I have a small preference of extraversion over introversion; I have a strong preference of intuition over sensing; I am said to have a slight preference of feeling…

Ever wonder how a modern psychologist is able to accurately discover an individual’s personality traits? There is a system in place called the Big 5 and it allows for an accurate reading of a person’s traits in a simple and quick process.

My confirmed profile is ENFP, ( Extraversion, iNtuition, Feeling, Perception); this means that in business and school I am driven to find…
