The MBTI is designed to identify an individual’s personality type based on four key dichotomies: extraversion (E) vs. introversion (I), sensing (S) vs. intuition (N), thinking (T) vs. feeling (F), and judging (J) vs. perceiving (P). These dichotomies represent opposite ends of a spectrum, and individuals are scored on each dichotomy based on their responses to a series of questions.
The extraversion vs. introversion dichotomy refers to an individual’s preference for either outgoing, social behavior (extraversion) or more introspective, reflective behavior (introversion). Sensing vs. intuition refers to an individual’s preference for either practical, concrete information (sensing) or more abstract, conceptual information (intuition). Thinking vs. feeling refers to an individual’s preference for either logical, analytical decision-making (thinking) or more empathetic, values-based decision-making (feeling). Finally, judging vs. perceiving refers to an individual’s preference for either structured, organized behavior (judging) or more spontaneous, adaptable behavior (perceiving).
By combining the results of these four dichotomies, individuals are assigned a four-letter code representing their personality type. For example, an individual who scores as an extraverted, sensing, feeling, and judging type would be assigned the personality test.
