Jung Typology Test

 

   According to Jung's typology all people can be classified using three criteria.
   These criteria are:
   Extraversion - Introversion
   Sensing - Intuition
   Thinking - Feeling

   Isabel Briggs-Myers added fourth criterion:
   Judging - Perceiving
    The first criterion defines the source and direction of energy expression for a person. The extrovert has a source and direction of energy expression mainly in the external world while the introvert has a source of energy mainly in the internal world.
    The second criterion defines the method of information perception by a person. Sensing means that a person believes mainly information he receives directly from the external world. Intuition means that a person believes mainly information he receives from the internal or imaginative world.
    The third criterion defines how the person processes information. Thinking means that a person makes a decision mainly through logic. Feeling means that, as a rule, he makes a decision based on emotion.
    The fourth criterion defines how a person implements the information he has processed. Judging means that a person organizes all his life events and acts strictly according to his plans. Perceiving means that he is inclined to improvise and seek alternatives.

    The different combinations of the criteria determine a type. There may be sixteen types. Every type has a name (or formula) according to the combination of criteria. For example:
    ISTJ
Introvert Sensing Thinking Judging or
   ENFP
Extrovert INtuitive Feeling Perceiving
    For a certain person a type formula and quantitative measure of expression of each criterion (strength of the preference) can be determined using the Type inventory. Then the corresponding type description can be represented.

    So, by activating the Jung Typology Test and answering the inventory questions you will discover your type formula, strength of the preferences and type description. It may help you to identify your general life style and your style in certain fields of activity (business, love, education, communications, conflicts).

After you take the online test and print out your score sheet (the 4 letters and the numbers that show the strength of each letter), come back to this page and read the directions for your assignment.  But first, click on the link below, read the directions and take the test.

Assignment:

Now that you know your type, get a copy of the sheet for that type and read what it says.  Do you agree or disagree that this sounds like you?  You may agree with some descriptions and disagree with others, so tell me about it in a paragraph.  Next take the sheet and have 2 people who know you well read it.  Ask them how well they think the description fits you and add their comments to your paragraph.  Turn this in no later than Tuesday, Nov. 8.
