The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a tool that helps to determine your personality type. There are 16 different types, all of which form some combination of the following:
- Introvert or extrovert
- Sensing or intuition
- Feeling or thinking
- Judging or perceiving
I am an INFJ, and I have been able to better understand myself by delving into my use of the different cognitive functions. In addition to learning about your own personality, by knowing the personality types of your friends, you can make an attempt to better understand them and come to know how to communicate with them more effectively.
Each of these personality types view the world and themselves in a different way. Although they are all different, there is no one type that is better than the other. By learning your personality type, you might be able to find something new about yourself or realize something you may have been wondering about. Have your friends take the quiz and see how you match up! You can find out your MBIT by visiting a website like 16personalities.com/free-personality-test.
