Myers-Briggs Self Report

Self-Reflection-Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

The Myers Briggs Type Indicator was an ample way to learn my preferences and who I am, and the type of people that I would surround myself with. The Indicator breaks down the four areas of function into the Extraversion and Introversion, Sensing and Intuition, Thinking and Feeling, and Judging and Perceiving each one being contrary to the other.

The extroverted and introverted scale is where people’s energy comes from. Extroverted types get their energy from the outer world of people, where the introvert receives their energy from their inner self. The all around personality of the Extrovert are social spontaneous people. They learn better by hands-on activity, they tend to be faster, and dislike complicated procedures; they also have interpersonal skills, write without using an outline, and can’t stand not knowing what’s going on. The Introvert is just the opposite. They are normally hesitant, and they think before they speak, they’re not always confident, and unlike the Extrovert they have fewer relationships but tend to have closer bonds. They like lectures, tend to be careful with details, are below average in public speaking, and enjoy doing things in small groups (Effects worksheet).

To experiment on the first scales, one of the first activities that we did was plan a party. Because I myself am an Introvert, my group wanted to invite close friends, limited to only a few people. We came up with the decision that we would also want a relaxed atmosphere, and we would make sure that the mood of the room was set. When we got back together to discuss the other group’s parties, the extroverted group wanted a more outgoing party. They wanted to invite all of there friends, and anybody who wanted to come. They would play tons of games, have lots of decorations, and plenty of food. This activity showed us exactly how Introverts and Extroverts differ.
