I’ve been reading a bit about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) as a form of understanding my personality. I understand myself pretty well, but I was curious about how I could be classified. The Wikipedia page on MBTI is a good introduction, but it’s not completely clear what each of the classifications mean. I found this page to be much more descriptive and I can classify myself as a INTJ.
The first letter stands for whether you are Extravertive or Introvertive. The second letter determines how you perceive things, either through Sensing or iNtuition. The third describes whether your form judgements through Thinking or Feeling and the finally letter determines whether your attitude is Judgemental or Perceiving. Note that there are specific definitions for these words with respect to MBTI that are slightly different from the regular definitions.
Initially for some of the types, I couldn’t pick one or the other. But further reading the characteristics, I’m not confident that I do belong to the particular classification. I won’t go into how I reached my classification, but it’s an interesting exercise I recommend.
