What Is The Myers Briggs Test?

You may have heard of the 16 personalities test or the Myers Briggs test and wondered “what is that?”. Well, I’m here to tell you!

Simply, it’s a personality test where you’ll answer a whole bunch of questions and when you’ve finished you’ll be assigned with a personality type.  A lot of companies these days are asking applicants to take this test, so they can see how you would fit in! 

There are 16 possible options. 

The way it’s worked out is that you’re either an: Introvert or Extrovert (I or E) 

You process information through Sensing/Observing or Intuitively (S or I) 

You’re ruled by your Thoughts or Feelings (T or F) 

Generally, you see things from a Practical/Structured or Judgement based point of view (P or J)
