Clearing out my desk (part two): Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

If you haven’t done this before, it’s well worth a go to help you find out a little more about yourself. Based on your individual responses, the MBTI instrument produces results to identify which of the sixteen different personality types best describes you. Your personality type represents your preferences in four separate categories, with each category composed of two opposite poles. The four categories describe key areas that combine to form the basis of a person’s personality as follows:
- Where you focus your attention - Extraversion (E), or Introversion (I)
- The way you take in information - Sensing (S), or INtuition (N)
- The way you make decisions - Thinking (T), or Feeling (F)
- How you deal with the outer world - Judging (J), or Perceiving (P)
- Extraversion: People who prefer extraversion tend to focus their attention on the outer world of people and things.
- Introversion: People who prefer introversion tend to focus their attention on the inner world of ideas and impressions.
- Sensing: People who prefer sensing tend to take in information through the five senses and focu on the here and now
- Intuition: People who prefer intuition tend to take in information from patterns and the big picture, and focus on future possibilities.
- Thinking: People who prefer thinking tend to make decisions based primarily on logic, and on objective analysis of cause and effect.
- Feeling: People who prefer feeling tend to make decisions based primarily on values and on subjective evaluation of person-centred concerns.
- Judging: People who prefer judging tend to like a planned and organised approach to life, and prefer to have things settled.
- Perceiving: People who prefer perceiving tend to like a flexible and spontaneous approach to life, and prefer to keep their options open.
Why not guess what you think you are before taking the test?

Another similar type of personality analysis is the DISC profile (http://tinyurl.com/2r52lm).
It’s good fun to try and guess what “type” the people around you (partners, colleagues, clients) are!
