Personality: How people perceive the world and make decisions

According to Jung, Briggs, Meyers& Keirsey

http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp

Four Main Indicators

• Introverted and/ or Extroverted– Where we get our flow of energy

• Sensing and/ or Intuition– How we absorb information

• Thinking and/ or Feeling– How we prefer to make decisions

• Judging and/ or Perceiving– The day-to-day lifestyle we prefer

Introversion v Extroversion

• There is a world inside ourselves, and a world outside ourselves.

• When we are dealing with the world outside of ourselves, we are "extroverting". When we are inside our own minds, we are "introverting".

• Within the context of personality typing, the important distinction is which world we live in more often. Do we define our life's direction externally or internally? Which world gives us our energy, and which do we perhaps find draining?

Sensing v. Intuition

• The "Sensing" preference absorbs data in a literal, concrete fashion. The "Intuitive" preference generates abstract possibilities from information that is gathered.

• We all use both Sensing and Intuition in our lives, but to different degrees of effectiveness and with different levels of comfort.

Thinking v. Feeling

• When someone makes a decision that is based on logic and reason, they are operating in Thinking mode. A "Thinker" makes decisions in a rational, logical, impartial manner, based on what they believe to be fair and correct by pre-defined rules of behavior.

• When someone makes a decision that is based on their value system, or what they believe to be right, they are operating in Feeling mode. A "Feeler" makes decisions on the individual case, in a subjective manner based on what they believe to be right within their own value systems.

• We all use both modes for making decisions, but we put more trust into one mode or the other.

Judging v. Perceiving

• People with the Judging preference want things to be neat, orderly and established. Judgers want things settled.

• The Perceiving preference wants things to be flexible and spontaneous. Perceivers want things open-ended.

We are a bit of Everything

• We are partially all 8 indicators. The MBTI simply finds which 4 of the 8 you use more often.
