I'm sure that a lot of you have heard of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. You may have even done the test yourself. When you do the test, you learn about how you make choices and how you view the world.
To be honest, I don't really know a lot about the MBTI so I've decided to do this to try and get my head around the different types. When I look at the different types, all I see are many letters everywhere and I don't know what they are talking about.
People tend to put on profiles etc, I'm an INFP. Do they really know what the means I wonder. I know I don't.
Lets have a look at an example. As I just wrote you have INFP.
The I comes from extroversion or introversion, so in this case it is introversion.
The N refers to how the person gathers information. You have sensing and the N refers to intuition.
The F refers to how the person makes a decision. Some people make decisions by thinking. They weigh up reason. good sense, order and cause and effect. The INFP (F) means feeling and this person will likely make a decision based on how it will affect the people around them.
The final type deals with dealing with others and how they deal with the outside world. There is J which is judging. P stands for perceiving.
In the above example, INFP, they are an introvert, intuition, feeling, perceiving.
For me that is about as clear as mud. However, in the coming days we should get a better understanding of each of the 16 types of the MBTI.
