What's Your Personality Type?

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a self-assessment tool that helps you understand how you see the world and make decisions. It looks at four areas: where you get your mental energy, how you process information, your decision-making style, and your preference for structure. Each area has two opposite forces. Wondering if it really works? Give it a try and see for yourself!

In each of these areas, there are two options to choose from: extroversion or introversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving. When you combine these choices, you get 16 different personality types.

Discover Your Type

Before We Start The Test Remember These Three Things:

• People's traits fall on a spectrum, so you might be somewhere in the middle of two extremes and get different results if you take the test again later.

• The MBTI looks at preferences, not definitive traits. For example, if you prefer extraversion over introversion, it doesn't necessarily mean you are an extrovert; you just like that personality type more.

• Don't take the results too seriously; it's just a tool to help you understand yourself better.

The Origins Of MBTI

Katharine Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers, developed the original MBTI by building on Carl Jung's important 1921 theory about different personality types. The MBTI has since become widely used in various settings, including workplaces, schools, and personal development programs.
