My Personality Type
My Personality Type
What’s the real personality of mine? I never used to know. So these two days, I did some research about it. Finally, I found a authoritative personality assessment system---MBTI. Then, I knew I’m the INTP type, after taking the assessment.
Let me introduce the MBTI assessment first.
The MBTI assessment was developed from the work of prominent psychiatrist Carl G. Jung in his book Psychological Types. Jung proposed a psychological typology based on the theories of cognitive functions that he developed through his clinical observations.
The MBTI preferences indicate the differences in people based on the following: * How they focus their attention or get their energy (extraversion or introversion) * How they perceive or take in information (sensing or intuition) * How they prefer to make decisions (thinking or feeling)
How they orient themselves to the external world (judgment or perception) INTP (Introversion, iNtuition, Thinking, Perception) is an abbreviation used in the publications of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to refer to one of sixteen personality types.
By using their preference in each of these areas, people develop what Jung and Myers called psychological type. This underlying personality pattern results from the dynamic interaction of their four preferences, in conjunction with environmental influences and their own individual tendencies. People are likely to develop behaviors, skills, and attitudes based on their particular type. Each personality type has its own potential strengths as well as areas that offer opportunities for growth.
What’s the personality of the INTPs like? * I – Introversion preferred to extraversion: INTPs tend to be quiet and reserved. They generally prefer interacting with a few close friends rather than a wide circle of acquaintances, and they expend energy in social situations (whereas extraverts gain energy). * N – iNtuition preferred to sensing: INTPs tend to be more
