MBTI What?

 The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality inventory is to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and useful in people’s lives. The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random variation in the behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent, being due to basic differences in the ways individuals prefer to use their perception and judgment. 
-Isabel Myers
 

What I learned about myself through the MBTI is that I focus my attention on the outer world of people and things.  This is called extraversion.  I take in information through the five senses, with a focus on the here and now.  I like to make my decsisions mostly on the basis of logic and objective analysis.  When it comes to dealing with the world throught either judging or perceiving I like to judge what I am doing. Taking a planned and oraganized approach to life.  These qualities all relate to my goals in the fact that this is the way I am going to learn and how I want to set my goals for the future.  A couple things surprised me about my MBTI test was the fact how percise it is.  Another thing that surprised me was the fact that it can take you through a small series of questions to figure out what personality type you are.  It makes me be better informed how I perform in my everyday life.  It will help with my scholastic studies as well.  Some of the the aspects of my personality I had not thought about were how I think.  Whether it was though analysis or logic, it made me aware on how I really think of things.   


Thank you for your time
