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.

From the above test I undertook, it is evident that I incline more to being an extrovert than an introvert. Even though I strongly disagree with the fact that my emotional intelligence is low, as per the results, I think the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test was unbiased and precise. This can be proven from my personality class, which is EFNJ.
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
The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Personality test is to be able to determine a person’s perception of the world and how their views, beliefs and judgments affect them both in decisions they make in
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,
The Myers Briggs test is a complex way of figuring out your personality type. When the Myers Briggs test gives you your personality test answers there are 4 letters that are given. There are 16 different possible types of personality. The definition of the Myers Briggs test is a “widely-used personality inventory, or test, employed in vocational, educational, and psychotherapy settings to evaluate personality type in adolescents and adults” (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). The test is a series of questions that ask you about your daily life and how you act. It is mainly used to assess student learning style (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator).
The Myers-Briggs Personality Test shows which of the sixteen personality types a person resembles the closest. The test revealed that I am an ISTJ. Within those categories, I am 28% introvert, 28% sensing, 25% thinking, and 62% judging. By examining each category separate, I will determine what each category says about me and give examples of how each one relates to my personal and work life.
I perceived my assessment results to be reasonably accurate. I am able to agree with most of the description of an INFJ personality. However, it is not something that I take literal, it is a good guide into my personality and how I perceive the world around me. The results of the assessment do not define me as a person but can help me understand aspects of my personality and help me develop ways that I can work towards being an individual who encompasses pieces of all personality types.
Personality tests help identify an individual’s characteristics, provide employees and managers information about the individual to use for discussing individual differences, promote conscious knowledge of one’s character, feelings, and motives, and provide a starting point for group discussion (Passmore, 2008). Employers that uses workplace personality tests for development purposes look for tests that are “less psychological and have more positive language, such as Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)” (Lloyd, 2012). The MBTI is one of the most used personality tests in businesses today. It was developed over 30 years ago by Katherine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. They generated their test based on Carl Jung’s theory personality types. Jung proposed that there are two psychological types of the basic personality traits—introversion and extraversion, and four functions (thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuiting). He also believed that everyone has aspects of both introversion and extraversion; however, one of those attitudes is seen more consciously and the other is more unconsciously. Myers and Myers-Briggs added two more functions to Jung’s theory (judging and per...
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.
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.
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
The Myers-Briggs profile was based on the test developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers (“The History of the MTBI assessment”, 2017). There are eight letters that can make up your profile E, N, F, P, I, S, T, and J. “E” stands for extrovert, meaning someone outgoing or social. “N” stands for intuitive, meaning the person goes off of their reasoning or feelings about something. “F” is for feelings, which represent an emotional state or belief about something. “P” is the symbol for perceiving, which means the way you process or take in a certain situation. “I” is for introvert, someone who keeps to themselves. “S” is for sensing, meaning you use common sense. “T” is for thinking, meaning you use your intellect. Finally, “J” is judging, which is making a
The Myers-Briggs Type indicator is an instrument designed to measure the elements of Jungian personality theory and makes the theory of psychological type both understandable and highly practical by helping individuals identify their preferences in four areas. According to the MBTI, I have a moderate preference for Introversion, a clear preference for Sensing, a slight preference for Feeling, and a clear preference for Judging (ISFJ). In general, ISFJs are sympathetic, loyal, considerate, conscientious, and will go through any amount of trouble to help those in need (Hirsh&Kummerow,1989).
