16 Personality Types Can you accept me for who I am? Can I accept you for who you are?

2. Psychological Typing (PT)
PT is a tool to help us understand ourselves and others better by delving into the workings of Personality.
Developed in 1921 and researched extensively since that time, PT is a powerful tool; when used correctly it can be hugely helpful in de-mystifying the opinions and behaviors of others, thus improving our tolerance and respect for them, and our communication with them.
When we learn about our own personalities, we improve our understanding of our strengths and weaknesses, and clarify what we truly value as individuals.

3. The Four Preferences The Four Preferences are:
Extraversion and Introversion
Sensing and iNtuition
Thinking and Feeling
Judging and Perceiving

5. Extraversion and Introversion
When we talk about "extraversion" and "introversion", we are distinguishing between the two worlds in which all of us live.
There is a world inside ourselves, and a world outside ourselves.
When we are dealing with the world outside of ourselves, we are "extraverting".
When we are inside our own minds, we are "introverting".

6. We are extraverting when we:
Talk to other people
Listen to what someone is saying
Cook dinner, or make a cup of coffee
Work on a car

7. We are introverting when we
Read a book
Think about what we want to say or do
Are aware of how we feel
Think through a problem so that we understand it

8. Extraversion and Introversion
Within the context of personality typing, the important distinction is which world we live in more often.
Do we define our life's direction externally or internally?
Which world gives us our energy, and which do we perhaps find draining?

9. Sensing and iNtuition
The "SN" preference refers to how we gather information.
We all need data on which to base our decisions. We gather data through our five senses. Jung contended that there are two distinct ways of perceiving the data that we gather.
The "Sensing" preference absorbs data in a literal, concrete fashion.
The "Intuitive" preference generates abstract possibilities from information that is gathered. We all use both Sensing and Intuition in our lives, but to different degrees of effectiveness and with different levels of comfort.

10. We are Sensing when we: Taste food Notice a stoplight has changed
Memorize a speech
Follow steps in a plan

11. We are Intuitive when we:
Come up with a new way of doing things
Think about future implications for a current action
Perceive underlying meaning in what people say or do
See the big picture

12. Sensing and iNtuition
Within the context of personality typing, the important distinction is which method of gathering information do we trust the most?
Do we rely on our five senses and want concrete, practical data to work with?
Or do we trust our intuitions without necessarily building upon a solid foundation of facts?

13. Thinking and Feeling
When Jung studied human behavior, he noticed that people have the capability to make decisions based on two very different sets of criteria: Thinking and Feeling.
When someone makes a decision that is based on logic and reason, they are operating in Thinking mode.
When someone makes a decision that is based on their value system, or what they believe to be right, they are operating in Feeling mode.
We all use both modes for making decisions, but we put more trust into one mode or the other. A "Thinker" makes decisions in a rational, logical, impartial manner, based on what they believe to be fair and correct by pre-defined rules of behavior. A "Feeler" makes decisions on the individual case, in a subjective manner based on what they believe to be right within their own value systems.

14. Making decisions in the Thinking mode we:
Research a product via consumer reports, and buy the best one to meet our needs
Do "The Right Thing", whether or not we like it
Choose not to buy a blue shirt which we like, because we have two blue shirts
Establish guidelines to follow for performing tasks

15. Making decisions in the Feeling mode we:
Decide to buy something because we like it
Refrain from telling someone something which we feel may upset them
Decide not to take a job because we don't like the work environment
Decide to move somewhere to be close to someone we care about

16. Thinking and Feeling
Some decisions are made entirely by Thinking or Feelings processes.
Most decisions involve some Thinking and some Feeling.
Decisions that we find most difficult are those in which we have conflicts between our Thinking and Feeling sides. In these situations, our dominant preference will take over.
Decisions which we find easy to make and feel good about are usually a result of being in sync with both our Feeling and Thinking sides.

17. Judging and Perceiving
Judging and Perceiving preferences, within the context of personality types, refers to our attitude towards the external world, and how we live our lives on a day-to-day basis.
People with the Judging preference want things to be neat, orderly and established.
The Perceiving preference wants things to be flexible and spontaneous. Judgers want things settled, Perceivers want thing open-ended.

18. We are using Judging when we:
Make a list of things to do
Schedule things in advance
Form and express judgments
Bring closure to an issue so that we can move on

19. We are using Perceiving when we:
Postpone decisions to see what other options are available
Act spontaneously
Decide what to do as we do it, rather than forming a plan ahead of time
Do things at the last minute

20. Judging and Perceiving
The differences between Judging and Perceiving are probably the most marked differences of all the four preferences.
People with strong Judging preferences might have a hard time accepting people with strong Perceiving preferences, and vice-versa.
On the other hand, a "mixed" couple (one Perceiving and one Judging) can complement each other very well, if they have developed themselves enough to be able to accept each other's differences.
