| Introduction |
| You
have surely realized that not everyone thinks, works,
or acts like you. It is easy to label co-workers or
friends as lazy, crazy, or disorganized when their
behavior does not match your expectations, but such
name calling rarely helps us understand personality
differences.
First discussed back in the 1920s by the
psychiatrist Carl Jung, type theory suggests that human behavior is not random but predictable and classifiable. According to this theory, everyone is born predisposed to certain personality preferences. Typologists have devised four pairs of preference alternatives, as stated below:
Extraverted (E) or Introverted (I)
Sensing (S) or iNtuitive (N)
Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
Judging (J) or Perceiving (P) |

descriptions |
| On
the basis of your answers to the test you are placed
in one of sixteen types. What type you are says quite
a bit about you - your likes and dislikes, your
likely career choices, your compatibility with others,
and so on. Click

| Type watching in
team situations |
Having information about personality types and preferences can be quite useful. Once you understand the basic personality preferences under which people operate, as well as your own preferences, you can begin to find ways to more effectively work with opposite types or even your own type. Through
type watching, you can find ways to build upon people's strengths and improve many group activities, such as time management, conflict resolution, problem solving, and team building.

| The
Test |
While
everyone has some introversion and some extroversion,
or some thinking and some feeling characteristics, the
test will help
you identify which alternatives you prefer to use.
- The test has 68
questions and will take you approximately 10
minutes to complete.
- You must answer at
least 50 questions in order to receive your type.
- Your responses
should reflect "the real you", not the
way you want to be, think you should be, or are
asked to be by someone else.
- Remember there are
no right or wrong answers or personality types.
