Chapter 1: Personality Types

Introduction

You carry an invisible identity that can be used to differentiate you from others. This identity is composed of natural preferences, some of which you have never even given thought. When all these preferences are combined, they can be used to assign you a certain personality type. To understand this better, cross your arms. You will observe that you will prefer to have a specific hand on top of the other. While you can still cross the arms in the opposite way, it will feel less natural and more forced. Now try winking severally with one eye. You will observe that winking with a specific eye feels easier and more natural than trying to force the other eye. Your life is littered with natural preferences that you make without much thought. For instance, you have crossed your hands in the same way for a long period of time and have never thought about the hand that goes on top of the other. Similarly, it is not the first time you have winked. You have winked before with preference to a specific eye and have never given thought about it.

Your natural preferences determine your personality type. Personality types are derived from four main preferences; gaining energy, gathering information, making decisions and living your life. These four are used in what is referred to as the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) framework to identify the personality types of people. The MBTI framework is the most accurate personality type identifier since it is based on natural habits. Understanding the personality of people can help you predict their actions or get a better perspective of their decisions. Understanding your own perspective is even more important as it helps you understand yourself and realize what is naturally easy or hard for you.

Personality identifiers

According to the MBTI framework, humans can be grouped into personality types based on the four identifiers listed earlier. The following is a broader discussion of these identifiers:

a) Personality identifiers based on energy

The first pair of personality identifiers is extroversion and introversion. It is noteworthy that these are preferences, not skills.

Extroverts (E)

These are people that prefer to give out energy. They will, therefore, tend to go out a lot, be in touch with a lot of people and remain socially active. The positive aura they give off to others will bounce back to them and in turn, they will feel always charged. Extroverts are highly likely to be motivated but are prone to more mistakes. They are also socially active and may form new friends with ease. They are expressive of their emotions which might also vary quickly depending on their surroundings. Extroverts are likely to talk for long and skip from an idea to the other. In meetings, they will mostly want to contribute something. They will also be welcoming to interruptions as they feel that such exchanges validate the subject they are discussing about. However, extroverts can have a hard time when secluded and can feel lonely when outside their social circles.

Introverts (I)

Introverts tend to prefer receiving energy, not giving it out. They tend to be active mentally and process lots of ideas inside their head without voicing their opinions. They therefore comfortably live inside their heads where they create their own energy. They prefer to remain silent but keenly listening to what is said in meetings. They thrive in quiet environments and tend to only have a few friends.

Most people can easily tell that they are either extroverts or introverts. However, just like crossing your arms, this is just a preference. Therefore, you are vested with both of these only that you naturally prefer one over the other. That is why some extroverts, later on, revert to introversion and vice versa. For instance, some people grew up extroverted while young. They were interactive with visitors, very active in childhood games, outspoken and expressive of their emotions. However, as they grew up and became exposed to different environments, they changed and became introverts.

The most important thing to know is that you can at times switch your preference of being either introverted or extroverted depending on the environment you are in.  If you fixate yourself to a single preference, it will not always work in your favor. You should learn therefore learn to be flexible with your personality because naturally, you can.

b) Personality identifiers depending on how we gather data

There are two personality identifiers in this category; sensual and intuitive. 

Sensual (S)

Sensual people are simple because they are always after real, practical things. They will be critical of facts. They may be fixated on believing on empirical-based evidence and outcomes. They do not carry out inventions or innovations. They get used to following laid down procedures in anything they do. They feel most confident when following examples set by other people.

Intuitive (N)

Intuitive people are on the contrary looking for interpretations of what they see or hear in order to determine the full picture. They will not just look at the bare facts, instead, they will want to know what these facts mean. Intuitive people like to work with what is considered abstract. They will want to wander off with thoughts until they can make a sense of something. History is full of inventors and innovators that were intuitive people. They dared to think about what was regarded as impossible or tried to lay grounds for what had not been done. Albert Einstein laid down the theory of relativity through intuition and piecing together all he knew about space and time into a coherent piece that made scientific sense. Thomas Edson dared to imagine that a small piece of wire inside a bulb could be used for light and replace archaic wick lamps.

c) Personality identifiers depending on decision making

Thinking (T) and feeling (F)

The way people make decisions can be used to determine their personalities. There are two main categories; thinking (T) and feeling (F). Thinking people are logical and they want to understand everything. Thinking personalities will make decisions based on their advantages and disadvantages. They will also treat people the same. Feeling personalities will take decisions based on value systems. They will generally not take decisions that may compromise their values regardless of the advantages they stand to gain. Feeling people treat people flexibly depending on their individual needs.

d) Personality identifiers based on living life

Judging (J) and perceiving (P)

The last pair used to determine people’s personalities is on how they live their lives. There are two identifiers in this category; judging (J) and perceiving (P). Judging people prefer living their lives according to their rules. They will also take prompt and long-term decisions. Perceiving people, on the contrary, prefer to go with the herd mentality and do what others are doing. They might also take more time and be flexible in decision making.

16 personality traits

All the above preferences make up the MBTI framework which can be effectively used to place people
