16 Mbti Personality Test

[Santi Dubrova]

Personalitytyping is a way of categorizing people according to their tendencies to think and act in particular ways. The most popular system of personality typing was developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Briggs, in the 1960's. Myers and Briggs proposed using four key dichotomies to differentiate people: Introversion vs. Extraversion, Sensing vs. Intuition, Thinking vs. Feeling, and Judging vs. Perceiving.

Myers and Briggs built on the theories of psychiatrist Dr. Carl Jung, developing one of the world's most popular personality assessments, the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Although the MBTI assessment is often considered the "official" personality type test, newer assessments have built and expanded on the theory, including the highly accurate and validated TypeFinder assessment published by Truity.

MBTI stands for Myers Briggs Type Indicator, a personality assessment developed by mother-daughter team Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers, and based on the work of psychiatrist Dr. Carl Jung. The MBTI assessment measures four personality dimensions and describes people in terms of a four-letter code, or personality type, such as INFJ or ESTP. The MBTI assessment is published by the Myers-Briggs Company, in both paper and online formats.

The MBTI assessment is often considered the most well-known and popular personality test in the world, and is used in corporations and organizations, as well as schools and clinical settings. It can be helpful in a wide range of applications. In the workplace, it is used to highlight individual differences so that employees can be better aware of their strengths and weaknesses and more conscious of different communication and conflict styles. For individuals, it can be used to identify areas of natural talent in order to pick an appropriate career, or simply for general self-exploration and growth. Whatever the setting, Myers and Briggs intended their creation to help people understand themselves better so that they could make choices that suited their personalities, and so that they could appreciate the unique gifts of others.

The MBTI assessment is often deemed the "official" personality type test, as it is the instrument created by Myers and Briggs themselves. However, since Myers and Briggs developed their theory in the 1960's, many other tests and quizzes have been created based on their ideas. Some of these have been created by hobbyists with little training and should be considered "just for fun." Other assessments have been developed to professional standards and can be considered comparably reliable and valid, such as the TypeFinder published by Truity.

Myers and Briggs' theory of personality type is based on classifying individual differences into four personality dichotomies. These dichotomies describe how our energy level is affected by our environment, how we take in information, how we make decisions, and how we organize our world. Your personality type is made up of your preferences in each of these four areas, with sixteen possible types. Each type is represented by four letters, one letter for each preference:

Once you have decided which style you prefer on each of the four dichotomies, you use these four preferences to create a four letter code which sums up your personality type. For example, someone with a preference for Introversion, Intuition, Feeling and Judging would have the code INFJ" (an Intuition preference is signified with an N to avoid confusion with Introversion). There are 16 possible combinations, or personality types.

Within Myers and Briggs' personality theory, your personality type code provides a shorthand for understanding the most important parts of your personality, and what makes you the way you are. It gives you a cohesive system for seeing how you differ from others in fundamental ways, and how to understand what makes you, you.

Myers and Briggs created in-depth profiles of each of the 16 personality types, exploring how the four personality preferences manifested in real life as well as how the preferences combined to create unique patterns of thought and behavior. In her book Gifts Differing, Isabel Briggs Myers stressed that each personality type was more than the sum of its parts, and her descriptions of each type were intended to explain how all four of the personality preferences came together to interact, synergize, and form a cohesive type.

This approach gives Myers and Briggs' personality type descriptions the advantage of showing us how to conceptualize various combinations of personality traits, rather than simply understanding each trait in isolation. For instance, Myers' work helps us to grasp the holistic differences between someone who is extraverted, kind and compassionate, and a similarly extraverted person who is more logical and emotionally detached.

A. If you asked Isabel Briggs Myers and Katherine Briggs (the creators of the 16 personality types) or Carl Jung (the psychologist whose theories Briggs and Myers studied), they would say no, a person's personality type does not change over time. However, personality psychologists who study large populations have found that shifts in personality do occur over time. Research shows that age and individual life experiences can cause a shift in your personality. However, drastic shifts in personality are unusual, and most people find that changes are small and gradual.

A. The MBTI is the original assessment developed by Isabel Myers and Katharine Briggs. The TypeFinder is based on Myers and Briggs' theory, but is not the same as the MBTI assessment. Some key differences:

The end result means that you'll understand yourself a little better so you can make a career choice that best fits your personality.

I'm still a novice at Storyline and need some help. I'm developing a short MBTI personality test and need some help to get the final results after the learners choose their answers. I use variables to capture the learners' inputs but somehow it doesn't work and I think I may have done it incorrectly.

Firstly the sequence of triggers matter - you had the SHOW NEXT SLIDE trigger before the ADD +1 TO VARIABLE. Typically this means the Next Slide will be shown and +1 isn't done (because you are already on the next slide).

The elegant solution would be add the +1 code to the layer but I'm lazy so I just rearranged and deleted elements so you are still able to click the image on the base layer to activate the triggers even when another layer is displayed

And finally (for testing) I added the variables on the results screen - a useful trick when developing so you can check to ensure your variables are being calculated correctly (obs you delete it when you are ready to publish)

I set Megan's source file away to download earlier (took an hour!) and came back to have a look at this issue. Wish I'd checked in here before I debugged everything as I see that Kevin has already solved the problem! Good work Kevin, and I agree that sitting through the intro slide several times when testing also had me screaming for a next button.
