Briggs Myers Personality Type

The Briggs Myers four personality trait dimensions are one way to categorize the personality types of different people. According to Briggs and Myers, there are four categories in which your personality type is determined. Each category has two options: Introversion versus extraversion, sensing versus intuition, thinking versus feeling, and judging versus perceiving. First I will focus on the “introvert versus extrovert” category. An introverted person is typically more focused on their inner world and they prefer focusing in depth on specific interests. Writing tends to be the preferred method of communication for an introvert. They may also be more private and enjoy reflecting on ideas. An extrovert, on the other hand, is more attuned to
Unlike classical conditioning, operant conditioning is voluntary. There are four types of operant conditioning: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, time-out, and punishment. To become a balanced individual, it is important that we do not let any of our personality traits become skewed too far to one side. For example, my strongest personality trait in thinking, which is at thirty-eight percent. I could use operant conditioning to make myself more balanced between thinking and feeling. Using positive reinforcement, I could try to become more compassionate towards others, which would be my initial response, or R. The initial response would lead to the positive response of making others feel good, which would be the unconditioned stimulus. My unconditioned response would be to continue being more compassionate towards others because it makes them feel good. An example of negative reinforcement would be to start with my initial response, or R, as thinking less analytically. This would lead to a decrease in stress from always thinking analytically, which is my unconditioned stimulus. The decrease in stress would lead me to increase my less analytical thinking, which would be my unconditioned response. An example of time-out would start with the initial response, or R, of being tough-minded. This tough-mindedness would lead to the negative response of losing friends, which is the unconditioned stimulus. My loss of friends would lead to a decrease in my tough-minded behavior, which is the unconditioned response. The last type of operant conditioning is punishment. An example of using punishment to become more balanced would be to start with in initial response, or R, as only thinking reasonably and having no compassion when a friend tells me a problem they are having. This would result in the unconditioned stimulus of my friend yelling at me. My unconditioned response to this situation would be to decrease my
