MBTI PERSONALITY TYPE TEST

February 26, 2022 Ross Reinhold Your Personality Type 9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


WHAT IS YOUR MYERS-BRIGGS PERSONALITY TYPE?



And what do all those cryptic MBTI code letters mean?

Our 4 question free online Myers Briggs Personality Test* (i.e. Cognitive Style
Inventory) will help you determine the letters of your MBTI or to assist in
verifying your Myers Briggs personality type score. *

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


THE MBTI TEST & THE COGNITIVE STYLE INVENTORY OF PERSONALITY TYPE

This modest self-scoring inventory is Not a substitute for taking an in-person
MBTI ® from an experienced MBTI administrator. It is a tool I developed to
introduce my clients to personality type or psychological type and to help
validate the results I received from administering the MBTI ® personality
assessment. I hope it whets your appetite for learning more about the Myers and
Briggs model of personality development and its message of increased
self-understanding and understanding of others and our “differing gifts.”

The Style Inventory will allow you to approximate what are your MBTI Type
preferences. After determining your 4 MBTI Type letters, you can jump to a
number of links we have provided to help you get acquainted with the
characteristics and indicators of the 16 types and verify if your type, as
determined by this assessment, seems to “fit” or not.

—COPYRIGHT NOTICE © As the Cognitive Style Inventory is intended to be used on
the Internet, linking to this page is permitted. However, copying or reproducing
this inventory, in whole or part, is prohibited without the express permission
of the author.

ADVICE ON TAKING PERSONALITY TESTS

Determining one’s natural Myers Briggs Personality Type is frequently
complicated by our life-long learning experiences. The classic question is: “Am
I this way because I learned it or is this just the way I am?”

In reviewing the comparisons in our personality assessment, you may find
yourself drawn equally to opposing personality preference choices. In such cases
I suggest you try to think back to how you were before the age of 14 or even
younger if you can recall. The rationale for this suggestion is the fact that by
the time we are 3 years old, the core of our cognitive organization is
well-fixed. . . although the brain continues to allow some plasticity into
puberty and in some cases throughout life.

After the onset of puberty, our adult learning begins to overlay our core
personality – which is when the blending of nature and nurture becomes more
evident. For some people, this “learning” serves to strengthen what is already
there, but with others it produces multiple faces to personality. Discovering or
rediscovering this innate core of yourself is part of the journey of using
personality types to enrich your life.


TAKING THE MYERS BRIGGS COGNITIVE STYLE INVENTORY

Each of the four questions of the CSI inventory has two parts. The first part is
a general description of the preference choices. The second part is a list of
paired statements. Use both parts to form your opinion on your more dominant
preference.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q1.
Which is your most natural source of Mental Energy?

Every person has two faces. One is directed towards the OUTER (E) world of
activities, excitements, people, and things. The other is directed inward to the
INNER (I) world of thoughts, interests, ideas, and imagination.

While these are two different but complementary sides of our nature, most people
have an innate preference towards energy from either the OUTER or the INNER
world. Thus one of their faces, either the Extraverted (E) or Introverted (I),
takes the lead in their personality development and plays a more dominant role
in their behavior.

Introverted Characteristics

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q2.
Which way of Perceiving or Understanding is most “automatic” or natural?

The Sensing (S) side of our mind notices the sights, sounds, smells and all the
sensory details of the PRESENT. It categorizes, organizes, records and stores
the specifics from the here and now. It is REALITY based, dealing with “what
is.” It also provides the specific details of memory & recollections from PAST
events.

The Intuitive (N) side of our mind seeks to understand, interpret and form
OVERALL patterns of all the information that is collected and records these
patterns and relationships. It speculates on POSSIBILITIES, including looking
into and forecasting the FUTURE. It is imaginative and conceptual.

While both kinds of perceiving are necessary and used by all people, each of us
instinctively tends to favor one over the other.

iNtuitive Characteristics

Sensing (S) iNtuition (N)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q3.
Which way of forming Judgments and Making Choices is most natural?

The Thinking (T) side of our mind analyzes information in a DETACHED, objective
fashion. It operates from factual principles, deduces and forms conclusions
systematically. It is our logical nature.

The Feeling (F) side of our mind forms conclusions in an ATTACHED and somewhat
global manner, based on likes/dislikes, impact on others, and human and
aesthetic values. It is our subjective nature.

While everyone uses both means of forming conclusions, each person has a natural
bias towards one over the other so that when they give us conflicting directions
– one side is the natural trump card or tiebreaker.

Feeling Characteristics
Click the box below:



Choose which best fits:

Thinking (T) Feeling (F)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q4.
What is your “Action Orientation” towards the outside world?

All people use both judging (thinking and feeling) and perceiving (sensing and
intuition) processes to store information, organize our thoughts, make
decisions, take actions and manage our lives. Yet one of these processes
(Judging or Perceiving) tends to take the lead in our relationship with the
outside world . . . while the other governs our inner world.

A Judging (J) style approaches the outside world WITH A PLAN and is oriented
towards organizing one’s surroundings, being prepared, making decisions and
reaching closure and completion.

A Perceiving (P) style takes the outside world AS IT COMES and is adopting and
adapting, flexible, open-ended and receptive to new opportunities and changing
game plans.
