Jung Typology Test

According to Carl Jung's typology, all people can be characterized using the following three criteria:

Extraversion - Introversion Sensing - Intuition Thinking - Feeling

Isabel Briggs Myers added a fourth criterion:

Judging - Perceiving

These four criteria are called dichoto!ies since each of the! represent a continuu! between two opposite poles" The first criterion, Extraversion Introversion, signifies the source and direction of a person#s energy e$pression" An e$tra%ert#s source and direction of energy e$pression is !ainly in the e$ternal world, while an intro%ert has a source of energy !ainly in their own internal world" The second criterion, Sensing Intuition, represents the !ethod by which so!eone percei%es infor!ation" &ensing !eans that a person !ainly belie%es infor!ation he or she recei%es directly fro! the e$ternal world" Intuition !eans that a person belie%es !ainly infor!ation he or she recei%es fro! the internal or i!aginati%e world" The third criterion, Thinking Feeling, represents how a person processes infor!ation" Thin'ing !eans that a person !a'es a decision !ainly through logic" (eeling !eans that, as a rule, he or she !a'es a decision based on e!otion, i"e" based on what they feel they should do" The fourth criterion, Judging Perceiving, reflects how a person i!ple!ents the infor!ation he or she has processed" Judging !eans that a person organizes all of his life e%ents and, as a rule, stic's to his plans" )ercei%ing !eans that he or she is inclined to i!pro%ise and e$plore alternati%e options" The different possible co!binations of preferences deter!ine si$teen personality types" *ach type can be assigned an acrony! +or for!ula, according to the first letters of the co!bination of the preferences in each of the four criteria" (or e$a!ple: ISTJ - Introvert Sensing Thinking Judging -r: ENFP - Extravert iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving .u!an!etrics# Jung Typology Test/ deter!ines an indi%idual's personality type and scores the e$pressi%eness of preferences in of each of the three Jungian di!ensions +*$tra%ersion %s" Intro%ersion, &ensing %s" Intuition, Thin'ing %s" (eeling, as well of the additional di!ension +Judging %s" )ercei%ing, proposed by Isabel Briggs Myers" The scales of dichoto!ies represent a continuu! between two opposite poles, fro! 011 at one pole to 011 at the opposite pole" I"e" the *$tra%ert2 Intro%ert di!ension is a continuu! fro! 011 on *$tra%ersion +i"e" a respondent is 0113 e$tra%ert, to 011 on Intro%ersion +i"e" a respondent is 0113 intro%ert," In other words, the scale is 411 units long: Extravert 50113 2 2 2 13 2 2 2 01136 Introvert Most indi%iduals possess features of both poles but typically ha%e a preference of one way o%er the other" The letter indicates the direction of the preference and the percentage indicates the strength of the preference toward one pole o%er the other" The *2I score of 13 !eans the respondent is on the borderline between being an e$tra%ert and an intro%ert" .a%ing an *$tra%ersion score of greater than 1 2 e"g" 413 2 !eans being 413 !ore slanted toward *$tra%ersion o%er Intro%ersion" .a%ing an Intro%ersion score of greater than 1 2 e"g" 413 2 !eans being 413 !ore slanted toward Intro%ersion o%er *$tra%ersion" The sa!e pertains to the &27, T2(, and J2) dichoto!ies"

ENTJs often find themselves in occupations that require good analytical and planning skills. ENTJs build successful careers in the areas requiring considerable organizational skills and intellectual efforts, presenting a challenge, and calling for creativity. They are greatly represented in technological and management consulting companies among engineers and developers, and among high- and midrank managers. They are also able to realize their potential in start-ups here they often fulfill management positions or take responsibility for the hole pro!ect.
