The Myers Briggs Type Indicator

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a self-evaluation that allows people to see what their preferences are when it comes to making decisions and how they see the world around them. It is important to remember that just because the test identifies your preference to be one way, does not mean that you are forever stuck in the preference. Rather that it is a preference and more likely that you will tend to behave in this way, but not impossible for you to behave in the other. To figure out which is one’s preferred method the test separates questions into categories that help determine how they make decisions and gather information.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) “is an introspective self-report questionnaire designed to indicate psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions” (13). It is one of several personality assessments that is popular among modern mental health experts throughout the world. Currently, it is estimated that the MBTI is “taken by more than two million people per year and is translated into 16 languages (10). “The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality inventory is to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and useful in people 's lives” (4).

(Personality Tests > Even Popular Tests are Controversial , 2009) There is no right or wrong answers to the test questions that are asked. It simply asks for what is your preference of the choices given. It is simply looking for your preferences in order to understand the difference between people. (Take the MBTI® Instrument, No Year) For each of the 16 types of people, none of them are considered to be better or worse than any of the other types. The results are not compared against any norms. The point of taking the test is to understand your personality type. When receiving the results the test, the score is only for helping to identify any possible preferences that could help understand strengths or weaknesses that the test taker might have.

Looking at the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Mark Wilson appears to be an ENFP. He’s very extraverted because he wasn’t afraid to try and start his new company. Once he realized that most telemarketers were unhappy and were only working as a telemarketer to progress in the job field, he knew that he had to change something right away. He seems intuitive because he looked at the “big picture” (making a company where telemarketers are happy and have long-lasting jobs) then figured out how to get there. He showed his feeling trait through his care for his coworkers and by trying to make them enjoy their jobs more. He didn’t make the new company to make a profit, his main reason was to help his fellow employees. His perceiving side stood out to

The results of my Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment revealed that I am an Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking and Perceiving (INTP) person. I don’t believe to have done this test in the past, so coming to find out that for the most part I fit the description was quite interesting. I am not necessarily everything an INTP is but it is the description that fits best. My current position at the company I work for has and will allow me to experiment with some of the materials we are sharing during this term and create my own conclusions on what works best for the type of employees that work under my direction.

Before taking the Myers-Briggs Interactive Test, I didn’t really know what to expect or what kind of questions I would be answering in order to determine what my personality type would be. Afterwards however, I wasn’t too surprised with my results of the test. Out of the sixteen different personality types, I got the INFJ personality type which simply means dominant introverted intuition. All of those letters were pretty self-explanatory and accurate according to how my temperament and personality are. The statistical conclusion was 67% introvert (I), 38% intuitive (N), 50% feeling (F), and 56% judging (J). Therefore I had a distinctive preference of introversion over extraversion, a moderate preference of intuition over sensing, a

My mission statement is to be a light and voice for Christ in a dark world. My core values, spiritual gifts, and my life experiences have all played an important role in forming my mission statement and who I am. My core values have given me an opportunity to make relationships with people because of God and my life growing up. Also, my spiritual gifts have given me another way to have a closer relationship with God. Lastly, my life experiences have changed the way I am as a person in all parts of my life including financial and physical health and in my work. All of these aspects of my life have been a great experience that have made me the person I am today and the person I will be in the future.

I decided to talk about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) as my assessment tool. From a post-modern theoretical perspective I know that using this assessment is more a modern perspective at the beginning because you are labeling the client. However, knowing what their type is allows a client to learn more about why they do the things they do. For example when we did this activity in class, I had one letter change from the last time to take it. I am now a sensor instead of a instead of an intuition. As I read over all the papers that were given to me that day, I have learned more about myself in regards to the sensors area and it has reaffirmed what I did know about myself such as that I am an introvert. Looking at the knowledge I gain

I took a Myers Briggs Type Indicator test last year and the result I got was INTP. I received the same results from the textbook’s test and the online test provided. My level of introversion has always been rather high, around eighty percent. I don’t exactly remember my previous

Based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment, my MBTI type is INTP; which is amazingly spot on. The INTP personality type is one of the rarest, making up only three percent of the population, which is exactly how I’d like it (INTP Personality). Just the thought of being “common” makes me cringe. A prime example of this is my preferred name, Curtis. My full name is Jon Curtis Miller and I prefer to be referred to by my middle name, Curtis. For as long as I can remember, when asked why I prefer to be addressed by my middle name instead of my first, my response has always been, “There are too many Jon’s in the world, and I’m not another Jon.” I’m unique, I know that and to a certain extent pride myself on being so.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is psychological test done to examine how people act or feel in various situations. It helps people to better understand and appreciate differences in others, thus enhancing cooperation and productivity in organizations.

Therefore, before writing and speaking to a particular audience in the organization or other social and political field that people usually work closely. We have to understand the audiences as individuals, for instances, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, emphasizes two significant dichotomies to identify ways that people differ. The extraverted types of people are energized by interreacting with other people. On the other hands, the introverted kinds of people focus their attention and get their energy from within. I believe that these two personality traits are essential to the terminate the individual audiences’ preferences, needs, and wants. The organizational culture plays a critical factor in the success of the organization because is the

The Myers-Briggs mini is another assessment that I took. In this assessment, there are four sections. Extroverts vs Introverts, Sensing Types vs Intuitive Types, Thinking Types vs Feeling Types, and Judging Types vs Perceptive Types. None of these choices are the right or wrong answers. It’s just a self-eval. On this assessment, there are the two choices, one on the left side and one on the right side. Underneath them, both are examples of preferences in their certain category. Then between these two choices is a line with a midpoint. On this line, the user has to rate himself/herself on where they think they are. More towards the left side or the right side? On my Myers-Briggs, I got an ISFJ personality. This means my functional pair is SF. The functional pair is always in the middle. Some examples of functional pairs are ST, SF, NF, and NT. This assessment, in my opinion, also really helps you find out more about yourself. Perhaps even something you didn 't even know about you. For example according to Otto Kroeger, my personality is committed to getting the job done. I am conscientious, loyal, dedicated, and work well when roles and

The Myers Briggs type indicator is a personality test designed by Katherine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers. The two designed the test after Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung’s theory of psychological archetypes (Brown & Reilly, 2009). Jung believed that each individual has “distinctive unlearned tendencies” in their individual experience of the world. The MBTI is scored after a participant completes a questionnaire consisting of 93 questions, after the completion of the 93 questions a four letter personality dimension is created. Based on the research and design done by Brigg’s and Myers, which began as an assistive device for women that wanted more knowledge about the type of work they would be most effective doing based on their personality during the WWII, 16 different personality types can be created based on individual responses

To begin, my Myers-Briggs personality type has changed over time. Last May, I took this test and found I was an INFJ personality type; this time, my results showed ESFJ. The difference in my results are balanced, as I am 9% Extroverted, 6% Sensing, 50% Feeling, and 19% Judging. The first two criterions that changed are low percentages, meaning that I show a slight preference for extroversion over introversion, and sensing perception over intuition.
