Myers-Briggs Personality

I'm sure everyone has heard of the Myers-Briggs Personality Test. You know, the one where you answer a set of questions and they tell you what kind of personality you have? (Of course, that tends to be the typical set-up for most personality tests.) This specific test takes the answers participants put in, and give them four letters, with each signifying a different dichotomy.

The first dichotomy is extroversion/introversion, which relates to one's attitude. For extroverts, their flow is directed outward toward people and objects, whereas the introvert's is directed inward toward concepts and ideas.

The second dichotomy is perceiving function (sensation/intuition). People who prefer sensing like tangible, concrete information that can be understood by using the five senses. People who prefer intuition trust information that can be associated with information other than that which can be interpreted by the five senses.

The third dichotomy is judging function (thinking/feeling). This function is used to make rational decisions. Those who prefer thinking prefer to decide things from a more detached standpoint. Those who prefer feeling come to decisions by associating or empathizing with the situation.

The fourth dichotomy is lifestyle preference (judging/perception). This relates to whether or not a person has a preference to use their judging function (thinking or feeling) or their perceiving function (sensing/intuition) when relating with the outside world.

There are 16 combinations creating 16 personality types. My personality as assessed by the test was ENFJ.
