Myers-Briggs Personality Test

Decent Essays
Curiosity motivated me to take another personality test and compare the results to the Myers-Briggs Personality test. The Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test had a larger pool of questions compared to the Myers-Briggs assessment. After answering over sixty questions I received the assessment of introvert, intuitive, thinking and judging which differed from the results of introvert, sensing, feeling and judging that I received from the Myers- Briggs personality test. If anyone else takes another personality assessment can you share if your results correlate with the Myers-Briggs personality

    The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) personality inventory is to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and useful in people's lives. The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random variation in the behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent, being due to basic differences in the ways individuals prefer to use their perception and judgment. "Perception involves all the ways of becoming aware of things, people, happenings, or ideas. Judgment involves all the ways of coming to conclusions about what has been perceived. If people differ systematically in what they perceive and in how they reach conclusions, then it is only reasonable for them to differ correspondingly in…

    The Myers-Briggs Test Indicator, or the MBTI, is a self-inventory designed to identify a person’s personality type, strengths, and preferences (Cherry, N/A). A woman named Isabel Myers and her mother, Katharine Briggs, composed this list of questions based on their work with a psychoanalytic psychologist, Carl Jung’s, theories on personality types (Cherry, N/A). After taking the test, people are told to have one out of sixteen personality types, and four out of eight personality traits. These personality traits are extroversion, sensing, thinking, judging, introversion, intuitive, feeling, and perceiving. After overviewing the analysis myself, I’ve found that, with my results, I am an ISFJ.…

Reading about my MBTI preferences has caused me to understand certain aspects in my life more clearly. I have realized how my personality connects with how I become stressed, make decisions, manage my time, and act in relationships.…

    The Myers-Briggs Personality Test is an assessment tool used to offer insight into how individuals think, function, and thrive (Myers & Briggs Foundation, 2016).
