CAREER TRACK TUESDAYS - WHAT IS YOUR PERSONALITY TYPE

Hermione Berry & Tricia Farren.


Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

'The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is a psychometric questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. These preferences were extrapolated by Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers from the typological theories proposed by Carl Gustav Jung, and first published in his 1921 book Psychological Types (English edition, 1923). Jung theorized that there are four principal psychological functions by which we experience the world: sensation, intuition, feeling, and thinking. One of these four functions is dominant most of the time.'

We were first asked to fill out a questionnaire - The Keirsey Temperament Sorter - a derivative of MBTI. 
This gave us a series of 4 letters depending on how you answered the questions.



We were then asked to to think about how we perceived ourselves to be in relation to the letters and what each one stood for. 




No that we had two sets of results we were given information on what each collection of letters meant about our personality type.



They also provided us with some information about how your personality type functions and work in a group, both positively and negatively.
