Tell me all about the Myers Briggs test?

Question

What will this test tell you about yourself? How long does it take? How can I take it? Could this test say something about my intellegence, or my lack of mental stablity?

Answer 1

Also called the MBTI. Go to their official site: http://www.myersbriggs.org to learn all about the personality types

There are four main areas rated:

Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I)
Sensing (S) or Intuitive (N)
Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)

In MBTI lingo, the results of an individual's preference might be "ESTJ" or "INFP". There are 16 distinct "types" i.e. combinations of these letters. There are tons of studies and resources for discovering how each preference prefers to interact with the world. Search the web.

While officially the MBTI must be administered by a trained professional facilitator (I used to be one and the certification foused on test administration and espeially on debriefing people to understand their preferences under ertain situations (stress, needs, etc) so people understand how to use this knowledge to their advantage. There is NO RIGHT or WRONG type, just personality preferences.

You can go to this unofficial site to take a simulated MBTI.

Answer 2

It's not in any way an aptitude test so won't indicate what field you should work in etc. it's essentially a personality inventory that reflects back to you your preferred approach and method of operating in different areas of your life.

In my opinion, it's most useful application is in learning more about how you are likely to interact with and react to other MBTI types. Can be great for looking at team issues and understanding why people can experience conflict.

Answer 3

It basically tells you how you operate and what type of field you would work best in. You can take the test online. The Kiersay test is also useful. It will not reflect on your intelligence or lack of mental stability (unless maybe you have trouble taking it).

Answer 4

INTJ - i'm a pacesetter who has the skill to learn a deeper awareness for complicated innovations and is in a position to place across those innovations in a fashion that maximum folk can understand. i p.c. archives to help my judgements and my emotions many times do no longer play into them. i'm low key, quiet and calm lots of the time. i think of lots and from time to time i've got self belief my strategies shifting so quickly in my head, they spin like a tornado in my experience of right and incorrect. this is genuinely me. And only such as you, each and every time I take the attempt, the outcomes are the comparable.
