A Brief Introduction to MBTI You Should Know

MBTI is an abbreviation for Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, a personality type assessment that classifies people into 16 types based on their preferred cognitive styles. These types consist of four pairs of opposing personality traits (E-I, S-N, T-F, J-P).

• E (Extraversion) or I (Introversion): distinguishes extroverted and introverted personality types.
• S (Sensing) or N (Intuition): distinguishes sensing and intuitive personality types.
• T (Thinking) or F (Feeling): distinguishes analytical and rational personality types from emotional and empathetic personality types.
• J (Judging) or P (Perceiving): distinguishes planful and organized personality types from adaptable and spontaneous personality types.

The MBTI test indicates an individual's preferred direction for each of these personality traits through a multiple-choice questionnaire, which determines one of the 16 personality types. This type can help describe an individual's personality, behavior, and communication style.

However, the MBTI does not encompass a person's entire personality, and it is a scientifically unvalidated test that has received criticism. Therefore, the results of the MBTI should be used as a reference material to help understand a person's characteristics.
