Myers Briggs Theory Indicator acts as a useful reference to help you understand your unique personality. There are 16 different personality types in Myers Briggs. The four main pairs of your personality type are Introverted and Extroverted, Sensing and Intuitive, Thinking and Feeling and Judgment and Perception. After completing my test, my responses indicated I am an: ISTJ which is Introverted, Sensing, Thinking and Judgement.
The best way to communicate with an Introvert is giving them time to reflect, as extroverts like to talk it out with other people introverts like to think before speaking. Introverts are usually hard to get to know because they don’t like to tell you everything the first day they meet you, they will gradually open up. People who are Sensing like to have a clear topic with step-by-step instructions. Thinkers are always organized and logical, thinkers also don’t like to talk about their feelings, they usually get mad if people ask “how do you feel” because it’s very hard for them to show emotion because they always screen it out. People with Judging types are always on time and prepared and get mad when other people aren’t, they love agendas because their life is always scheduled and don’t do good with flexible schedules. Some of the conflicts or miscommunications I’ve had with people who aren’t the same personality types as me are usually people with Feeling instead of Thinking. People who show emotion and put all of your emotion on you usually stress me out and makes me want to leave the situation. Since I’m a Thinker I always push away emotion. I don’t do well with other people showing me emotion. When people I’m around show emotion it can sometimes cause conflict because I don’t do good in those situations. I could respond differently to people with Feeling by trying to get myself to feel the emotion they are feeling. Below is a picture of all the traits ISTJ has and also a link that shows the most effective communication strategies for different personality types. I have had many “aha” moments learning about Myers Briggs because I find these things very interesting in learning about my personality and how I act and why I make the choices I do. ISTJ is exactly me and I think that’s the coolest part about this. I will be using this information about the 16 personality types when mentoring this semester because I will be working with a lot of different people who have different personality types and learning and understanding why people think and act accordingly.
