What do the types mean? Breaking them down…

Extraversion vs. Introversion Do you focus on the outer world or inner world? Do you ask a lot of questions in class? Do you talk to other people a lot to get ideas? If so, you’re probably an Extravert. Do you prefer to think to yourself and then speak? If so, you’re probably an Introvert.

Sensing vs. Intuition Do you focus on basic information, or do you interpret and add meaning? How do you give someone directions to get somewhere? Map and street names- Sensing Landmarks- Intuition

Thinking vs. Feeling When making decisions, do you look at facts and logic, or do you consider people and their special circumstances? Case: You are the human resources manager at a company. Your boss tells you that you have to lay off 3 people out of 10. There is a variety of employee age and experience ranges. How do you decide who to lay off?

Judging vs. Perceiving Do you prefer to get things done, or keep your options open? When working on a class group project, Judgers often initiate tasks to be completed as soon as possible. Perceivers often bring in new ideas throughout the entire process. How can both of these types work together?
