MBTI /Jung Typology

In the business field, MBTI Personality Type Instrument is a very famous tool for team building and conflict management, with more than 2 million people taking it annually. MBTI typology classifies people into 16 types by 4 dichromatic preference-pairs:

1. Extraversion (E) – Introversion (I)
2. Sensing (S) – Intuition (N)
3. Thinking (T) – Feeling (F)
4. Judging (J) – Perceiving (P)

The official instruments can only be administrated by qualified administrators because unqualified administrators may interpret the results wrongly and deliver a wrong message to the audiences.

If you want to get an idea about what it is, you may try a similar test by clicking this link: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp
When you are filling the questionnaires, remember to choose the answers that truly reflect your OWN preference. Please bear the following principles in mind when you are taking the test:

1. Please ignore others’ opinion and influences. Ask yourself, if you are free to choose without concerning about others’ comments, what will you choose?

2. Please choose an answer that you like and feel more comfortable. Please do not choose an answer based on “how I should behave” or “what is an ideal answer”.

3. When you are answering some situational questions, be caution! Don’t take others’ expectation into consideration (e.g. your boss)! That is not your true self! That is your ideal self created by the society or others!

After you have filled in the questionnaires, please visit http://www.personalitypage.com/portraits.html
Choose your type and see whether it describe you correctly. If you like, you can visit the Career section, Relationship section, and Personal Growth section in this website.

Please feel free to ask my questions about the test. I will try my best to answer.

I would like to invite you to share with us your Personality Type by leaving a comment.
It is the best to understand your type by communicating with other types. Let’s start our exploration together!

Enjoy^^

Free Personality Test Blog Launch

Personality test and Peraonslity Quiz are valuable tools for us to understand ourselves, to improve ourselves, to build better relationship with others, to discover our potentials, and to improve our career development.

I know that many people like to take online personality test and online personality quiz because they are convenient and easy to administer. The most important attractiveness is FREE. Same as all of you, I also like to take personality tests and personality quizzes free of charge online.

I am a Psychology graduate with First Class Honours and have strong interest in personality tests and personality quizzes. If you really want to take a personality test and get benefits from it, it is necessary for you to take accurate tests only. Unfortunately, most of the online personality tests are not developed by professional psychologists. Some of them are quite accurate, but some of them are not. If you improve yourself based on the wrong information given by the inaccurate personality test, you may become an even worse person. If you do not want to take the wrong personality test, please visit this blog frequently. I would like to pick up some good personality tests and share with all of you in this blog, with my comments and recommendations.

Personality test and personality quiz should be valid and reliable. However, many free online personality tests and personality quizzes are not supported by sufficient research. Please be caution when you are going to interpret the result.

All comments and recommendations written in this blog are only my personal sharing. If you really want to understand yourself and improve yourself, please contact a professional psychologist or a qualified administrator of a particular instrument.
