MBTI

The MBTI assesses personality based on four dichotomies, each representing a continuum between two opposite traits. These dichotomies are:

1. Extraversion (E) vs. Introversion (I):

• Extraversion Preference for drawing energy from the external world of people, activities, and things.

• Introversion Preference for drawing energy from one’s internal world of ideas, emotions, and impressions.

2. Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N):

• Sensing: Preference for focusing on information taken in through the five senses and on practical, real-world data.

• Intuition: Preference for focusing on patterns, possibilities, and abstract information.

3. Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F):

• Thinking: Preference for making decisions based on logical analysis and objective criteria.

• Feeling: Preference for making decisions based on personal values and the impact on others.

4. Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P):

• Judging: Preference for a structured, decided, and organized approach to life.

• Perceiving: Preference for a flexible, adaptable, and spontaneous approach to life.
