MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR

Since the dawn of time, we have tried to describe

and categorize ourselves in many ways. From

the four temperaments of the Ancient civilizations –

sanguine, choleric, melancholic and phlegmatic – to

the latest advances in psychology, people have

been restless in their pursuit of a good, reliable way

to fit something as complex and fluid as human

personality into a well-defined model. We are still

some time away from being able to do that,

although the current models account for the

majority of our personality traits and can often

predict with a high degree of confidence how we

are likely to behave in specific circumstances.

12

MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR ..CONTD

Briggs Myers, they developed a convenient way to describe

the order of each person’s preferences – this is how the four-

letter acronyms were born. There were four possible pairs of

personality traits:

• Introversion (I) or Extraversion (E)

• Intuition (N) or Sensing (S)

• Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)

• Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)

13


14

Five Personality Aspects when combined that define

the Personality Type


ENERGY

The second aspect determines how we see the

world and process information:

Intuitive individuals are imaginative, rely on their

intuition, absorbed in ideas, focus on what might

happen.

Observant individuals are down-to-earth, rely on

their senses, absorbed in practical matters, focus

on what has happened.

15


MIND

This aspect shows how we interact with other

people:

Introverted individuals prefer solitary activities, think

before speaking, get exhausted by social

interaction.

Extraverted individuals prefer group activities, think

while speaking, get energized by social interaction.

16


NATURE

This aspect determines how we make decisions

and cope with emotions:

Thinking individuals are tough, follow their minds,

focus on objectivity and rationality.

Feeling individuals are sensitive, follow their hearts,

focus on harmony and cooperation.

17


TACTICS

This aspect reflects our approach to work, planning

and decision-making:

Judging individuals are decisive, prefer clear rules

and guidelines, see deadlines as sacred, seek

closure.

Prospecting individuals very good at improvising,

prefer keeping their options open, relaxed about

their work, seek freedom.

18


IDENTITY

Finally, the Identity aspect underpins all others,

showing how confident we are in our abilities and

decisions:

Assertive (-A) individuals are emotionally stable,

calm, relaxed, refuse to worry too much.

Turbulent (-T) individuals are self-conscious, care

about their image, success-driven, perfectionists.

19


Now you know what each type consists of. But how

do they fit together? Their system has two layers:

the first (inner) one defines our Roles, the second

(outer) one – our Strategies.

The Role Layer determines our goals, interests and

preferred activities. There are four roles: Analysts,

Diplomats, Sentinels, Explorers .

The Strategy Layer shows our preferred ways of

doing things and achieving goals. There are four

strategies: Confident Individualism , People

Mastery , Constant Improvement & Social

Engagement ,
