Do you know what MBTI type are you? Which type is your colleague that you always do not get well along? Or the type of the colleague you get along? Your manager’s? Your spouse’s? Ever wondered why something that is so obvious to you, is not seen as the same by someone else? Well, we all think differently and approach life in different ways. If you are curious, you can take the test and find out for yourself, but before that read some short theory. As a bonus, I’ve given my type and its characteristics of that type at the end (pl. note that we all evolve over a period of time and the type is not a constant).
MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) tests are a pretty famous tool to little better about ourselves. While each human being is unique, there are some broad categories they can be grouped into. MBTI tries to assess on these parameters:
- Introvert or Extrovert (I or E): From where do you draw your energies from
- Sensing or Intuition (S or N): How do you understand and interpret information
- Feeling or Thinking (F or T): How do you make decisions (logic vs empathy)
- Perceiving or Judging (P or J): How do deal with outside world (planned/structured vs spontaneous)
From the above you get 16 possible types. Interested in knowing yours? Take the test here (just 44 questions. Takes about 15 mins. Please answer based on what you are NOW, as opposed to what you may want to be).
Feel free to share your type. Note that there is nothing like BEST or WORST type.
Mine in INFJ (apparently the rarest, with only 1% of population!). And when I took it about 20 years ago, I was an ESFP. So, but for the (logic vs empathy) part, I’ve moved to the other end, and only retained “empathy”. Here is a detailed explanation of mine, see how much you’d agree with.
