MBTI Quiz
http://www.blogthings.com/mbtiquiz/


I found this website online.. Friends who visit my blog, i strongly recommend u all to take this personality test. Well, this is called the MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) It is the most well-known personality test in the world currently with firms such as Hewlett-Packard, Exxon, using it on their top executives. It is divided into 4 categories: Introversion vs extraversion (I/E), sensing vs intuition (S/N), Thinking vs Feeling (T/F), and lastly, Judging vs Perceiving (J/P).
With diff combinations, u get 16 combinations all in all. Eg. ISTP means Introvert, sensing, thinking and perceiving person.

This letter combination does not exactly specify who u r, becos MBTI acknowledges tt every individual is unique and different and does not attempt to generalize personality types. The reason why this test is extremely good is not in its accuracy in predicting personality, is tt it lets firms/ top executives know the working personality of the person taking the test. When dealing with work, what type of a person is HE? Eg. a Judging person means he is extremely organized, and likes to go by the books, while a perceiving person is some1 who is creative, likes to innovate, likes to do things on the spot w/o planning b4 hand. Hence, if an employee is a Judging type, & u assign him tasks last min, thereby disrupting his daily organized schedule, he is likely to hate u for it & may be de-motivated to perform. Hence, MBTI is extremely useful in evaluating personnels so tt Organizational Behaviour can be better shaped.

However, having looked at this quiz and took this quiz, i wish to say this online quiz is not the real MBTI quiz, it is a shorter version. The real MBTI quiz has abt 200+ questions which can lead to a better evaluation, this online quiz has only 40 qtns. Friends out there reading this, pls take the test, its really good. Becos u can know urself even better, u can even shape ur own working style so tt when u work with diff ppl in the future, if u r highly adaptable, u can even change ur working style to suit his.
For instance, if now u r Judging but ur boss always like to give jobs on the spot, u can gradually change ur style of working, not necessary resign right? All in all, the good thing abt MBTI is like we can choose who we wanna be, I tell u, i took e real test twice, once in SAJC, once in NTU. I managed to change my results, not tt i memorise the answers again and play cheat to change my MBTI results, but i gradually change my working styles & habits, eventually achieving the results i want. (though now it is still not my ideal result) I didn't know i haf changed till i took the test again, when i recall my previous results, i realized i did change after all.

What this test does not offer as compared to the longer version one( i muz say the nature of the qtn is the same but quantity diff), is tt becos longer version got more qtn, it gives a better evaluation, something called the clarity score. Like i said above, MBTI acknowledges tt every individual is unique and different and does not attempt to generalize personality types. Clarity score shows the magnitude of ur inclineness towards the personality type, from 0-99.
Take me for eg. My type is INTJ, but my T & J component is 3/99, which is extremely low, this means tt i can oso be a INFP person, becos my T/F & J/P components are highly interchangeable. For clarity score, as mentioned by my professor in NTU, as long as u haf a clarity score of below 5, it means u can switch in between diff personality types. It is not exactly clear what type of personality u are.

Anyway, having read what i haf wrote, i still dun think i explained MBTI clearly, Friends wishing to know more, pls let me know... It's really v good, though not the longer version but juz take this online quiz as a guide.
