Myers and Briggs Analysis The Myers and Briggs Analysis is a series of questions that when answered are examined and grouped together in order to determine the personalities of those taking this test. This particular test can result in sixteen different outcomes or types of personalities, which is determined by four different categories that judge if you are introverted or extroverted, use your senses or your intuition, your choice to think or use your feelings, and finally if you are judgmental or perceptive. These series of questions are designed to judge our personalities and help us to determine which career pathways we will be most suited for based on our personality traits and abilities to work well with others, which is important for our future decisions. The Myers and Briggs personality test is unlike many of the personality tests you will find randomly online because it was designed to examine the ways in which you focus on the world and make everyday decisions. After taking this test myself I have found out a few things about myself that I did not really notice before. According to the Myers-Briggs test my personality type is INFP, which stands for Introversion, iNtuition, Feeling, and Perceiving. At the start of this test I had no idea that I was considered an introvert because as far as I can remember I have always loved being around people and never really thought about things before acting, which is the exact personality of an extrovert. The end of this personality test has a section that describes the different traits of those under that category and as for what it says about me I do feel that it matches some of my traits to a tee, but at the same time I feel like there are a few traits that are a bit off.

Overall this assignment and personality test has really opened up the ways that I think about my life and hopefully will affect the way I choose to make decisions in the future.

Having completed the Myers-Briggs Personality Test previously, I was identified as an INTP, which stands for introverted, intuitive, thinking, and perceiving. Accordingly, this personality is often labeled as “The Architect” or “The Logician.” Despite my previous results, I repeated the test as instructed in the assignment. Consequently, based on the outcome of the test, my personality has altered in the past year. Thus, my updated results based on this analysis were, INTJ (introverted, intuitive, thinking, and judging). However, the two personalities are similar, as only one trait seems to have varied. Therefore, instead of holding a characteristic grounded in perception, it would appear that I am inclined to mannerisms that indicate
Myers-Brigs is a personality assessment that focuses on specific traits that allow a person to capture a deeper understanding of who they are and what exactly makes them an individual. These traits are the person’s core personality of who they are behind closed doors, not how they would desire to behave. These traits are inborn and are the natural emotional reaction to the environment around us. There are four sections of the Meyers Briggs with two options in each section. Each person who completes the personality assessment is assigned four letters that represent their personal personality type. A summary is given that delves deeper into what those four letters represent. The summary includes, but is not limited to, strengths and weaknesses, relationships, and careers.
The Myers Briggs personality test to my sister, Karli Brewington. Karli Brewington is a ninth grader at Rock Hill High School in high academic achieving honors classes. Her rigorous class load and reading comprehension allowed her to understand a large majority of the questions on this test. Her results came back as ENFP ( E: extroverted, N: intuitive, F: feeling, and P: perception). This feedback is actually quite accurate for my sister. She is very curious and observant. My sister is also great at relaxing and being popular and very sociable. Her negative attributes are also very accurate. She has trouble focusing, overthinks in any circumstance, gets stressed out very easily, and is highly emotional in which
Myers Briggs is a company who has created a personality test to show the different personality types. BSM Consulting, author of “High Level Description of the 16 Personality Types by the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) explains in laymen terms the 16 personality types in detail. According to the (MBTI), everyone is categorized into one of the 16 personality types. The personality type of Princess Diana is “The Idealist.” Princess Diana was well loved and respected all around the world. She wanted to help anyone who needed it from the time she was a young girl long before she became a princess. “Some of the great, humanistic catalysts in the world have been INFPs”. (BSM, Consulting, “The Idealist” par. 11). The personality type of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was “The Artist”. Jackie was well respected as a First Lady being married to John F. Kennedy. She was a great contributor to the White House while she was there. Princess Diana and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis have demonstrated that they live up to the personality types of the “Idealist” and the “Artist” from the Myers-Briggs category because they both have shown three main characteristics:being a visionary, being thoughtful and considerate, and being an aggressive defender of what they believed in.
In our culture, most people are one of six personality types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional.
It is hard for me to agree with the Myers-Briggs type quiz because I am choosing my answers from what I think that I am like. I have taken the quiz at least 3 times and I have gotten many different type results. I take those quizzes out of boredom and/or to better understand myself. Some of my friends can read me like a book, so I ask them to psychoanalyze me sometimes just to see what they think. I think that learning psychology would make me realize things around me that I have not noticed was happening all along.
After taking this personality test I could not decide if I felt that my results were accurate about me or not. The personality test resulted in describing me as an extravert, intuitive, feeling, and judging (Humanmetrics,

Before taking the Myers-Briggs Interactive Test, I didn’t really know what to expect or what kind of questions I would be answering in order to determine what my personality type would be. Afterwards however, I wasn’t too surprised with my results of the test. Out of the sixteen different personality types, I got the INFJ personality type which simply means dominant introverted intuition. All of those letters were pretty self-explanatory and accurate according to how my temperament and personality are. The statistical conclusion was 67% introvert (I), 38% intuitive (N), 50% feeling (F), and 56% judging (J). Therefore I had a distinctive preference of introversion over extraversion, a moderate preference of intuition over sensing, a moderate preference of feeling over thinking, and a moderate preference of judging over perceiving.
The personality type letters are determined by adding up how many times a person answered A or B in each column. Keirsey again took the personality types a step further with The Keirsey FourTypes Sorter. This tool breaks down the sixteen personality types into four types of temperaments, (SJ) guardians, (NP) rationals, (SF) idealists, and (NT) artisans. These temperament types are found through a questionnaire made up of sixteen questions. Each question offers four answers, the person taking this questionnaire places a 1,2 ,3 or 4 from most to least like you to choose in each answer. At the end of the questionnaire the numbers are added up and the lowest score is what determines that person’s temperament. Each temperament has a different style in parenting, mating, and
