MBTI

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is test that identifies a personality that describes you best. The MBTI answers four important questions: where you focus your attention? The way you take in the information? The way you make decisions? How you deal with the outer world? I was very skeptical at first thinking how can a test tell something as complex as a personality. Even while taking the test I thought to myself that the questions seemed repetitive and impractical. After receiving the results I was very surprised to see how accurate the indicator actually was. Out of sixteen different personalities I was considered an ESTP. ESTP stands for extraversion, sensing, thinking, and perceiving. Extraversion means I focus my attention more on the outer world of people and things and not as much on the inner world of ideas and impressions. Sensing indicates that I take in information through the five senses and focus on the here and now and less on the future possibilities. Thinking implies that I make decisions based on logic and on objective analysis of cause and effect. Perceiving individuals tend to like a flexible and spontaneous approach to life and prefer to keep their options open. I liked taking the MBTI and I thought it was very accurate.
