Is based on 16 distinctly different personality types

THE WAY WE GET OUR ENERGY
EXTRAVERSION Energized by people and things Tend to think out loud Live it, then understand it Are sometimes easier to “read” and know Communicate with enthusiasm Prefer learning and doing a lot of different things
INTROVERSION Energized by spending time alone Think through internally Understand it, before living it Are more private; share personal information with a select few Keep their enthusiasm to themselves Prefer learning and doing only a few things, but with more depth

SENSING Trust what is certain and concrete Like ideas that have practical applications Value realism and common sense Tend to be specific and literal; give detailed descriptions Live in the present
INTUITION Trust their instincts Like ideas for their own sake Value imagination and innovation Tend to be general and figurative; use metaphors and analogies Live in the future
Thinking & Feeling The way we make decisions
THINKING Value logic and fairness Apply impersonal analysis to problems Are motivated by a desire for achievement and accomplishment May be seen as critical, insensitive, or uncaring
FEELING Value empathy and harmony Consider the effect the decision will have on others Are motivated by a desire to be appreciated and liked May be seen as illogical, emotional, or weak
