Personality Types

Resource: http://www.personalitypathways.com/type_inventory.html

There have been ways to organize and build personality types. One of these ways is utilized by the Meyers Briggs Personality Test. It is called the Cognitive Style Inventory. They are a combination of four letter which create one type of personality, there are sixteen types of personality. One of the letter is Extraverted (E) vs Introverted (I). Extraverted is getting stimulus or energy from outside activities such as socializing, and Introverted is the opposite where getting energy is from one's ideas or thoughts. The second pair of choices is Sensing (S) vs Intuitive (N). Sensing is knowing what is there, and Intuitive is trying to understand why is it there. Basically sensing is taking it in and intuitive is an understanding trait. The third pair of letters is Thinking (T) vs Feeling (F). Thinking is when the part of us wants to deduce and use reason rather than feeling where our opinions and impacts from others may be used to make the decision. The last pair of letters is the Judging (J) vs Perceiving (P). Judging is a person who will more likely stay with a plan and stick to a hard schedule while the perceiving will be able to improvise or change or make something a long the way.

I found this website very interesting. Not only am I a fanatic about personality, but it interests me to see that personality can be organized. This knowledge may help someone get to the correct career for them. This can utilized to find a way to look for one's ups and downs, and then he or she can take advantage of a job where it will be easier for them. It can also be helpful for pointing who can be compatible, even just as friends and tell us why it seems like there the worst enemies of all time. Overall it can very interesting to know your personality.
