In the 1960's a psychological theorist named Katharine Briggs had many of the same 質問 あなた do. She wondered why some of her family members had such logical, linear thinking processes, when she herself was もっと見る likely to take values and feelings into account when considering an issue. In her research with her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers, she looked into this 質問 and others, and discovered four central aspects of personality. Each one of us can be classified as either:
• Extroverted/Introverted-Do あなた get your energy from being with people, または being alone?
• Sensing/Intuitive-Do あなた see what's actual, または what's possible?
• Thinking/Feeling-Do あなた make decisions with your head または your heart?
• Judging/Perceiving-Do あなた like to make decisions, または keep your options open?
Our classifications on each of the scales is combined to make a four-letter type, for instance, ENTP, または ISFJ. There are sixteen types in all, encompassing all possible combinations.
With so many possibilities, あなた can imagine how much potential for misunderstanding there is with those around us! If we marry, または parent, または even work with someone who is very different from us, we can become increasingly baffled as to how their minds work. The key to unlocking the mystery and understanding those around us is to first understand yourself.
Where do あなた think あなた fall on the scales listed above? It can be difficult to decide, but fortunately the creators of this theory have also created a scientifically validated assessment that can tell あなた where あなた fall. This personality test is called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and is the most accurate and efficient way to identify your own type. Most recently it has become available in an online format, which allows convenient access to anyone wishing to discover もっと見る about themselves. The official Myers-Briggs Type Indicator can be used to produce several different types of reports, from basic to detailed, all of which あなた can refer to as あなた learn もっと見る about your own Type.
Once あなた have discovered your Type, あなた can begin to think about how others may differ. If あなた are an extrovert, あなた may be surprised when others want to leave a social gathering または end a conversation before あなた do. It doesn't mean they're unfriendly または not having a good time; it's just that introverts rely on their alone time to recharge. As another example, if you're a Thinker, あなた may mistrust people who seem to make decisions based on their "gut" または their feelings rather than logic. But turn this around and you'll realize that your own decisions may seem cold and uncaring to someone who is a Feeling type. There is no right または wrong; only individual preferences.
The world is made up of many types, and this is for the best! We need people who are gregarious, and those that are content to live much of their lives independently. We need visionaries with their heads in the clouds, and people who will take care of all the details. We need planners, and people who fly によって the シート, 座席 of their pants; when making decisions we need both someone to remind us of the logic of the situation and someone to help us do a "gut check." Learning もっと見る about personality types can help あなた appreciate all the variation you'll see around you. Most importantly, it will help あなた use your differences to everyone's benefit.
