MBTI analysis
My observations, personal learning and action points arising from my analysis of MBTI.
Introduction
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 extracted from the typological theories proposed by Carl Gustav Jung writings in his book 'Psychological Types '. The MBTI focuses on normal populations and emphasizes the value of naturally occurring differences. Also recognized commonly as a behavioral assessment tool, the MBTI uses a combination of 4 letters and each represent a clearly defined attribute. Altogether, the MBTI test consists of 16 different personality types that will describe one’s personality in alleged detail.
My Result
The MBTI test has reviewed that I am type ENFP which covers aspects of being extraverted, intuitive, feeling and perceiving altogether but in different extents. David Keirsey referred to ENFPs as Champions, one of the four types belonging to the temperament he called the Idealists. ENFPs account for about 2–8% of the population. From my study I found that ENFPs are initiators of change, keenly perceptive of possibilities. They energize and stimulate others through their contagious enthusiasm. They prefer the start-up phase of a project or relationship, and are tireless in the pursuit of new-found interests. They are not afraid to speak up and defend what they think is right and correct, just, or fair. They are full of energy and can spend great amounts of time discussing ideas and possibilities with others. Linda V. Berens also suggested some shadow functions and for ENFPs these are: Introverted intuition (Ni), Extraverted feeling (Fe), Introverted thinking (Ti) and Extraverted sensing (Se).
Observations
I have to admit that while reading the results and review of my personality type; it felt like a strong confirmation of how I evaluate myself. Most of the traits
