12. MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR
Since the dawn of time, we have tried to describe
and categorize ourselves in many ways. From
the four temperaments of the Ancient civilizations –
sanguine, choleric, melancholic and phlegmatic – to
the latest advances in psychology, people have
been restless in their pursuit of a good, reliable way
to fit something as complex and fluid as human
personality into a well-defined model. We are still
some time away from being able to do that,
although the current models account for the
majority of our personality traits and can often
predict with a high degree of confidence how we
are likely to behave in specific circumstances.

13. MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR ..CONTD
Briggs Myers, they developed a convenient way to describe
the order of each person’s preferences – this is how the four-
letter acronyms were born. There were four possible pairs of
personality traits:
• Introversion (I) or Extraversion (E)
• Intuition (N) or Sensing (S)
• Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
• Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)

Five Personality Aspects when combined that define
the Personality Type

15. MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR ..CONTD
ENERGY
The second aspect determines how we see the
world and process information:
Intuitive individuals are imaginative, rely on their
intuition, absorbed in ideas, focus on what might
happen.
Observant individuals are down-to-earth, rely on
their senses, absorbed in practical matters, focus
on what has happened.
15

16. MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR ..CONTD
MIND
This aspect shows how we interact with other
people:
Introverted individuals prefer solitary activities, think
before speaking, get exhausted by social
interaction.
Extraverted individuals prefer group activities, think
while speaking, get energized by social interaction.

17. MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR ..CONTD
NATURE
This aspect determines how we make decisions
and cope with emotions:
Thinking individuals are tough, follow their minds,
focus on objectivity and rationality.
Feeling individuals are sensitive, follow their hearts,
focus on harmony and cooperation.

18. MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR ..CONTD
TACTICS
This aspect reflects our approach to work, planning
and decision-making:
Judging individuals are decisive, prefer clear rules
and guidelines, see deadlines as sacred, seek
closure.
Prospecting individuals very good at improvising,
prefer keeping their options open, relaxed about
their work, seek freedom.

IDENTITY
Finally, the Identity aspect underpins all others,
showing how confident we are in our abilities and
decisions:
Assertive (-A) individuals are emotionally stable,
calm, relaxed, refuse to worry too much.
Turbulent (-T) individuals are self-conscious, care
about their image, success-driven, perfectionists.

Now you know what each type consists of. But how
do they fit together? Their system has two layers:
the first (inner) one defines our Roles, the second
(outer) one – our Strategies.
The Role Layer determines our goals, interests and
preferred activities. There are four roles: Analysts,
Diplomats, Sentinels, Explorers .
The Strategy Layer shows our preferred ways of
doing things and achieving goals. There are four
strategies: Confident Individualism , People
Mastery , Constant Improvement & Social
Engagement ,
