking (T) or Feeling (F).
Structure: In dealing with the outside world, do you prefer to get things decided or do you prefer to stay open to new information and options? This is called Judging (J) or Perceiving (P).
Your Personality Type: When you decide on your preference in each category, you have your own personality type, which can be expressed as a code with four letters. For example: ISTJ is an Introvert Sensing Thinking Judging. Upon completing Jung Typology Test you will obtain your type formula, strengths of the preferences and type description. It may help you to identify your life style in general and with respect to specific fields of activity. You will also obtain a list of the most suitable career choices based on your personality, along with some educational institutions where you can receive a relevant degree or training.
The Myers-Briggs personality test is simply the best personality test out there. It’s incredibly insightful. I like to keep track of all my friends’ types. It’s very interesting to see how some types are very similiar, yet people are still very different.
Steve, which one are you? I’m a INTJ (78 75 62 22).
It’s very helpful for couples to print out their personality profile descriptions (find a very detailed description), and then each person takes their profile description prinout, and highlights what he/she agrees about him/herself, and strikes out what he/she disagrees with.
Then you read each other’s profile and discuss what you agree/disagree with. There are certain traits that will come to light that become more understood.
