Myers – Briggs Personality How to decipher the “letter” combinations associated with the Myers-Briggs Personality Assessment. The purpose of this inventory is to give you a picture of the shape of your personality preferences – or how do you prefer to get through the day

Where do you focus your attention?

Extraverts (E) Energy is directed primarily outward, towards people and things outside of themselves. They tend to be more naturally active, expressive, social, and interested in many things.

Extraversion vs. Introversion

Extraverts Have high energy Talk more than listen Think out loud Act, then think Like to be around people a lot Prefer a public role Can sometimes be easily distracted Prefer to do lots of things at once Are outgoing & enthusiastic

Extraversion vs. Introversion

Extraversion Feels pulled outward by external claims and conditions (looks outside) Likes to work in groups Likes people Energized by other people, external experiences. Like to experience Acts, then (maybe) reflects on actions Leaps into actions and thinks later. Impatient and impulsive

Talking with Extraverts (E) Show energy and enthusiasm Respond quickly without long pauses to think Allow talking out loud without definite conclusions Communicate openly—do not censure Focus on the external world, the people and things

Introverts (I) Energy is primarily directed inward, towards their own thoughts, perceptions, and reality. Tend to be more reserved, private, cautious, and interested in fewer interactions, but with greater depth and focus.

Introverts Have quiet energy Listen more than talk Think quietly inside my mind Think, then act Feel comfortable being alone Prefer to work “behind the scenes” Have good powers of concentration Prefer to focus on one thing at a time Are self-contained and reserved

Extraversion vs. Introversion

Introverts Feels pushed inward by external claims and intrusions. Likes to work quietly Needs quiet Energized by inner resources, internal experiences Likes to “think” Likes ideas Reflects, then (maybe) acts Understands the world before experiencing it. Misunderstood “loner”

Talking with Introverts Include time for I’s to get to know you and trust you Encourage responses with questions like “what do you think about ____?” but don’t overwhelm the I with too many questions Allow time for I’s to think before responding; don’t expect immediate answers to questions (sending agendas before meetings helps) Have more individual or one-to-one activities than group activities. Do not assume an I is uninterested; they may just be taking time to process information

How do you look at things?

Sensing (S) Notice the facts, details, and realities of the world around them. Tend to be practical and literal people, who trust past experience and often have good common sense.

Sensing Focus on details and specifics Admire practical solutions Notice details and remember facts Are pragmatic-see what is Live in the here-and-now Trust actual experience Like to use established skills Like step-by-step instructions Work at a steady pace Get anxious when things change without notice Want things settled

Sensing vs. Intuition

Sensing Looks at specific parts and pieces. Likes details/facts Careful with details Live in the present, enjoying what’s there Likes to work in the here-and-now Limited Prefers handling practical matters Realistic, concrete facts Likes things that are definite, measurable Starts at the beginning, takes a step at a time Reads instructions, notices details Likes set procedures, established routines S’s may seem materialistic and literal-minded to N’s Needs intuition for balance

Talking with Sensors Show evidence, i.e., facts, details, and examples Be practical and realistic, and document successful applications Have a well thought out plan with the details worked out in advance Show how your suggestion is a continuation of what is, not a radical change Be direct Be orderly—show the steps involved

Intuition (N) More interested in connections and relationships between facts as well as the meaning, or possibilities. Tend to be imaginative, theoretical people who trust their hunches & pride themselves on their creativity.

Intuitive Focus on the big picture and possibilities Admire creative ideas Notice anything new or different Are inventive-see what could be Think about future implications Trust their gut instincts Prefer to learn new skills Like to figure things out for themselves Work in bursts of energy Like spontaneity Get bored with the same things

Intuitive Looks at patterns and relationships Looks at the big picture Lives toward the future anticipating what might be Future is exciting Prefer imagining possibilities Inspiration, likes the unknown Jumps to conclusions Impatient with details Likes opportunities for being inventive Jumps in anywhere, leaps over steps Skips directions, follows hunches Likes change and variety N’s may seem fickle, impractical dreamers to S’s Need sensing for balance

Sensing vs. Intuition

Talking with Intuitives Present global schemes, the concept—give the main idea first Don’t give lots of details unless asked to do so Indicate the challenges, the possibilities, and the differences your ideas with bring Delineate the future benefits Show the aspects that are non-routine Be aware that work may come in bursts and spurts, not and even flow Let N’s dream and don’t burst the bubble—encourage imagination

Sensing vs. Intuition

How do you make decisions?

Thinkers (T) Make decisions based primarily on objective and impersonal criteria—what makes the most sense and what is logical. Tend to be cool, analytical, and are convinced by logical reasoning.

Thinkers Make decisions objectively Appear cool and reserved Are most convinced by rational arguments Are honest and direct Value honesty and fairness Take few things personally Tend to see flaws Are motivated by achievement Argue or debate issues for fun

Thinking vs. Feeling

Thinkers See things as on-looker, from outside a situation Likes logic, facts Weighs evidence Takes a long view Considers facts-objective Spontaneously finds flaws, criticizes Good at analyzing what is wrong. Misunderstands others May not show feelings Decided with the head Goes by logic Concerned for truth, justice

Talking with Thinkers Be brief and concise Be logical and do not ramble List the pros and cons of each alternative Be intellectually critical and objective Be calm and reasonable Don’t assume feelings are unimportant—they are just valued differently Present emotions and feelings as facts to be weighed in the decision

Feelers (F) Make decisions based primarily on their personal values and how they feel about the choices. Tend to be sensitive, empathetic, and are compelled by extenuating circumstances and a constant search for harmony.

Feelers Decide based on their values and feelings Appear warm and friendly Are most convinced by how they feel Are diplomatic and tactful Value harmony and compassion Take many things personally Are quick to compliment others Are motivated by appreciation Avoid arguments and conflicts

Thinking vs. Feeling

Feelers Sees things as a participant, from within a situation Sympathetic, tactful, and sensitive Takes an immediate and personal view Considers feelings-subjective Spontaneously appreciates Decisions based on values Not logical in decisions Sensitive to criticism Decides with the heart Goes by personal convictions Intuition/feelings Concerned for relationships, harmony

Talking with Feelers Get to know the person before getting down to business Be personable and friendly Demonstrate empathy by presenting areas of agreement first Show why the idea is valuable to people and how it will affect people Be aware that F’s may have difficulty being critical and giving negative feedback Pay close attention to the process, the way you are communicating not just what you are saying; watch the body language and nonverbal ques.

How do you deal with the world?

Judgment (J) Prefer a structured, ordered, and fairly predictable environment, where they can make decisions and have things settled. Tend to be organized and productive.

Judgment Make most decisions pretty easily Are serious and conventional Pay attention to time and are prompt Prefer to finish projects Work first, play later Want things decided See the need for most rules Like to make and stick with plans Find comfort in schedules

Judgment Handles deadlines, plans in advance Organized, planned Uses day timers J’s may seem demanding, rigid, uptight to P’s They want things settled Need perception for balance Uptight, controlling, stubborn, inflexible

Judgment vs. Perception

Talking with Judgment Present a timetable and stick with it Don’t surprise J’s; give warnings of coming changes when possible Allow time to prepare Show that you also accomplish things and can be counted upon to follow through Show your achievements, your results Take a stand, don’t be wishy-washy

Perceivers (P) Prefer to experience as much of the world as possible, they like to keep their options open and are most comfortable adaption. Tend to be flexible, curious, and non-forming.

Percievers May have difficulty making decisions Are playful and unconventional Are less aware of time and run late Prefer to start projects Play first, work later Want to keep their options open Questions the need for many rules Like to keep plans flexible Want the freedom to be spontaneous

Judgment vs. Perception

Perceivers Meets deadlines by last minute rush Likes change Flexible, spontaneous P’s may seem disorganized, messy, irresponsible to J’s Keep options open Needs judgment or balance Sloppy Distracted easily Indecisive Doesn’t plan

Talking with Perceivers Allow for things to flow, not to follow your time and action calendar Bring in new information and ideas Allow time fro thorough discussion; complexity is desirable Allow for options, for changes Encourage autonomy Realize any change in direction is not necessarily impulsiveness
