How can I discover my personality type?
Many readers will be familiar with the basic four-dimensional MBTI framework,
Four dichotomies The four pairs of preferences or “dichotomies” are Discussed below
Extraversion / Introversion
Myers–Briggs uses the terms extraversion and introversion because Jung first used them.
Extraversion means literally outward-turning and introversion, inward-turning.
These differ somewhat from the popular usage of words. Extraversion is the spelling used in MBTI.
The preferences for extraversion and introversion are often called “attitudes”.
Briggs and Myers recognized that each of the cognitive functions can operate in the external world of behavior
action, people, and things (“extraverted attitude”) or the internal world of ideas and reflection (“introverted attitude”).
The MBTI assessment sorts for an overall preference for one or the other.
People who prefer extraversion draw energy from action: they tend to act, and then reflect, then act further.
If they are inactive, their motivation tends to decline.
To rebuild their energy, extroverts need breaks from time spent in reflection and, those who prefer introversion “expend” energy through action:
they prefer to reflect, then act, then reflect again.
To rebuild energy, introverts need quiet time alone, away from activity.
An extrovert’s flow is directed outward toward people and objects, whereas an introvert is directed inward toward concepts and ideas.
Contrasting characteristics between extraverted and introverted people include:
EXTRAVERTED:
- Extraverted are action-oriented
- Extraverted seek breadth of knowledge and influence
- Extraverted often prefer more frequent interaction.
- Extraverted recharge and get their energy from spending time with people, while
Introverted
- Introverted is thought-oriented.
- Introverted seek depth of knowledge and influence.
- Introverted prefer more substantial interaction.
- Introverts recharge and get their energy from spending time alone they consume their energy through the opposite process.
- Sensing intuition and thinking-feeling
Jung identified two pairs of psychological functions:
- perceiving functions: sensation ( sensing in MBTI writings) and intuition
- judging functions: thinking and feeling
According to Jung’s typology model, each person uses one of these four functions more dominantly and proficiently than the other three; however, all four functions are used at different times, depending on the circumstances.
Sensing and intuition are the information-gathering (perceiving) functions.
The second pair, Sensing and Intuition, refers to how you take in information. Sensing indicates a preference for more practical attention to facts and details, whereas, Intuition indicates a preference for more abstract attention to patterns and possibilities.
Thinking and Feeling.
The third pair, Thinking, and Feeling, refers to how you make decisions.
Someone with a preference for Thinking focuses more on logic and analysis, whereas,
someone preferring Feeling focuses more on personal values and effects.
Judging and Perceiving.
The final pair, Judging and Perceiving, refers to how you organize your world.
Someone with a preference for Judging tends to be decisive and prefers structure and control, whereas,
someone with a preference for Perceiving tends to keep their options open and prefers spontaneity and flexibility.
Preferences
The MBTI assessment presents questions to determine your preferences in each of the four dichotomies.
Once the preferences in each category have been determined, a personality type is identified
which can help to identify career options best suited for your type.
It not only helps in your career but also in life, not only that you can improve your personality
but it helps you deal with other people. Carl Jung’s theory test has now become a very popular test To find your personality type.
