(All types are equal, there is no “best type”. The goal of knowing about your
personality type is to understand and appreciate differences between people.)
This abbreviated version of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator helps to measure your
personality preferences at this time in your life. Your personality preference may
change slightly over time, however, research has shown that people tend to remain
within the same preference area most of their life.
Knowing your personality type not only increases your awareness of your interaction
with others, it can also assist you in finding a career that matches your personality
preferences.
