 beautiful people it's Ashley here and today's video is all about the Myers Briggs Type Indicator or MBTI. Now before we continue I want to give a quick shout out to Rishi Cup TV the YouTube channel where good music good food and good talk intersect. Alright so the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. Now it's an introspective self-report questionnaire designed to indicate psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. The MBTI was constructed by Catherine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers based on the typological theory proposed by Carl Jung. So basically you just take a test and at the end of it you'll find out which of the 16 personality types you are and each question is based on one of the four cognitive learning styles. The first one, extroversion or introversion. Do you prefer to focus on the outer world or on your own little world? The extroverted types learn best by talking and interacting with others. By interacting with the physical world extroverts can process and make sense of new information. The introverted types prefer quiet reflection and privacy. Information processing occurs for introverts as they explore ideas and concepts internally. The second one, sensing or intuition. Do you prefer to focus on the basic information you take in or do you prefer to intercept and add meaning? Sensing types enjoy a learning environment in which the material is presented in a detailed and sequential manner. Sensing types often attend to what is occurring in the present and can move on to the abstract after they have established a concrete experience. Intuitive types prefer a learning atmosphere in which an emphasis is placed on meaning and associations. Insight is valued higher than careful observation and pattern recognition occurs naturally for intuitive types. The third one, thinking or feeling. When making decisions do you prefer to first look at logic and consistency or first look at the people and special circumstances? Thinking types desire objective truth and logical principles and are natural at deductive reasoning. Feeling types place an emphasis on issues and causes that can be personalized while they consider other people's motives. And the fourth one, judging or perceiving. In dealing with the outside world, do you prefer to get things decided or do you prefer to stay open to new information and options? Judging types will thrive when information is organized and structured and they will be motivated to complete assignments in order to gain closure. Perceiving types will flourish in a flexible learning environment in which they are stimulated by new and exciting ideas. Judging types would like to be on time while perceiving types may be late and or procrastinate. Now it is based on these four cognitive learning styles that they name each of these 16 personality types. Don't know what I mean? Well, if you've even remotely heard of the Myers-Briggs type indicator then you would have seen how they name the personality types. For example, you've got INFJ, I-N-T-P-E-S-T-J. So how does that work? Well, they just pretty much take the first letter, in this case the second one because I and I, they don't want to confuse you I guess, and just put it all together. So if your personality type is INFP, so you put I-N-F-P, that's simple.
