1 The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator ® (MBTI) Step II
George Merchant Defense Systems Management College School of Program Managers

2 Thought for the Day “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” Carl Jung

3 MBTI Basics Seeks to identify four basic preferences
Does not measure traits or behavior: Rather, it reflects your habitual choice between rival alternatives Everyone does use both preferences of each scale, but not with equal liking Analogy: left handed vs right handed Source: Myers, I.B. & McCaulley, M.H. Manual: A Guide to Development and Use of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, 1985

4 Disclaimer MBTI Is: MBTI Is NOT:
A Potentially Powerful Self-Management Tool MBTI Is NOT: An Excuse for Inappropriate Behavior Highly Accurate for a Psychological Instrument The End-All and Be All; It Won’t Solve World Hunger

5 What the MBTI Does Shows different ways of assimilating information and making decisions Indicates relative clarity of individual preferences Provides knowledge useful in self- management Identifies gifts and blindspots for each type

6 What the MBTI Doesn’t Do
Measure excellence, skill or maturity in any of the preferences Evaluate or test you – there are no right or wrong answers Assess mental health or intelligence – there are no sick or well profiles Value judge – there are no good or bad types Pigeon-hole you into any category – we all use both sides of every scale every day

23 The Perceiving Function
Sensing (S) Concrete Realistic Practical Experiential Traditional Intuition (N) Abstract Imaginative Conceptual Theoretical Original

24 S: Concrete - N: Abstract (General Perception of World)
Prefer factual Literal & specific words Focus on “real” Want verification Value tangible Abhor abstractions See important meaning in ideas and abstractions Use tangible world for associations to get meaning Communicate with words which evoke associations Use words to imply, not specify.

25 S: Realistic - N: Imaginative (Developing Something New)
Focus on pragmatic What makes a real difference? Efficiency goals Value things for utility Value “common sense” Focus on possibilities Images are important Value creativity Challenge tried & true “Conventional Wisdom” Solution idea may not work

26 S: Practical - N: Conceptual (Product/Outcome of Perception)
Prefer practical application Value known methods & process Builders more than innovators Like certainty, hate vague (“it all depends”) Oriented to details of daily living Seek meanings Focus on inference Enjoy making connections (ideas) Value abstract intellectual discourse Enjoy people with quick minds

27 S: Experiential - N: Theoretical (Making Knowledge/Meaning)
Validate by real experience Wary of theory Want specific instructions Pleasure from expertly applying their experience If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Discern meanings Search for patterns Love/ponder theory Enjoy making connections (ideas) Enjoy chaos theory Learn better given theory and context.

28 S: Traditional - N: Original (Social Context)
Prefer the way we have always done it. Security from fitting in to group/community Conformists Like certainty, hate vague (“it all depends”) Follow traditions and not fads Want deliberate, evolving change Dislike repetition and sameness Inspired to do different Enjoy variations (jazz?) Value original dress and methods Eccentricity is a virtue Want re-invention and wholesale change

31 The Judging Function Thinking (T) Logical Reasonable Questioning
Critical Tough Feeling (F) Empathetic Compassionate Accommodating Accepting Tender

32 T: Logical – F: Empathetic (Judgment Criteria)
Analysis Using Reason Assumptions, Facts, Rules Disagree But Respect Generalized & Impersonal Principles Rights & Fairness Framework of Relationships Life Experience & Personal Meanings Logic = One of Many Human Characteristics Truth is Both Personal & Universal Feelings > Rights

33 T: Reasonable – F: Compassionate (Maintaining Relationships)
Relationships are Task-Focused Caring Through Analysis & Problem-Solving Consistent Equitable Distribution of Positives & Negatives Personalized & Interconnected World Relate Through Shared Experience Judgments Based on Mercy Uniqueness of People Value Recognition Based on Relationships

Detached, Impersonal Truth Questioning Solves Problems Find Common Ground Truth Independent of Personalities Socially Defined Reality Focus on Own & Others’ Understanding Questioning = Attack Consensus Builders Avoid Hurting Feelings

35 T: Critical – F: Accepting (Post-Judgment Activity)
Set Things Right Honesty Over Tact Notice What’s Wrong Before What’s Right No Compromise: Hurt Feelings Will Recover, Bad Decisions Last High Standards Truth in Ideas & Viewpoints Open to Others’ Views Affirmation Ahead of Being Correct Maintain Harmony

36 T: Tough – F: Tender (Carrying Out Decisions)
Stand Firm No Compromise “Do it right” Distrust Use of Feelings, Attachments Not Worried About Popularity of Decision Effects Outweigh Logic Well-Being is Central “Do the right thing” May Stand Firm, But Will Use Warmth in Conveying

39 Life Style Orientation
Judging (J) Systematic Planful Early Starting Scheduled Methodical Perceiving (P) Casual Open-Ended Pressure-Prompted Spontaneous Emergent

40 J: Systematic - P: Casual (Organizing Our Environment)
Methodical approach to tasks Schedule tasks Use structure Predict and meet deadlines Hate inefficiency, clutter and waste Hate chaos or indecision (“right or wrong, move out!) Spontaneous approach Open to new and fresh ways to do things Like variety Easy going on schedules, deadlines and decisions Use loose unstructured aproach May postpone important decisions until satisfied all sides are considered.

41 J: Planful - P: Open ended (Arranging Leisure/Social Time)
Prefer definite schedule for leisure time Do long range planning Will not take last minute options since their time is previously scheduled Like certainty in their life schedule Prefer unscheduled leisure time Do what is most interesting at the moment May cancel earlier plans to do something different (better) Value freedom to chose as they go (with the flow)

42 J: Scheduled - P: Spontaneous (Structure to Daily Activities)
Prefer routine Predictable and productive flow of tasks and activities Rituals of daily and seasonal activity Adapt to “daytimers” Energized by variety Find routine painful Enjoy freedom to decide what to do and when Introduce variety into their work Hate being “stuck in a rut” of life routine (want to “ride to the ridge where the West commences…”

43 J: Methodical - P: Emergent (Sequencing Smaller Tasks)
Make Lists Arrange Materials in Order Contact People Well in Advance Remind Those People Read Directions Before Starting Discover as They Go Don’t Usually Start at First Step (May Not Do Steps in Order) Prefer Looser, Less Structured Approach Trial & Error Read Directions as Last Resort

44 J: Early Starting - P: Pressure Prompted (Managing Time)
Prefer starting tasks early Are stressed by needing to work at last minute to meet deadlines Their stress of coping with deadline may erupt and impact relationships Want to know their tasks early (so they can start early) Feel like failures when they miss deadline Do their best under deadline time pressure Find it hard to work without deadline Put off work until last minute (but they are thinking) May not know how long it will take to do something May lose enthusiasm and idea effectiveness if finishing early
