The Myers- Briggs Type Indicator psychological questionnaire created to look at how people view the world and make decisions. Isabel Briggs Myers and Katherine Cook Briggs created the test in 1942 based on the research of Swiss Psychiatrist Carl Jung. During the short test, the individual is asked a variety of questions and then given a four-letter personality type based on their answers creating sixteen combinations for personality types. This includes introversion or extraversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling and judging or perceiving. Many refuse to accept this test as true because they do not believe that people can be labeled and put into categories My results were ISTJ or introverted sensing thinking and judging.

I am usually reasonable when making decisions and use a level head. I take making decisions pretty seriously so I look at all of the facts and weigh the pros and the cons. This is very logical thinking and I rarely look to my emotions to make major decisions.

Most people are a combination of both which is not a bad thing. Another negative aspect of the Myers- Briggs Indicator is that taking a test like this may hinder persons potential. For example when I took this test entering High school, I saw it as my destiny almost taking it too literally. I thought well I am in introvert so that made me think that I could not also have extroverted qualities. This system of labeling can actually do more harm than good especially in an education or work setting.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is an accurate view of how I view the world and make decisions because it fits my future job aspirations, learning style and personality type. Anyone could see how the test could have its faults but it was fairly accurate during my experience. This questionnaire can help someone identify strong qualities that will help others excel in the future. This is critical for successful future especially in the work place or education and it should be required to be taken by students and prospective
