Myers–Briggs Type Indicator: What’s Your Personality Type?

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is an introspective self-assessment that evaluates how we perceive the world and make decisions. It measures our preferences in 4 domains: mental energy sources, information processing, decision-making approaches, and structure needs, each with two opposing forces. But is it accurate? Try it and find out for yourself!

I am ENTP, and I think the MBTI system should be treated with scientific skepticism, with enough studies to be researched before actually trying to self-assess your personality type. Unfortunately, the popularity of the MBTI system made it too mainstream, and many unenlightened minds lowered all the complexity of this system to the level of vague practices like astrology or mysticism.

[johndoh]

I've always had an issue with the dichotomy of introversion and extraversion because I don't think they're mutually exclusive. I personally have a bias towards introversion, but I've enjoyed long conversations with many different people and I've gained so much ernergyfrom being around others, yet I still would say I'm more introverted.

[ronwalker]

The criticisms I see may be technically valid, but MBTI seems a very useful intro to understanding. Recently discovered it, and seeing snippets of types, guessed I'm probably an INTJ. So I took the test and got ENFP. Very surprising, eye opening, and further contemplation confirmed that I think and respond quite differently than I pictured. Helped me understand a lot looking back on my life. Who we are, how we see ourselves, how others see us, are three different people.

ENTP here. After many decades of struggling to understand my place or value in the world, friends introduced me to the MBTI system about 14 years ago. It was a revelation, because by learning that my personality was described meant that it was recognised, and I was not alone. I learned that I was not abnormal, but part of a common group. It was amazing.

I understand now that mainstream psychology is more comfortable with the similar Jungian OCEAN model.

I went from INTP to INTJ to ENTJ in two years

[truthsurfer]

Wow, this test nailed it. I came up as ISTP which describes EXACTLY what I do and enjoy as a mechanical engineer in my career. Very neat and reassuring that I'm in a profession that matches my personality type according to this test.

[friedaholmes]

I started out as the INFJ=Defender Then, I took the test later and was considered to be a Scientist=INTJ. I relate more with the INFJ character type. Overall, I am hands down an introvert. I like people sometimes. I definitely prefer to adhere to my personal compass over the collective herd mentality. So with that, I am a pretty good at perceiving. Though I know how to hand down judgement separating the wheat from the shaft with precision. I consider myself to also be a thinker and a feeler. There should be a happy medium. All the acquired knowledge over time doesn't always maintain accuracy. "Brains only get you but so far and Luck always runs out." Thanks. Mystic Star Seed 777

As an INFJ... my body is here but me soul is outside from this world...
my physical body is a cage (doesn't means i hate my body, i know is temporary while on earth)
everything had a pin with a point and i will searching for the detailed information.
Marinated my brain with knowledge where ever i read it or heard it, word and speech matter to my inner soul, it vibrate my sensitive soul.

[Floral_skies]

I’m an infp 💞 (actually though, like it’s eerily accurate for me at least)

[cylian]

It;'s a shame to see nothing about congnitive functions on which MBTI is based

[StepIntoGodsLight]

INFJ here...this was spot on me....I took the test and that is what I got.

[ADcrackerjack]

As a psychology student, I really like these videos.

[albertolucea-jtdr]

Excellent graphical presentation! Concise, brief and accurate.

I took this course for leadership at York university.. this is a good tool for industry to use to help with understanding of individuals in a production arena

The MBTI is regarded as pseudoscience by the scientific community.
My favorite quote regarding the MBTI is: "Most personality psychologists regard the MBTI as little more than an elaborate Chinese fortune cookie."

Your vedios have perfect description, it's answer is exactly what I found on my personality type test....

[RainaRex]

I never knew what the Myers–Briggs type thing was, until now. Thanks, now I know. Also, I'm an ISTJ. Makes sense. :)

[brendamorales]

I am INTJ and I agree with the characteristics but, certainly, I have some characteristics of other groups. Interesting.
