Myers Briggs – Personality Finder

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bentley chapter.

The Myer-Briggs Type Indicator is a self-report questionnaire that helps you to understand the insights into your personality traits and how you make decisions and interact with others. You can take various versions of the test in order to obtain your 4-letter personality type. Many people rely on the online questionnaire created by 16personalities. It’s completely free to fill out and you’ll be able to learn insights on your career path, your relationships, and your strengths and weaknesses. 

 

The following 8 letters represent the possible combinations of personality types:

 

(E) Extrovert – energized by people, enjoy a variety of tasks, a quick pace, and are good at multitasking

(I) Introvert – often like working alone, prefer a more deliberate pace, and like to focus on one task at a time.

(S) Sensors – realistic people who like to focus on facts and details, apply common sense and past experiences to solve problems.

(N) Intuitive – prefer to focus on possibilities and the big picture, easily see patterns and seek creative solutions to problems. 

(T) Thinker – make decisions using logical analysis, weigh pros and cons, and value honesty, and consistency.

(F) Feeler – sensitive and cooperative, decide based on their own values and how others will be affected by their actions.

(P) Perceiver – prefer to keep their options open act spontaneously, and be flexible with plans.

(J) Judger – organized and prepared, like to make and stick to plans, most comfortable following the rules.

 

Taking this personality type indicator is great to take with a group of friends so that you can learn about your friends’ personality and how they think similarly or differently compared to you!
