The MBTI is taken by over 2 million people annually.

12. Focus of Energy

13. Extraversion - Overview People who have a preference for Extraversion focus on the outer world of people, things and action.

14. Extraversion – Painting Inspiration This painting captures the energy, “busyness” and noise of Extraversion. Its title “Can I Run Something by You?” speaks volumes about how people process out loud. A person with a preference for Extraversion seeks out this external world of people and things to provide them with energy and stimulation..

15. Extraversion - Characteristics Communicate energy and enthusiasm Speak---think---speak Focus of talk is on people, and things in the external environment Seek opportunities to communicate in groups Prefer face to face over written interactions In meetings, like talking out loud before coming to conclusions Act first, think later Initiate social interactions Enjoy interacting with lots of people

16. Introversion - Overview People who have a preference for Introversion focus on the inner world of ideas and impressions.

17. Introversion – Painting Inspiration This painting was done as a contrast to the painting that illustrates Extraversion. It was inspired by the comment a person with a preference for Introversion made about life being ‘shades of gray”. Do you have a sense of where you are most comfortable – Introversion or Extraversion ?

18. Introversion - Characteristics Keep energy and enthusiasm inside Think---speak---think Enjoy in-depth, one-on-one relationships Like to concentrate for long periods of time Prefer written over “face-to-face” communication Think first, act later Prefer to connect with the task, not necessarily with other people Keep feelings and interests to themselves, sorting issues on their own In meetings, verbalize only well- thought-out conclusions.

21. Step 2 Distinctions Personality is both complex and dynamic. Step 2 helps us to understand the subtleties that contribute to who we are, The four pairs (E-I, S-N, T-F, J-P) can be further distinguished by looking at the five different facets that contribute to each pair. For any particular pair an individual may favour the side of the polarity consistent with their preference or they may favour the opposite side in some facets.
