First,What factors that make each personality different?


 

The first question is from were do you get your energy from?


  • E stands for Extravert

  • I stands for Introvert

In general all people are either an introvert or extrovert at some point in different situations or through their life. But the test is actually looks for what you dominantly lean into. It doesn't mean that you are completely an introvert or an extrovert because no one is that extreme. It is more of what do you prefer in most situations do you feel exhausted around people sometimes?

Even if you like spending time with people you get tired and need to recharge by spending time with yourself?

Do you prefer working alone to be more productive?

These are signs that you are an introvert (I).

If you are a people person and like working with groups and enjoy gatherings than it is probably a sign that you are an extrovert (E). Some people can be actually very popular with people but in truth they are actually introverts that's why its not very easy to know if you an introvert or an extrovert and almost half of the population are inverter and extrovert.



 

How do you collect your information?

Is it based on sensing or intuition?


S for sensing

N for intuitive


If you are a sensing personality you would prefer things that are based on physical evidence or data. Sensors (S) usually are at good at paying attention to detail. But more then that sensors like to focus on what is know and facts rather then assumptions, they are sensors because they use their five senses to collect information. So they focus on the now then the future.

Subjects that needs a lot of assumptions and theories are not there favorite topics as well as politics. Sensors like tradition and following the rules.


Intuitive (N) people are creative people and like to see the whole picture rather then the details. They think about the future and about making changes they are dreamers. They can talk for hours about politics or theories. But focus too much on the future then the present. They usually rely on their sixth sense as a way to collect information that's what makes them intuitive.



 

How do you make your conclusions bases on feelings or thinking?


F for feelings

T for thinking


This can be straight forward to understand if you are a person who make your judgment based on your feelings or as we say listen to your heart then you are a feelings(F) personality. In addition people who have feeling function tend to be quite sensitive and because of that they have the power to understanding others emotions.

However if you are a more rational person than you are a thinker (T). It is actually more common for men to be thinkers and women to more feeling function.


 

How do you live your life?

Are you perceiver or judger?


P For Perceiver

J for Judging


Judger (J) are able to make decisions fast and jump to conclusions and perceivers (P) tend to wait before making decisions and want to collect information as much as possible. If there was a deadline and one was a perceiver and the other was a judger, then the judger would rather finish their task as soon as possible to jump to the next project. Perceviers (P) on the other hand tend to leave the task for the last minute just because they want to collect as much information as possible.


 

Each personality is presented with a J or a P in the end the J and P personality is not a function but it was created to point out which of the other functions are dominant....

If you are a (J) judger you express your extroverted function as the most strongest function

thinking or feeling ( extroverted functions)

or

If you are a P perceiver you express introverted functions the most like

Sensing or Intuition (Introverted function)


So for example if you are an ENTJ then the most dominant function you express is thinking which is an extroverted function.


Or if you are an ISFP then you express the introverted function the most which is your sensing as your power function.
