Document Summary
The myers-briggs model (i. e. , type theory) describes people in terms of four preferences. For each of the preferences there are two possible choices. The four preferences and their accompanying choices are: extraversion (e) introversion (i, sensing (s) intuiting (n, thinking (t) feeling (f, judging (j) perceiving (p) The combination of these preferences makes up an individual"s psychological type. (note: we prefer and chose one way of doing things over another. However, we are not exclusively one way or another; rather we have a preference for extraversion or introversion, just as we have a preference for right-handedness or left-handedness. Myers-briggs argues that no preference is better than another. In fact, what is desired is to have a balance between these preferences. : extraversion/introversion: The extraversion/introversion preference represents where you get your energy. The extravert (e) is energized by interaction with other people. The introvert (i) is energized by time alone.
