    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

    Relationship of Self-Assessment with Career Choice


    The Myers-Briggs Type describes a person’s preferences on four continuums. Your Type is identified by four letters indicating your
    preference for Extraversion or Introversion (E or I), Sensing or Intuitive (S or N), Thinking or Feeling (T or F), and Judging or Perceiving
    (J or P).
    Extraversion and Introversion indicate how you interact with the world and where you direct your energy.
    Sensing and Intuition indicate what kind of information you naturally notice and remember.
    Thinking and Feeling indicate whether you make decisions logically and impersonally or by using personal values.
    Judging and Perceiving indicate the way you like to live your life: more structured (making decisions) or more spontaneous (taking in
    information).

    Read the paired statements and choose the one you agree with the strongest. Mark your choice with an X.
    Count the number of Xs marked in each column. The higher number of the paired items indicates your preferred type.

    Flexing your style


    Your Myers-Briggs Type reflects your preferred style for interacting with the world. The numbers give you an
    indication of how easy it is to flex your style to match the style of others including your co-workers and boss.
    For example: if your numbers are Extroverted 3 and Introverted 4, it will be easier for you to flex your style to
    match the Type of others. If your numbers are 0 Extroverted and 7 Introverted, it will be more challenging for
    you to change your style to match the extroverted style of others.

    See textbook and lecture slides for additional information about MBTI and preferred methods of
    communication.
