The Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator (MBTI)

Psychological tests are sets of questions, symbols and exercises used to determine a person’s ability, aptitude, knowledge, interest and level of social adjustment.

They are usually made up of test items which are designed to reveal certain traits in an individual who has been exposed to the test. These tests could be standardized or non-standardized.

The first psychological test to be developed was an intelligence test designed as a tool to identify students who needed remedial teaching, not as a test to measure innate ability, as its most widely used today.

Developed in Paris by Alfred Binet and Thèodore Simon, the Simon-Binet intelligence test first appeared in French schools in 1905 and was translated into English and first used in America three years later.

The aim of psychological tests is to help identify individual differences, and how these differences could be harnessed to make people effective in society. Being effective implies imbibing positive social skills and values as well as providing meaningful services in the society.

Psychological tests aren’t without drawbacks, but developed and used properly, they give us accurate information that can be used in a variety of ways to help individuals, schools, businesses, and society in general thrive.

There are three basic types of psychological tests: neuropsychological, personality, and intelligence tests. For the purpose of this article we will be looking at personality tests.

Personality Types

Humans have long been fascinated with the idea of personality traits and types. For example, Hippocrates the Greek physician known as “the Father of Medicine,” who lived somewhere between 300 and 400 B.C.E, did a lot of work on personality.

Drawing on the wisdom of earlier traditions that had lasted from the sages of ancient Egypt and the mystics of Mesopotamia, Hippocrates concluded that there are four types of personalities. He called these the four humors of the Greeks, and listed them as choleric, phlegmatic, melancholic and sanguine.

There are various definitions of the word personality, but for the purpose of this article, we will define personality as a collection of particular traits and qualities of behaviors and beliefs that make a person unique.

Over the centuries, hundreds of theories have been developed to explain why people are how they are, and why they’re different from one another. For example, aside Hippocrates and the early Greeks who believed that a person’s character was dependent on the presence — or absence — of certain substances in the body.

Franz Gall was an eighteenth century scientist who spent a lot of time studying the brains of dead people. His aim was to try to match the shape of people’s brains to their personality.

After extensively studying the brains of so many dead people, he created a theory about personality, brain shape, and the patterns of bumps on the human skull and called the theory phrenology. This theory asserts that the shape and size of a person’s head account for mental abilities and personal characteristics.

This theory became extinct when more advanced studies of the brain came along during the twentieth century. There are plenty of assessments both off and online that people take to know about their personality, but the two most common types are personality and interest inventories.

Remember, these assessments cannot predict the future; the results you get are only as good as how well you respond to the questions. In other words, if you take time to thoughtfully complete the assessments you will be coming across in this article, you’ll get as much useful information as possible regarding your personality type.

Personality Inventories

There are three basic modern categories of theories on personality: the cognitive, constructivist and psychodynamic theories of personality.

The idea of the Personality Types we will be focusing on here got its root from Carl Jung (a Swiss psychologist and a devote disciple of Freud) who borrowed a lot of his ideas from the psychodynamic theory of personality which was formulated by Sigmund Freud.

While Jung was making his revolutionary discovery, a woman in the U.S named Katharine Briggs who had long been interested in similarities and differences between human personalities began to develop her own system for sorting people. In 1921, Jung published his ideas on personality in a book called Psychological Types.

When Katharine read the English translation published two years later, she found out Jung had already established what she had been looking for, so she adopted his model and began a serious study of his work. She also engaged her young daughter Isabel in her adventure.

Jung believed human behaviors that seemed unpredictable, could in fact be predicted if one understood the underlying mental functions and attitudes people preferred. He outlined that there existed three basic personality preference scales and eight personality types.

Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers determined based on their many years of study, that there were four personality preference scales and sixteen personality types; these are the sixteen personality types which we will cover here.

Starting in the 1940s, Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers began developing the MBTI® test instrument — a detailed test to measure personality type. This test has been scientifically refined and improved over the years.

Things to Know Before Taking Personality Inventories

1. You are unique, no test can tell who you’re a hundred percent.

As Robert Greene said in his book The 50th Law, “you are one of a kind; your character traits are a kind of chemical mix that will never be repeated in history.”

Forty people of the same personality type in a class room would all be different because they have different unique genetic properties, life experiences, interests, and lots more. But they would also have a lot in common.

2. When taking a test always remember you’re looking for clues. You should just be looking for clues, or suggestions, rather than for a definitive answer that says “this is what you must do with your life.”

3. Take several tests and not just one. One can quickly send you down the wrong path. The reason is because; there are no good or bad, smart or dull types. Type does not determine intelligence or predict success in life. It basically helps you discover what best motivates and energizes you as an individual, and this in turn will enlighten and empower you to make better choices.

4. A test should be to broaden your horizons, and only later narrow your options down; you are not trying to narrow them down from the outset. For example, if you say, “I don’t like to work outdoors,” immediately all outdoor careers shouldn’t be eliminated from your consideration. Still be open to other possibilities within that field.

5. Testing will always have “mixed reviews.” Meaning, you can meet people who will tell you they took this or that test years ago, and it made all the difference in their lives and even career. And you can also meet others who will tell you an inventory they took ruined everything for them. The basic point here is, use the test to expand your horizon.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

One good way to know your personality type is to complete a sophisticated personality inventory like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®), and have the results interpreted by a trained professional like a guidance counselor or psychologist.

But since that is not practical for the purposes of this article, I offer another self-explanatory method which I have designed to help you take the test and get a comprehensive understanding of your results.

It’s a two-step process; the first involves learning about the four dichotomies of the (MBTI®) Personality Type. As you read about each type dimension, think about which preference sounds more like you.

What’s preference? The theory of preferences in personality is based on a very simple idea. Do these short exercises:

A. Write your name as you normally do_________________________

B. Now write your name using your other hand__________________

How did it feel when you used your preferred hand? I believe it was natural and effortless. How about when you used your other hand? It felt “slow,” and “it required more energy and concentration.”

This is the basic substratum on which the theory of preferences is built. It’s not as if you can’t write with your second hand, but you prefer doing it with your normal hand as it’s easier and comes somewhat naturally.

In same manner, everyone has a natural preference for one of the two opposites on each of the four MBTI dichotomies. As we use our preferences in each of these areas, we develop what Jung and Myers call psychological type:

an underlying personality pattern resulting from the dynamic interaction of our four preferences, environmental influences, and our own choices. Most of what you will read about your preference will sound true for you, but remember, the preferences are generalities.

You are to write down the symbol which you think most accurately reflects how strong your preference is. After indicating your type preference for each of the four type dimensions, you will end up with a four-letter code (word) which will represent your personality type or one that is very close to it. The second step will come after you have completed the first.

You will also find out that there are eight preferences in all, each represented by a particular letter. These letters are used in combination to represent the sixteen (MBTI®) personality types. Your particular combination of preferences is more meaningful than any one preference by itself.

The 16 MBTI Personality Types

A Quick Guideline

1. The first letter of the code shows the energy preference, the second letter the perception preference, the third letter the judgment preference, and the fourth letter the preference for using judgment or perception while extraverting.

2. Since this inventory will be self-administered, there are basic pitfalls you must avoid. For example, don’t purposely answer questions so as to appear to be a particular kind of person. Answer according to your actual inclinations.

3. The MBTI instrument is not a test of skills or abilities, so there is no right or wrong answers, and no better or worse types. Also, it should be noted that Jung did not say that a person is either one or the other of these four pairs. Rather, one can be extraverted in some degree as well as introverted in some, and so on.

4. There is no time limit for taking the MBTI questionnaire, but it is best not to spend too long on any one item. Your immediate response to an item most likely reflects a preference.

5. In rare cases a preference can be omitted, but only if you really cannot make any possible choice at that moment. Also Jung did not say that one doesn’t change in the extent of preference for one or another of the four differences. As time passes it’s possible that one’s preference may strengthen or weaken.

6. People often behave in ways that deviate markedly from their natural type when they are experiencing stress, and this may affect the way they answer questions. Hence this assessment shouldn’t be taken when under stress, due to possibilities of stress-related distortions.

7. While the names of some of the MBTI preferences are familiar words, the MBTI meaning of the preferences is somewhat different from everyday use. For example, “Extravert” doesn’t mean “talkative”. “Introvert” doesn’t mean “shy”. “Feeling” doesn’t mean “emotional”. “Judging” doesn’t mean “judgmental”.

The Four MBTI Dichotomies

1. (E) Extraversion / Introversion (I)

Extraversion and Introversion are two opposite ways of being energized and using energy. When we are extraverting, we direct our energy mainly outwardly, toward people and objects in the outside world.

When we are introverting, we direct our energy mainly inwardly, toward our inner experiences and ideas. Everyone uses both Extraversion and Introversion at least some of the time, but one of the two tends to be most natural and automatic.

People who prefer Extraversion (Extraverts) typically feel energized by and seek out situations where they can work with people and be actively involved with the world. When they spend a lot of time alone they may feel tired, dissatisfied, and may seek out the stimulation of other people and activities.

People who prefer Introversion (Introverts) typically feel energized by and seek out situations where they can work and spend recreational time alone, and where they have plenty of time to reflect on what they are doing.

If they have to spend a lot of time working with, being around, or socializing with people, they may feel tired, dissatisfied, and may seek out the quietness and calmness of being alone. This is not to say that introverts do not like to be around people. Introverts enjoy interacting with others, but it drains their energy in a way not experienced by extraverts.

Hans J. Eysenck, a psychologist who formulated a personality inventory known as the P.E.N test believes the brain cells of introverts are overly aroused, so they tend to stay within themselves because they have all the internal stimulation they need. While Extraverts on the other hand, don’t get enough cortical arousal; this causes them to get bored and seek excitement.

Note: sometimes it’s hard to decide between these two preferences because of the way we change with age, or behave when faced with various situations.

If you are still undecided between Extraversion and Introversion, answer this question genuinely: If you had to be one way or the other for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

Write down the letter representing your preference. For example, if you picked extraversion then write down the letter ‘E’.

2. (S) Sensing / Intuition (N)

Sensing and Intuition are two opposite ways of gathering information or perceiving. When we use Sensing, we gather information via our five senses. Our focus when we are using Sensing is on the facts and details that are in our immediate environment.

When we use Intuition, we focus on patterns and meanings that can be inferred from information obtained through our senses; our focus is on speculating about future possibilities and implications. Everyone uses both Sensing and Intuition at least some of the time, but one of the two tends to be most natural and automatic.

People who prefer Sensing (Sensors) ordinarily notice and remember facts and details; they like information to be firmly connected to past and present experience and prefer information that are grounded in facts and can be easily verified. They can become impatient and critical when forced to deal with ambiguity.

People who prefer Intuition (intuitives) typically read between the lines, making inferences about the meaning of others’ words and actions. They prefer situations that allow them to speculate about future possibilities, and can become bored and unmotivated when forced to deal with too much facts and details.

The person who has a natural preference for sensing would probably describe themselves first as practical, while the person who has a natural preference for intuition would choose to describe themselves as innovative.

3. (T) Thinking / Feeling (F)

Thinking and Feeling are two opposite ways of making judgments and coming to conclusions. When we use Thinking, we use cause-and-effect analysis to reach a conclusion that is logically true.

When we use Feeling, we weigh our own and others’ values and concerns to reach a conclusion that promotes agreement and harmony among those involved. Everyone uses both Thinking and Feeling at least some of the time, but the one that is used most automatically and naturally is the one preferred.

People who prefer Thinking (Thinkers) typically take a dispassionate approach to decision making, using consistent principles to arrive at conclusions that treat people impartially; this is their primary goal, the welfare of people is secondary.

People who prefer Feeling (Feelers) typically involve themselves in the decision-making process, working to understand the values and concerns of those involved, in order to arrive at conclusions that take the welfare of people into account as the primary goal, with logic and impartiality being secondary.

Write down the letter representing your preference….

4. (J) Judging / Perceiving (P)

Judging and Perceiving are two general approaches taken when we deal with the outer world — regardless of whether we prefer Extraversion or Introversion. When we use Judging, we want things around us to be settled and decided.

When we use Perceiving, we want to gather as much information as possible before we reach a decision. Everyone uses both Judging and Perceiving at least some of the time, but the one that we use most comfortably when we can behave as we like is likely to be our natural preference.

People who prefer a Judging (Judgers) attitude typically like to make both short-and long-term plans, and get things done efficiently according to a schedule. They would rather make a decision that has to be changed later than continually put off decision making to gather more information.

People, who prefer a Perceiving (Percievers) attitude, typically like the freedom to respond spontaneously and flexibly to tasks, and feel most effective without set plans. They would rather consider all the relevant information available before making a decision than come to a conclusion without enough information.

Write down the letter representing your preference…

Now that you have written your preferences for all four preferences, now add all the letters together, starting from the first to the last. What you get is your MBTI personality type. You are going to have any of the sixteen MBTI types shown earlier.

Note: the MBTI® instrument is one of the most reliable and valid self-report personality inventories in the world, but no psychological instrument is infallible. Because of this, let’s consider the letter code you just wrote down, a hypothesis about your personality type.

The Sixteen MBTI Personality Types

When you put together the values of your selected preference, you will come up with a four letter code which is your unique personality type that falls under the sixteen Types outlined earlier. Go ahead and jump to the part of the sections below which talks about your specific type.

For example, if you’re an ENFP, instead of reading about other types, read about your specific type first and see if it describes you. If it doesn’t, it most certainly means you made a mistake in the first step which is getting your preference right. I advise you go back and do it over, and when you have done it right and read about it, go ahead and read about all the other types as well to make comparisons.
