Personality Test

This test is an introspective self-report questionnaire with the purpose of indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world around them and make decisions.

This kind of test was constructed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers.

It is based on the conceptual theory proposed by Carl Jung, who had speculated that humans experience the world using four principal psychological functions (sensation, intuition, feeling, thinking) and that one of these four functions is dominant for a person most of the time.

The theory of personality types contends that: An individual is either primarily Extraverted(E) or Introverted(I), either primarily Sensing(S) or Intuitive(N), either primarily Thinking(T) or Feeling(F), either primarily Judging(J) or Perceiving(P).

The possible combinations of the basic preferences form 16 different Personality Types.

Learning about our personality type helps us to understand why certain areas in life come easily to us, and others are more of a struggle.

Learning about other people’s personality types help us to understand the most effective way to communicate with them, and how they function best.

Practical Use

The knowledge of our and other people’s personality types help us in different areas:

Career - What types of tasks are we most suited to perform? Where are we naturally most happy?

Managing Employees - How can we best understand an employee’s natural capabilities, and where they will find the most satisfaction?

Interpersonal Relationships - How can we improve our awareness of other individuals personality type, and therefore increase our understanding of their reactions to situations, and know how to communicate with them effectively, on a level they best understand?

Education - How can we develop different teaching methods to educate different types of people effectively?

Counseling - How we can help individuals understand themselves better, and become better able to deal with their strengths and weaknesses?

这项测试是一种内省型自我报告调查表，目的在于表明人们在如何看待周围世界并做出决定方面的心理偏好不同。

这类测试是由 Katharine Cook Briggs 和她的女儿 Isabel Briggs Myers 构建的。

它是基于 Carl Jung 提出的概念理论，他推测人类使用四种主要的心理功能（感觉，直觉，感觉，思考）来体验世界，并且这四种功能中的一种是主要的。对于大多数人来说

人格类型理论认为：一个人主要是外向的（E）或性格内向的（I），主要是感觉的（S）或直觉的（N），主要是思维的（T）或感觉的（F），主要是判断（J）或感知（P）。

基本首选项的可能组合形成16种不同的个性类型。

了解我们的人格类型可帮助我们理解为什么生活中的某些领域对我们来说很容易实现，而其他领域则更加艰难。

了解其他人的性格有助于我们了解与他人交流的最有效方式以及他们如何发挥最佳作用。

实际用途

对我们和其他人的性格类型的了解可在不同领域为我们提供帮助：
