This week Mike speaks with Louise; the second alter from the Doug Vincent System to appear on GCC, to explain how the alters within the system have used the MBTI Personality Test to better understand themselves and their roles. In more detail, Louise starts by speaking about her “awakening” within the system, before answering some questions from you (the lovely GCC audience) about DID, including alters “switching” control over the body. Louise then provides an in-depth explanation about what the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) is, how it was created, what the letters actually mean and how their system utilizes it for the different alters.Mike also took the test and is a Protagonist (ENFJ-A), with the “Diplomat” role and his strategy is “People Mastery” – he explains his results in more detail and he & Louise discuss what they mean. Louise also prepared a quiz for Mike where he guesses which Star Wars and Marvel characters would have what type of MBTI personality – listen to the entire conversation to hear the results! To do the personality test yourself, completely for free, visit www.16personalities.com Louise mentioned the book Gifts Differing: Understanding Personality Type by Isabel Briggs Myers & Peter B.

Welcome to this week's edition of the podcast. If you like what I'm doing here, share this episode with a friend, post a comment. Many thanks for your support!The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is one of the most popular personality tests in the world. Developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers and based upon Carl Jung's work, it categorises individuals into 16 distinct types based on four dichotomies: Introversion vs Extraversion, Sensing vs Intuition, Thinking vs Feeling, and Judging vs Perceiving. Despite its widespread use in a variety of settings and its apparent utility (Pittenger, 1993)1, from corporate team-building to personal self-discovery, the MBTI has faced significant criticism from the scientific community.Although influential, Jung's work is mainly considered speculative (Mayer, 2005)2 and not subjected to rigorous scientific testing. His typology was derived from clinical observations rather than systematic research, making it a weak foundation for a personality assessment tool. In contrast, modern personality psychology relies on empirical studies to validate theoretical constructs and measurement instruments.Read the full articleI am a registered test user with the British Psychological Society.

Are personality tests valuable tools based on science, or just horoscopes in a lab coat? Comedian Michael Regilio joins us for Skeptical Sunday to find out! On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss: Personality tests, like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, are widely used by individuals and organizations as a way to understand who we are and how we interact with one another. But how accurate are they? The Myers-Briggs test was developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers — neither of whom were scientists or psychologists. Companies use personality tests in hiring practices, potentially leading to discrimination and exclusion of qualified candidates. The Big 5 (5-Factor Model) is a more accurate alternative, but even it assumes personality traits remain relatively static over time. Psychologists and researchers should continue studying personality and behavior to develop more accurate and fair assessment tools that can better predict job performance and workplace success, but we should take the results of current personality tests with a grain of salt.

No specific talk of psychology or psychiatry, however. https://youtu.be/PsnYB6EiSCE This interview shows a short clip of Cruise's Oprah appearance. Very odd. Either way, I remain a fan of most Tom Cruise movies. He's a legitimate movie star and the face of many of the movies from the last few decades… that I still love to this day. I still have a hard time reconciling Cruise's antics and the movies he stars in. He's a movie star—and a spectacular one—not much more.     Jungian Typology Carl Jung (1875-1961). A Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. Hugely influential in the psychiatry field in the 20th Century and beyond. Jung is considered the “father” of analytic psychology, who coined the term (Analytische Psychologie in the original German). Analytic psychology is also known as Jungian analysis.   Psychological Types Four main functions of consciousness Non-Rational or perceiving Sensation Intuition Rational or judging Thinking Feeling   From what I gather, Jung sees things as tendencies rather than typecasting a human being… “more into the theory,” as Scott said. Psychological Types (German: Psychologische Typen) is a 1921 book by Carl Jung (translated into English in 1923). The tome eventually became volume 6 of the Collected Works of C.G. Jung. Jung's own interest in typology was trying to reconcile theories of Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler with his own theories.   Jung's work heavily influenced 20th Century psychology and psychiatry. Jung was “trying to find the undergirding essence of human consciousness,” said Scott.   Book mentioned: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl     Myers and Briggs Roughly contemporaneous with Jung were Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother Katharine Cook Briggs. Myers and Briggs were trying to “make something practical and accessible from Jung's original work,” said Scott.   Myers-Briggs Type Indicator E or I Extraversion Intraversion S or N Sensing Intuition T or F Thinking Feeling J or P Judging Perceiving   The Four Temperaments: Sanguine Choleric Melancholic Phlegmatic   Humorism (The Four Humors) Blood Yellow bile Black bile Phlegm     Doctors mentioned:   John Beebe Understanding the Archetypes involving the eight functions of type (Beebe model) Integrity in Depth (2005 book by John Beebe)   David Keirsey Four temperaments Artisan (operators/entertainers) Guardian (administrators/conservators) Idealist (mentors/advocates) Rational (coordinators/engineers) The Keirsey Temperament Sorter Looks for “trends.”   Linda Berens     Scott Fischbuch's coaching Coaching business is primarily word of mouth … like many of the folks we've had.

INTJ, ENFP, ISTJ e altre millemila lettere A CASO che troviamo sempre più frequentemente nelle descrizioni di profili e bio. Ma da dove vengono queste sigle e chi le ha volute? Oggi facciamo una puntata più “leggera” in cui abbandoniamo per un po' il buon vecchio DSM per passare a un altro sistema di riferimento conosciuto come MBTI, ovvero il test Myers-Briggs, ideato da Katharine Cook Briggs e sua figlia Isabel Briggs Myers a seguito degli studi a stampo jungiano (caro Jung). Secondo le loro teorie, si possono dividere le persone in 16 categorie, partendo da parametri quali: EXTRAVERSION (E) / INTROVERSION (I) SENSING (S) / INTUITION (N) THINKING (T) / FEELING (F) JUDGMENT (J) / PERCEPTION (P) È un sistema efficace? Sni. Come tutto, dipende. Ma farlo è divertente e gli spunti che dà non sono per forza sbagliati. Quindi oggi domenichina frivola e scopriamo di più questo test che ha spopolato su internet e che, ad oggi, viene spesso usato nel recruiting. E voi che mix di lettere siete? Il test si trova facilmente su internet e noi suggeriamo questo: https://www.16personalities.com/it VI RICORDIAMO CHE I TEST SU INTERNET NON POSSONO AVERE FINALITà DIAGNOSTICA!

O que é o teste do MBTI? O MBTI é um teste questionário criado pela norte-americana Katharine Briggs (1875-1968) e sua filha Isabel Briggs Myers (1897-1980) com base nas teorias de um dos principais teóricos da Psicologia, Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961). O livro “Tipos Psicológicos” foi publicado originalmente em alemão em 1921.

At first, it seemed like Isabel Briggs Myers would have nothing to do with personality typology. That was her mother Katharine's passion project, not hers. But when Isabel enters a tumultuous marriage, she discovers that her mother's gospel of type might just be the thing to save it.  In Chapter 2, Isabel picks up her mother's work, and decides to transform it into a marketable product—but first, she has to convince a group of skeptical PhDs that it actually works. Along the way, one particularly dogged researcher notices some issues with her indicator, threatening to undo everything she'd worked for. If you're new to the series, listen to Chapter 1.

Why The Delta Variant Will Make More Kids Sick As cases of the highly contagious Delta variant of COVID-19 continue to spike around the U.S., children are one of the hardest-hit groups. As children under 12 remain ineligible for vaccination, they and other unvaccinated groups are facing the highest rates of infection and hospitalization of the entire pandemic.  Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control announced Wednesday that adults in the general population would be eligible for a third booster shot of their mRNA vaccine beginning eight months after their first dose. While the CDC cited concern about rising breakthrough cases in vaccinated adults, some epidemiologists have objected that the data does not support more vaccines for most already-vaccinated adults. MIT Technology Review's Amy Nordrum walks through these stories, plus a new human trial for mRNA vaccines against HIV, how historic drought in the West will mean the first-ever limits on farmers' use of water next year, a promising experiment in fusion energy generation, and why the core of Saturn may be more liquid than solid.      Pandemic Unveils Growing Suicide Crisis For Communities Of Color Rafiah Maxie has been a licensed clinical social worker in the Chicago area for a decade. Throughout that time, she'd viewed suicide as a problem most prevalent among middle-aged white men. Until May 27, 2020. That day, Maxie's 19-year-old son, Jamal Clay—who loved playing the trumpet and participating in theater, who would help her unload groceries from the car and raise funds for the March of the Dimes—killed himself in their garage. “Now I cannot blink without seeing my son hanging,” said Maxie, who is Black. Clay's death, along with the suicides of more than 100 other Black residents in Illinois last year, has led locals to call for new prevention efforts focused on Black communities. In 2020, during the pandemic's first year, suicides among white residents decreased compared with previous years, while they increased among Black residents, according to state data. But this is not a local problem. Nor is it limited to the pandemic. Interviews with a dozen suicide researchers, data collected from states across the country and a review of decades of research revealed that suicide is a growing crisis for communities of color—one that plagued them well before the pandemic and has only been exacerbated since. Overall suicide rates in the U.S. decreased in 2019 and 2020. National and local studies attribute the trend to a drop among white Americans, who make up the majority of suicide deaths. Meanwhile, rates for Black, Hispanic and Asian Americans—though lower than their white peers—continued to climb in many states. (Suicide rates have been consistently high for Native Americans.) “COVID created more transparency regarding what we already knew was happening,” said Sonyia Richardson, a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on serving people of color and an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, where she researches suicide. When you put the suicide rates of all communities in one bucket, “that bucket says it's getting better and what we're doing is working,” she said. “But that's not the case for communities of color.” Read the full story, produced in collaboration with Kaiser Health News.     The Minds Behind The Myers-Briggs Personality Test If you're one of the 2 million people who take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator every year, perhaps you thought Myers and Briggs are the two psychologists who designed the test. In reality, they were a mother-daughter team who were outsiders to the research world: Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers.  They may have been outsiders, but Katharine and Isabel did their homework, and approached the test the way a trained psychologist likely would have. And the product they created—the Myers Briggs Type Indicator—would eventually become the world's most popular personality test. But how did it all begin? Science Diction is releasing a special three-part series on the rise of the Myers-Briggs. In the first episode: A look at the unlikely origins of the test, going all the way back to the late 1800s when Katharine Briggs turned her living room into a “cosmic laboratory of baby training” and set out to raise the perfect child. Science Diction host Johanna Mayer and reporter Chris Egusa join John Dankosky to tell that story.

Per avere una corretta comunicazione online un brand, e personal brand, deve effettuare alcune valutazioni su:•Chi siamo? (attitudini e personalità)•Come siamo percepiti? (archetipi e Archetypal Branding)•Qual è la Social Media Persona? (la sintesi comunicativa)Partendo da chi siamo, quindi la nostra personalità, è possibile utilizzare un questionario psicometrico creato da Katharine Cook Briggs e sua figlia Isabel Briggs Myers, denominato con l’acronimo MBTI (dall'inglese Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), che durante la seconda guerra mondiale aiutò a stabilire la personalità e la propensione lavorativa delle donne che avrebbero sostituito gli uomini nelle fabbriche.Ancora oggi molto usato non è da intendersi come verità assoluta ma come un indicatore di comportamenti comuni, attitudini, inclinazioni che ognuno di noi possiede, uno strumento da utilizzare per capire noi stessi e gli altri.Il questionario parte dai 16 tipi psicologici di Jung basandosi su quattro coppie di opposte funzioni che determinano i nostri comportamenti:1.Mondo:•Ti piace stare nel mondo esterno? Ti piace stare in mezzo alle persone? Spesso agisci senza riflettere? Le tue parole chiave sono attivo, espansivo e aperto? La tua categoria è Estroversione.•Preferisci il mondo interiore? Sei riflessivo? Hai bisogno di pensare prima di agire? Le tue parole chiave sono riflessivo, riservato? La tua categoria è Introversione.2.Informazioni:•Hai bisogno di informazioni concrete? Che ti arrivano dai sensi? Le tue parole chiave sono chiaro, pratico e concreto? La tua categoria è Sensorialità.•Ti interessano più le connessioni fra le informazioni? Hai bisogno di informazioni che attivano l’immaginazione? Le tue parole chiave sono possibilità, significato e immaginazione? La tua categoria è Intuizione.3.Decisioni:•Ti basi su dati oggettivi? Prendi decisioni sulle analisi dei fatti? Cerchi logica e coerenza? Le tue parole chiave sono logico e orientato al lavoro? La tua categoria è Pensiero.•Contano di più le tue valutazioni e quelle delle persone coinvolte? Nelle soluzioni cerchi il consenso? Le tue parole chiave sono soggettivo e orientato alle persone? La tua categoria è Sentimento.4.Stile di vita:•Ti piace pianificare? Avere una vita organizzata? Rispetti le regole? Le tue parole chiave sono piani, obiettivi e scadenze? La tua categoria è Giudizio.•Non riesci molto ad organizzare? Ti trovi sempre a rincorrere le scadenze? Preferisci uno stile di vita spontaneo? Le tue parole chiave sono ricettivo e flessibile? La tua categoria è Percezione.Dall’intersezione di questi parametri il questionario è in grado di restituire 16 possibili profili.Il test dovrebbe essere sottoposto e valutato da un professionista qualificato, ma è possibile anche usare molti tool online gratis per un risultato meno dettagliato e preciso.Bisogna tener presente che:•Il solo test non è del tutto esaustivo sulla personalità degli individui, ma suggerisce le possibili funzioni cognitive.•Le persone cambiano e quindi cambia anche la valutazione del test nel tempo.•Non esiste la corrispondenza al 100% ma siamo un mix con alcuni fattori che emergono.•Non esiste un’unica visione del test motivo per cui è consigliabile effettuarne diversi e paragonarli.•Non è possibile catalogare tutta l’umanità in 16 categorie, va preso come una base di partenza.Dopo aver raccolto tutti i dati dai vari test bisogna verificare se ci si ritrova, se le parole chiave ed il profilo emerso rappresentano il proprio brand. Bisogna domandarsi come poter usare queste informazioni nel lavoro e se ci rappresentano anche in quest’ambito, se non ci riconosciamo in alcuni valori e se nella vita ci piace relazionarci con persone con le stesse funzioni cognitive.Una volta identificato “chi siamo” bisogna procedere con come siamo percepiti dagli altri e questo lo vedremo nel prossimo episodio…

I think it is really important to credit others work – what has gone before you. And to allow your readers/listeners and so on to form their own opinions of the work.

It is helpful in the areas of growth and self-development is used as a tool for discovery, rather than as a method for putting people into boxes. Who created the 16 personality types? The sixteen personality types which we use in our assessment are based on the well-known research of Carl Jung, Katharine C. Briggs, and Isabel Briggs Myers. Carl Jung first developed the theory that individuals each had a psychological type. 16personalities.com How can you function in a relationship with this in mind (introverts)?

How this personality test could change your life (Personality Test - Myers Briggs) - Sometimes after a toxic relationship, we sort of forget who we are. But if we want to be happy and succeed in life, introspection is a powerful catalyst to ensuring your success. Thankfully, today you have access from the comfort of your home to powerful and proven personality test technology that until now was only used in large corporations, psychological circles and education settings. If you want to know more about yourself, you can spend as little as 15 minutes taking a test that will give you tremendous insight into your own psyche. You’ll learn about both positive and negative factors of your personality that affects all aspects of your life. Once you learn these parts of your personality, you can work toward actually changing the negatives. You can also find ways to work around the negatives so that you can accentuate the positive aspects of your personality to reach more success than you ever thought possible. The Myers Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®), heavily influenced by Carl Jung’s work on “Psychological Types” published in 1923, was created by a mother and daughter pair: Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother Katherine Briggs conducted a study of personality types, due to Katherine’s curiosity of personality types influenced by her daughter’s fiancé’s different personality. Publishing the first finished questionnaire in 1943, it’s been updated and changed over the years to more match not only the times but also new insights into personality that has developed along with the advancement of computer technology.

E N T S J I … what? Have you ever answered the 64 questions that comprise the Myers Briggs Type Indicator? I first learned about the 4 scales that measure the strength of individual preferences for information gathering and ideation, decision making and generating energy for interacting with the world (that’s a mouthful) in a meeting with Kathy Gowans. To this day, she is my personal expert on all things personality and I have drawn from what she has taught me for more than 20 years. I think you’ll enjoy listening to our discussion and learning more from her. You’ve likely heard about extroverts and introverts and probably been told which you are at least once, but you still might not be familiar with the philosophy behind MBTI, which is founded in Swiss psychiatrist’s Carl Jung’s research and further explored and organized by mother-daughter team, Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers. On the 16 Personalities page, you’ll find colorful images and delightfully descriptive profiles that serve up endless Aha moments as you read your personal preferences in four areas. I am an ENFP, known on this website as a Campaigner. The four scales of personal preference are as follows:1. Extroversion & Introversion Where you get your energy to act. 2. Sensing & IntuitionHow you gather information and learn3. Thinking and FeelingHow you make decisions4. Judging & PerceivingHow you approach the worldCLICK HERE to take the test at humanmetrics.comand HERE is the fun, 16 Personalities page.

Personlighetstesters tillförlitlighet jämförs horoskops. Ändå används de flitigt. Varför? Sociologen Emma Engdahl går tillbaka till det mest använda testet Myers-Briggs Type Indicator för att få svar. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Gratis personlighetstest. Det tar mindre än tolv minuter. Svara ärligt, även om du inte gillar svaret. Försök att inte vara neutral. Ok, tänker jag. Åtta minuter senare har jag svar på vilken personlighetstyp jag är: en förkämpe som kan förändra världen med bara en idé och bör hålla den lilla gnistan av galenskap vid liv. Det låter som reklam, som en person jag gärna skulle vara. Jag köper även efterföljande lista på bra och dåliga egenskaper. Jag är nyfiken, observant, energisk och entusiastisk. Och nog stämmer det att jag ofta överanalyserar, är känslig och har svårt att ta order. Ändå är det något som skaver. Jag har gjort samma test en gång tidigare och då var jag en debattör: kompromisslöst ärlig. Och det är jag nog också. Ibland. Det är allmänt känt att vissa uttalande är så pass vaga att vem som helst kan känna igen sig i dem. Fenomenet kallas Barnumuttalande efter den amerikanske cirkusdirektören P T Barnum, kungen av humbug, som på mitten av 1800-talet underhöll sin publik med menageri, freakshower och vaga uttalande om enskilda besökares personlighet och situation. Du har en oupptäckt potential. Du står inför ett svårt livsval. Detta kallas även Forer-effekt, efter psykologen Bertram Forer som på 1940-talet gav sina studenter samma horoskop och konstaterade att samtliga av dem kände igen sig i det. Att vem som helst kan känna igen sig i personlighetstestens typer gör att de kritiserats för att inte vara mer trovärdiga än just horoskop. Personlighetstestning används nu inte enbart som underhållning eller av privatpersoner som vill uppnå självkännedom. Det är ett vanligt verktyg i arbetslivet när det gäller rekrytering och konflikthantering, vilket kritikerna anser är ytterst vanskligt. Forskningen visar nämligen att det är de egenskaper vi har gemensamt, snarare än de egenskaper som skiljer oss åt, som skapar en god arbetsmiljö och får oss att lösa konflikter. Att dela in folk i olika typer är därmed inte att rekommendera. Det kan rentav vara förödande för människor som inte frivilligt uppsökt varandras sällskap. Naturligtvis kan man slå sig för pannan och förfasas över att folk är mindre begåvade och att samhället har spårat ur. Människans behov av att svara på frågor om vem hon är och hur hon bör leva sitt liv går dock långt tillbaka i mänsklighetens historia. I det antika Grekland ansågs det vara nödvändigt att lära känna sig själv för att kunna tolka utsagorna från oraklet i Delfi. Man ställde också upp regler för hur man borde leva sitt liv för att kunna pröva, förkovra sig och omvandla sig själv. Tillvägagångssättet har många likheter med hur Benjamin Franklin som ung man förde moralisk dagbok i syfte att förnuftsmässigt styra sitt beteende. Bland annat ville han uppnå måttlighet genom att inte äta så att han blev slö eller dricka så att han blev upprymd, ordning genom att låta alla sina saker ha bestämda platser och ödmjukhet genom att försöka likna Sokrates eller Jesus. Så vitt jag kan se, är det strävan efter att leva ett genomtänkt liv som ligger bakom utvecklingen av det mest använda personlighetstestet i världen: Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Testet är ett resultat av Katherine Cook Briggs och hennes dotter Isabel Briggs Myers utforskande av sina egna liv. I Merve Emres bok The Personality Brokers (2018) skildras deras livsöden. Katherine som föddes 1875 präglades av en inre kamp för att förena sin naturvetenskapliga utbildning med sin religiösa uppfostran. När hennes son Alfred dör i sömnen, endast ett år gammal, blir hon smärtsamt medveten om hur skör människan är under sina första levnadsår och hur noggrant ett litet barns aktiviteter måste regleras för att det ska kunna förfina sin personlighet och rädda sin själ. Hon inser då att det går att förena sökandet efter personlig frälsning med den moderna världens rationella metoder. När Katherine förlorar ytterligare en son, innan han ens hunnit döpas, slår hon slag i saken och gör om sitt vardagsrum till ett laboratorium för personlighetsforskning. Experimenten börjar med hennes förstfödda och enda överlevande barn, dottern Isabel som då är fyra år gammal. Laboratoriet döps till The cosmic laboratory for baby training och ganska snart är det fyllt av bekantskapskretsens barn som skall pröva, förkovra sig och omvandla sig själva. Grundtanken är att barn behöver ledas in på rätt bana i livet genom att lära dem hur de utifrån sin personlighet kan bidra till samhället. Barnen observeras och vägleds genom bestraffning och belöning. Allt bokförs noggrant och insikterna sprids i massmedierna. Katherines gärning, som ytterst handlade om att basera moderskapet på forskningsresultat och göra det till en profession, får stort genomslag. I samband med att Isabel lämnar hemmet för att studera får den experimentella verksamhet som under 18 år utgjort Katherines huvudintresse emellertid ett abrupt slut. Deprimerad skriver hon i ett brev till sin dotter som aldrig postas: Vem över fjorton år behöver egentligen en mamma, eller vem borde behöva en? När Katherine ett flertal år senare upptäcker Carl Gustav Jungs teori om psykologiska typer upphör hennes depression. Jung introducerar idén om att människor kan kategoriseras som introverta eller extroverta. Som tänkande eller kännande. Tankesättet fångar Katherines intresse till den grad att hon utnämner honom till sin husgud. För första gången på länge upplever hon att hennes liv har mål och mening. Hon brevväxlar med Jung och ägnar ett halvt decennium åt att sätta sig in i hans analytiska psykologi, innan hon slutligen besöker honom. Under tiden görs hennes hem återigen till ett laboratorium för personlighetsforskning, men denna gång är det vuxna människor som ska pröva, förkovra sig och omvandla sig själva. Resultatet av arbetet publiceras 1926 i  artikeln Meet yourself: How to use the Personality Paint Box där Katherine lär läsarna att med hjälp av indexkort ta reda på vilken av Jungs sammanlagt sexton personlighetstyper de är och vad de bör göra i sina liv. Personlighetstestet är skapat! Det var emellertid Isabel som under 1940-talet omarbetade Katherines arbete så att det blev användbart inom arbetslivet och formulerade det frågeformulär som ligger till grund för Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Ett personlighetstest är en sammanställning av uttalanden om oss själva. Ovetenskapligt? Javisst. Falskt, vem vet? Sant? Ja, om vi vill och anstränger oss. Vår personlighet är nämligen föränderlig och styrs av hur vi själva, andra och samhället uppfattar oss. Det är därför vi ständigt söker efter strategier för att ta reda på vem vi är och vad vi bör göra i våra liv. Problemet är att den strategi vi väljer att använda oss av kommer att forma vårt framtida jag och våra livsmöjligheter. Om vi uppfattar den kunskap som personlighetstesten genererar som verklig, kommer den att bli verklig i sina konsekvenser. Att förstå sig själv och låta sig styras av ett standardiserat frågeformulär är därmed ytterst begränsande. Det är att bli snuvad på den gnutta frihet vi idag har att forma vårt eget öde.

While Aleph Insights is on a summer break from recording podcasts, here's an episode from our archive. Are personality tests any use? What can they tell us if anything? Or is it like a star-sign? Take the test! www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test Image: Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers. Courtesy of Katharine Myers via Wikipedia.

This week, Sam and Emily discuss the 16 different personality types and discuss their relation to Harry Potter characters.  The type indicator test analyzes one's personality based on extraversion (E)/introversion (I), sensing (S)/intuition (N), thinking (T)/feeling (F), and judgement (J)/perception (P).  It was developed by mother-daughter duo Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers.  To quote Ronald Weasley, they "know more about you than you do".  Cheers!

Tema er Mayers-Briggs personlighetstest. Er det bare humbug, eller kan det gi oss mer (selv)innsikt? WebPsykologen har tatt testen selv, og her blottlegger han sin egen personlighetsprofil.I denne episoden, og i denne artikkelen, skal jeg undersøke Myers-Briggs personlighetstest. Du skal få innblikk i testen, muligheten til å ta den, og mot slutten har jeg testet meg selv. Min personlighetsprofil finner du mot slutten av dagens episode eller i bunn av denne artikkelen.I en tidligere episode her på SinnSyn administrerte jeg en personlighetstest på min egen sjef, Per Egeland. Den gangen baserte vi oss på den såkalte fem-faktor-modellen eller «Big 5» som den også kalles. Den skårer mennesker på graden av åpenhet for nye erfaringer, medmenneskelighet, følelsesmessig ustabilitet og graden av negative følelser, samt planmessighet og personens tendenser til å være innadvendt eller utadvendt. I denne episoden fikk du en introduksjon til Big 5 av organisasjonspsykolog Tor Åge Eikerapen. I dagens episode skal jeg ta for meg den andre av de mest kjente og utbredte personlighetstestene, nemlig Myers-Briggs Type Indicator som forkortes MBTI. Myers-Briggs personlighetstest refererer både til en teori og et tilsvarende mål for personlighetstyper, basert på en typologi introdusert av psykiater Carl Jung tidlig på 1900-tallet. Denne testen karakteriserer folk ved deres holdning til den indre og den ytre verden. En av fasettene i denne testen dreier seg om Extraversion kontra Introversion, noe som altså korrelerer ganske sterk med den tilsvarende fasetten i Big 5. De neste punktene i testen handler om kognitive preferanser satt opp i ulike dikotomier. Bruker vi for eksempel følelser når vi fortolker verden, eller bruker vi fornuften?Det underliggende prinsippet i MBTI er altså en kognitiv teori, mens Big 5 baser seg på en leksikalsk hypotese som hevder at alle vesentlige trekk hos mennesker vil komme til uttrykk i språklige kategorier. De som har utviklet «Big 5» har gått gjennom ordbøker og samlet alle ordene som beskriver personlighetstrekk og deretter sett på hvilke som brukes synonymt, og til sist anvendt faktoranalyse for å ende opp med fem hovedfaktorer og flere underfasettter i hver hovedkategori. Det vil si at Big 5 er en ikke-teoretisk modell, men en måte å sortere egenskaper på basert på språklig praksis. Siden MBTI derimot er bygget på en kognitiv teori, kategoriserer den personlighet i forhold til hvordan individet tar inn og behandler informasjon. De to modellene er altså veldig forskjellige, og i dagens episode er det Mayers-Briggs personlighetstest vi skal undersøke.Det er kontroversielt hvorvidt disse testene over hodet sier noe vesentlig om menneskelige karaktertrekk. Det finnes massiv kritikk mot personlighetstester, og det kan være verdt å merke seg før man involverer seg i slike tester selv.Selv om personlighetstesten ikke er empirisk solid på noen måte, mener jeg likevel den har noe for seg. Jeg mener man bør håndtere disse testene på samme måte som man håndterer alle tanker og følelser som dukker opp i vårt indre liv, nemlig med en stor klype salt. Man må ikke forledes til å tro at testene definerer oss som mennesker eller avslører vesentlige sannheter om oss selv. For meg er poenget med disse testene å etablere et utgangspunkt for å reflektere over seg selv. Testene sier noe om våre tendenser og preferanser, og det kan kaste nytt lys over ting i livet vi opplever vanskelig. Noen ganger kommer vi stadig i konflikt med en bestemt type mennesker, og det kan værer ekstremt irriterende og kilden til mye ondt blod. Dersom en personlighetstest kan sette deg på sporet av måten du håndterer livet på, for eksempel med fornuft og logikk, mens de menneskene du ikke kommer overens med, baserer seg mer på følelser når de tar viktige avgjørelser, så kan dette synliggjøre konflikten slik at ny innsikt i relasjonen kan gi grobunn for bedre samarbeid og litt flere forbehold før man blir amper og irritert. Her på SinnSyn er jeg opptatt av å presentere psykologi og psykologiske teorier på en slik måte at det ansporer oss til å se litt mer etter i vårt indre landskap, altså det jeg kaller for SinnSyn, og dermed er det naturlig å ta med seg Mayer-Briggs teorier om den menneskelige personlighet.Denne artikkelen og dagens episode av SinnSyn er basert på boken til Isabel Briggs Myers og Peter B.

I graciously accepted candy from a stranger, as though in doing so the sugar would somehow absorb into my bloodstream and make life sweet again, rather than simply causing an insulin spike. If this isn't evidence of the kindness of strangers, I don't know what is. To really set the scene: this was a rainy day in the October of 2010. I was still proverbially wet behind the ears, having recently graduated from the University of Reading with a fairly respectable degree in Graphic Communication and Typography. I was three months into my internship at a small digital agency in London's West End, and I had stormed out of the office in tears approximately 45 minutes prior. I was still sobbing, red-faced, as I sat on the train, urging it to leave the station and take me away from the hell of London Victoria as swiftly as possible. Come to think of it, the kindly, sweet-bearing lady didn't have much of a choice. You can't really enjoy your fruit pastilles if you're sat opposite someone showing signs of hysteria, increasingly turning as red as her hair by the second. Might as well offer her one. So… what was the reason for the waterworks and the storming out, two hours before the day's end? There were a multitude of reasons, from unfair salary to a narcissistic CEO, but what persisted – and what sparked this book into being – was the dawning of a discovery I wouldn't fully grasp for another three years. I left that sadistic internship the next day – yay – but the underlying problem causing my chronic distress and dissatisfaction followed me into my next job. There, I found a much more fair, friendly and above-board company to work for. Yet whilst my circumstances improved on paper, the storm brewing inside me did not. Let's piece the evidence together and see if we can diagnose the Cat of circa 2010–2013 with the real underlying problem: • The highlight of her workday is the first hour. Quiet time to herself before the remainder of the office (comprising 30–40 individuals at any given time) clocks in. • After this, she starts to exhibit signs of quiet distress. Her brow furrows, and grooves get deeper throughout the day, until 5:30pm comes and she resembles a raisin you might consider putting on your cereal. • She is in a state of constant lethargy, despite the fact she spends approximately 80% of her day sitting. • The kindly co-workers around her, who mean well with their table football and darts, just can't understand why she is spontaneously crying. Is it something they said? When I looked at these symptoms in the thick of my malaise, I assumed that I was fatally flawed. A broken human who couldn't hold down a respectable job that plenty of other young graduates would have given their left eyebrow for. I actually never figured it out whilst I remained (miraculously) employed there. It took a leap of faith and a holiday to Japan for me to finally pack it in and save my boss and colleagues the discomfort of keeping Mount Cat from erupting. My plan was to simply take a shot at this thing called freelancing, for the six months of savings I had. I can honestly say I had no idea what I was doing: I just had to test my hypothesis; that the 9–5 office grind was not a match for me. It turns out, I was on to something. Overnight, I discovered energy I hadn't had in over three years. I woke up without the need for an alarm (and several snoozes), eager to open my laptop, inspired to start creating and refining and emailing and tinkering each and every day. So what changed? What was it about my newfound lifestyle and work day turned me from Sourpuss to the Cheshire Cat? Did I just hate people? That didn't seem fair: I liked my colleagues very much. Plus, the more ‘difficult' clients hadn't disappeared: I was still dealing with some of the same people and arguably some even more prickly characters now. Was I just spoiled with years of schooling and university that sheltered me from the grind of commuting each day to an office full of diverse characters and pressure to demonstrate initiative? But I've always been highly conscientious, hard-working and tolerant of rigid routine. Again, this didn't add up. Eventually, discussing my confusion with a friend, he casually diagnosed me. “You're an introvert, then.” “An introvert?!” I balked. I could admit that I was a shy child, and had my own share of social anxieties, but on the whole I'd made huge progress in my social skills and increased my confidence over the years. I couldn't be an introvert! Then he explained what the original definition of introvert is, coined by Carl Jung, Swiss psychoanalyst, and later expanded upon by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. The confusion I had over my work history – and much of my school years – started to vanish. When I understood this new (old) definition of what an introvert really is, a whole world of self-knowledge and understanding of others opened up to me. An introvert, defined in this book is: • Someone who gets drained by socialising in groups and recharges by being alone. • Someone who processes information slowly and deeply. • Someone who is NOT necessarily shy or quiet! Newly armed with this information, my fascination grew. I started to understand why networking was so exhausting. I realised why in-house freelance contracts were not ideal, why I couldn't stomach networking, why I grew tired long before my more extroverted friends at the pub. I started to shape my business around remote work and clients who could accommodate that. I started turning to more strategic ways of getting my work in front of people. I started letting my friends know why I had to pull an ‘Irish Exit' so often. The biggest relief was knowing: I wasn't broken. I wasn't a freak. I was in the 30-50% of the population who also fell on the introverted side of the spectrum. A real ah-ha moment came as I started to see a correlation specifically between the creatives I knew and my newfound self-diagnosis. I was finding that the vast majority of these creatives; illustrators, animators, writers, even musicians (who I had assumed were all extroverts if they performed on stage) were also introverts. We lamented, over tepid pints of dutch courage, how much we wanted to relax into a hermit lifestyle and commit to our art. Self-promotion, social media, talking about what we do, pitching clients and agents… that was the drag, the painful side of our creative path we would do anything to avoid. I felt this pain acutely. I also felt called to doing something about our conundrum. I committed myself to first working out an introvert-friendly way to make a career that suited my personality type and preferences, then to helping my fellow creative introverts. I committed to finding a way we could have our introverted cake and eat it too. In this case, our cake is creating work we love, and eating it is… well, making a living from it without selling our soul to our extrovert overlords. This became my obsession, the one that kicked off the Creative Introvert blog, podcast, the League of Creative Introverts and the book you're reading. Are you a creative introvert? There are a plethora of tests online that will give you your introvert diagnosis, but really it's very simple. Do you identify with more than three of the following? • You restore your energy when you spend time alone. • You generally dislike being at the centre of attention. • It takes you some time to get involved in social activities with a new group of people. • You usually find it difficult to relax when talking in front of more than one person. • You prefer to express yourself through writing or other non-verbal forms. Well my friend, you're an introvert in my books! Misconceptions about introverts Common misconceptions about introverts are that we're all shy and socially anxious. Whilst these traits do overlap, and it is very common to be both an introvert and shy, I do want to clarify that these are separate traits. Even if you consider yourself shy, you probably recognise that your shyness is situational: it depends on the context. Introversion however, is less fickle. I can't control whether or not I feel my energy drain after a few hours in a large group situation. I can't control how my brain processes information and how long it often takes me to find the right word when I'm speaking (especially compared to when I'm writing.) In addition, this isn't a book about becoming more of an extrovert: that isn't my goal and I don't believe it needs to be yours either. Nor is it a simple description of what it is to be a creative introvert, and an excuse to rant about our struggles. Instead, you'll be given tailored, experience-based and evidence-based guidance on building a thriving creative career, taking into account your introversion. Now to define creativity… oh my. This is a little trickier to pin down than introversion. Unlike personality tests, I'm less fanatical about ‘creativity' tests that get you to think of multiple uses for a pencil, and decide your creativity based on that. I'm a believer in creativity being in the eye of the beholder. You can feel creative in a niche area like flower arranging, whilst regarding yourself as unmusical, a terrible painter with two left feet. Creativity comes in myriad forms and outlets, and more than anything it's a description of how we connect the dots, how we generate novelty, and how we play. I'm not going to ask you to take a test to bolster your belief in how creative you are: I'm going to take a guess and say that you ARE creative. How you utilise that creativity and bring it to fruition is entirely up to you, and I would love more than anything for this book to reveal how you can best do that for your specific personality type, preferences, skills and desires. If anything you've read so far about introversion and creativity resonates then there is a good chance this book is for you. The clincher is this: have you experienced challenges in your career ambitions? It might be communicating with your boss or coworkers. It might be feeling exhausted in an open plan office space. It might be clarifying your target market and building a coherent body of work. All of these challenges – and many more – you might face as a creative with a degree of career ambition will be explored in this book. The difference from other career advice books is that this will take into account your introverted nature. It will take into account your preferences for alone time, rich conversation with one person at a time and other subtleties that make being an introvert different. You'll learn how to use your introverted strengths in your creative career and mitigate the blind-spots that you might experience. If that sounds like something that might help you, then this book is most definitely for you. How to make the most out of this book This book is divided into six sections: the key areas I've identified in working with hundreds of creative introverts in coaching and teaching settings. They are: 1) Prepare: Learn what you need to be at your best This section shows you how self-knowledge, mindset and positive psychology are foundational to creative career success. Without this foundation, taking action and applying all the nitty-gritty strategy will likely fall flat; you'll run into all sorts of sticking points and tie yourself in knots, if you don't have these firm foundations. You'll find out what you need in order to thrive: to be at your creative best, both internally and externally. There will be multiple quizzes so you can identify more about your own personality type and we'll explore the various routes to learning more about yourself, and how to apply this knowledge. 2) Plan: Get the clarity to move forward with confidence Next, you'll learn how to break down the daunting tasks of planning a career shift, starting a new project or building a creative business from scratch. You'll be guided through a process specifically tailored to creative introverts: including a new take on business planning that is not going to induce sleep. You'll gain clarity on what kind of life you're carving out for yourself, and how to remove the overwhelm from that grand concept, breaking down any size of dream into practical, actionable steps. This section will include helpful worksheets which can be filled in online or downloaded to print. 3) Produce: How To Actually Get Things Done If you've ever struggled with the procrastination gremlin, you'll be relieved to know that the battle ends here. You'll learn strategies and tools you can use in any situation to finally get it DONE. Regardless of your old habits and limiting beliefs, this section will help you find a way to make strides in anything you set your mind to: on your terms. 4) Promote: Time To Get Your Art Out! This is the section that many creative introverts will be most challenged by: but I promise you that this is where the biggest rewards lie. You'll learn how to market your work without feeling sleazy or pushy. You'll learn how to identify, attract and sell to your dream clients or customers and get the exposure you so deserve. Plus, you'll do it all in a way that suits your introverted nature. 5) Progress: Taking Stock and Correcting Course Throughout this book you'll find an emphasis on experimentation. This section is where this scientific approach comes into its own. You'll learn how to run your own experiments that will show you exactly what you're doing that is working, and what you need to tweak. The point is to have fun: this is more like the Mento and Diet Coke type of experiment than the Hadron Collider type of experiment. 6) People: Introverts Need Them Too Just because we're introverts doesn't mean we can do this all alone. People are on every corner of your creative journey, and learning how to manage these relationships effectively is going to be the make or break difference in your success. This section delves into collaboration, communication and energy management. Note: This is not a straight-forward how-to guide book. I encourage you to find your own formula. All I can give you is ingredients (Tips + Tools) and recipes (Action Steps) that myself and others have tried, and have found helpful. This is a bit of a ‘choose your own adventure', in that I want to give you as many options as possible to find what works best for you with your personality type and preferences. This was the good news I so badly wanted to be true when I started to understand myself better: that just because something that works for someone else didn't work for me, does not mean I'm a lost cause. It just means there is another way to get there. This book aims to show you the other way. If you're ready to get started and finally build a successful creative career that fits you like a tailor made glove, then let's get going!” Excerpt From: The Creative Introvert: How to Build a Business You Love on Your Terms    POWERED BY PATREON This podcast is made possible only by means of my generous supporters on Patreon.

What's your type? According to psychologists Carl Jung and Isabel Briggs- Myers, people can be divided into sixteen personality types that help them embrace their best qualities and minimize their worst. Join us this week as we reveal our types, break apart the unique personalities of each type, and give some fun facts that tell us more about all the personalities!

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is the most popular personality test in the world. It’s used regularly by Fortune 500 companies and lots of other organizations. Its language of personality types has inspired TV shows and online-dating platforms. Yet, experts in the field of psychometric testing have struggled to validate its results – let alone account for its success. Myers-Briggs was conceived in the 1920s by a pair of devoted homemakers, novelists, and amateur psychoanalysts, the mother-daughter team of Katherine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers. Their multiple-choice questionnaire would make its way from the smoke-filled boardrooms of mid-century New York to Berkeley, California, where it was administered to some of the twentieth century’s greatest creative minds. And it traveled on across the world to London, Zurich, Cape Town, Melbourne, and Tokyo. How did the homegrown Myers-Briggs questionnaire infiltrate our workplaces, our relationships, our Internet, our lives? Merve Emre, until recently an assistant professor of English at McGill, explores that story in her new book, "The Personality Brokers: the strange history of Myers-Briggs and the birth of personality testing". Prof. Emre, now an associate professor at Oxford, joined us in June to discuss the story, shortly before her move to the UK. Her book, published this month, has generated considerable buzz on both sides of the Atlantic. As a New York Times reviewer put it: “’The Personality Brokers’ is history that reads like biography that reads like a novel — a fluid narrative that defies expectations and plays against type.”

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (commonly seen as 'MBTI') is one of the greatest scams of our generation. Built on the work of Carl Jung, the mother-daughter pair of Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers in an effort to simpliply and COMPARTMENTALIZE (EEK!!!) people. Despite their best intentions, that is the inevitable pitfall of this test. Not to mention it is not consistent (reliable, in psycho-speak), let alone misleading. We spend today's episode debunking this popular tool (especially amongst) organizations and shed light on what it really is: A glorified Facebook quiz that is one step better than your IQ being determined by how many backwards words you can read... #puke. And by the way, it is pronounced 'Ni-key'. ;)

I have always had a fascination for personality tests, and the Myers Briggs Indicator has been the granddaddy of them all for decades.  My friend Jewel Kaste (meet her in Episode 4 of the podcast) has been diving deep into the MBTI for decades and is the perfect guest to share a clear and practical description of the traits and how they affect our lives in practical ways.  So fun!   Jewel's recommendations:   "Gifts Differing: Understanding Personality Type" by Isabel Briggs Myers   "Please Understand Me: Character and Temperament Types" by David Keirsey   "Nurture by Nature: Understand Your Child's Personality Type: by Paul D Tieger   www.thepersonalitypage.com  

You may well be familiar with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. It's one of the most recognised and used personality tests in the world. It is based on the psychological theory of Carl Jung along with Katherine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers. In this week's podcast I chat with Bo Miller, who is an author, blogger, podcaster, introvert, and certified Myers-Briggs practitioner. He helps people identify and maximise their unique gifts through his website, iSpeakPeople. It's a site for INFJs (a Myers-Briggs personality type). However, Bo publishes great stuff for introverts of all colours. You can download his free ebook, The INFJ Personality Guide, which is a fantastically in depth look at life as an INFJ. Criticisms of The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator I loved talking to Bo about the MBTI, and its use in our lives. Over the years of working with introverts and sensitive types I have come across various critics of the test. It was lovely to talk with Bo though, who recognises that while it is not perfect, it carries a huge amount of value. It helps us better understand ourselves, others, and maximise our own impact on the world. Escaping Tribalism and Reductionistic Language Conversations about introversion can be deterministic; a pre-determined set of characteristics and values. Introverts have no control over what they are capable of...and what they are incapable of. We are good at building walls around ourselves, using labels to justify the behaviours and attitudes we want to get away with. But this is not helpful, necessary, or healthy. What I love about Bo Miller's approach to this topic is that he sees the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator as a tool we can use to free ourselves. It's not a tool to label and thus restrict our self-understanding, but one to help us better understand who we are and how we can create conditions in our lives for the best way of being. It's important for all of us to embrace this approach. To enjoy the validation of recognising ourselves in a certain personality profile, whether that's as an INFJ. But then to use it as a way to understand ourselves within the context of the richly spiced variety of humanity, of which we are but one small speck. In the interview you will learn: Why the MBTI is still relevant today What it helps us understand about ourselves and other people Why Bo wanted to be a licensed practitioner Bo's favourite kind of resources to create (as a podcaster, writer, YouTube creator etc) What advice Bo would impart to his younger self if he could How Bo balances family, work and business life, without burning out Over to You What did you enjoy about this interview? Has it changed anything in your understanding of yourself as an introvert? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Support the Podcast and get bonus extras:
