MBTI is a personality test classification indicator. It is a personality assessment test proposed in 1942 by Isabel Briggs Myers and his mother Katharine Cook Briggs, based on the book 'Psychological Types' by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung.
MBTI is a widely used psychological tool that helps people understand their behavior patterns, preferences, and how they interact with others. It divides personality traits into four dimensions, each with two tendencies, totaling eight tendencies. These dimensions are:
- Extraversion (E) and Introversion (I): Focus on energy flow and attention direction.
- Feeling (S) and Intuition (N): Ways to obtain and process information.
- Thinking (T) and Emotion (F): The main factors when making decisions.
- Judgement (J) and Perception (P): How to treat life and organization.
Through the tested Q&A tendency, roughly combined into 16 personality types, the subject can further explore and understand his or her personality, such as 'personal likes and dislikes', 'strengths and disadvantages', 'possible career preferences' or interactions with others.
Of course, there is no absolute good or bad in the 16 personality types, nor is there any type that is better or worse than others. The purpose is to understand a more real self and explain which type of people may have different reactions and emotions when facing the same thing, and which type of people may be more suitable for different majors and careers.
If you don't know your MBTI personality type yet, you can do a simple version of this 28 question test.
Those letters that score higher in each pair represent your four strongest preferences, and when combined, they will determine your personality typicality.
For example, you may be (ENFP), or (ISTJ), or any of the sixteen types of personality typical, and look at the combination of those four letters.
If your preferred letter score is 4, it means that the preference is moderate. Scores 5 or 6 points indicate a crescendo preference. And 7 points represent a very strong preference.
