MBTI Myths « INTJ Information It’s not a “Test” The MBTI is not a test — it’s not measuring anything — it’s an “Indicator” (hence the “I” at the end). It indicates which of the Jungian cognitive processes we prefer. It’s like determining whether someone is left- or right-handed. It’s not a “Model” Sometimes people talk about the MBTI as though it were a personality model or a theory in itself. The 4-letter codes are meaningless Well, maybe that’s a bit strong, but it is true to say that Isabel Briggs Myers developed her 4-letter code as a shorthand way of identifying which of Jung’s 8 cognitive processes were preferred. Unfortunately, over the years, many have latched onto those 4 letters as having a “life of their own” and have gone to the trouble of (erroneously) developing descriptions for each. The Myers Briggs Foundation and the Association for Psychological Type (APT) are trying to rectify this situation, but the weight of past literature is against them. The scores are not strengths

Myers Briggs Personality Types Personality Types: Development & Myers-Briggs MBTI theory The Faces of Personality Type Development By Ross Reinhold, INTJ This article is an introduction to a system for understanding the dynamics of personal growth and personality development, using the language and concepts developed by Carl Jung, Isabel Myers, Katharine Briggs and the personality system that has developed around the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)*. The Faces model is based on the theory of eight mental functions, developed by John Beebe, Harold Grant and other Jungian theorists. Readers unfamiliar with this theory can obtain an introduction by reading the Ken Green article in the "Best of the Bulletin of Psychological Type" (Volume 1, Chapter 2). The Appendix at the end of this article also will be helpful. Two-Faces The idea of a duality in character or personality is not new in psychology, literature, nor our everyday relationships with people. The diagrams below illustrates this pattern for ENFP.

Myers-Briggs Typology System What is the Myers-Briggs System?

It is an adaptation of the psychological typology of the famous Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung. There are three terms that you will need to become familiar with in this system if you want to understand it better. Myers-Briggs lists four pairs of opposite preferences. (1) Extraverting (E) versus Introverting (I) Where we prefer to focus our attention and what energizes us (2) Sensing (S) versus iNtuiting (N) How we prefer to take in information (3) Thinking (T) versus Feeling (F) How we evaluate information and make decisions (4) Judging (J) versus Perceiving (P) What lifestyle we prefer Click on List of Keywords for Each Preference if you want to understand what each of these preferences means.

Life without language Thought without symbols — life without language — it’s a cognitive reality that is virtually impossible for most modern humans to fathom. For the vast majority of us, our thought processes have been profoundly shaped by the introjection of language into our cognitive worlds, the taking on board of a massive intellectual prosthesis, the collective product of countless generations. Human thought, for the majority, is not simply the individual outcome of our evolved neural architecture, but also the result of our borrowing of the immense symbolic and intellectual resources available in language. What would human thought be like without language? The question of the relationship between language and ‘mind’ (a word I hate using), or between symbolic resources and cognitive abilities (there, that’s equally vague!) We might try to imagine thinking without language, but, of course, we’d be doing that with language itself. Schaller meets Ildefonso I walked up to him and signed, “Hello. Stumble It!
Keirsey Temperament Sorter Heading text[edit] The Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS) is a self-assessed personality questionnaire designed to help people better understand themselves and others. It was first introduced in the book Please Understand Me. It is one of the most widely used personality assessments in the world, and its user base consists of major employers including Bank of America, Allstate, the U.S. Air Force, IBM, 7-Eleven, Safeco, AT&T, and Coca-Cola.[1] The KTS is closely associated with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI); however, there are significant practical and theoretical differences between the two personality questionnaires and their associated different descriptions. Four temperaments[edit] David Keirsey expanded on the ancient study of temperament by Hippocrates and Plato. Artisans are concrete and adaptable. Guardians are concrete and organized. Idealists are abstract and compassionate. Rationals are abstract and objective. Understanding the sorter descriptions[edit] See also[edit]
Gaslighting in relationships: How to spot it and shut it down The term has been everywhere since Donald Trump’s inauguration, so much so that the Oxford Dictionaries named it one of the most popular words of 2018: gaslighting. It hasn’t just seeped into our lexicon. It is now part of how we acquire information. In the vernacular, the phrase “to gaslight” refers to the act of undermining another person’s reality by denying facts, the environment around them, or their feelings. If a wife tells her husband that he is shirking child care responsibilities and he responds by refusing to acknowledge that it’s even happening, he is gaslighting her. Maybe we’re all being gaslighted by the president or other political figures. I’m a licensed psychoanalyst and the associate director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, and over the years, I have spoken with hundreds of people experiencing gaslighting in their personal lives. In one pivotal scene, Gregory causes the gaslights in the house to flicker by turning them on in the attic of the house.
Neuro-linguistic programming Not to be confused with Natural language processing (also NLP) Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California, United States in the 1970s. Its creators claim a connection between the neurological processes ("neuro"), language ("linguistic") and behavioral patterns learned through experience ("programming") and that these can be changed to achieve specific goals in life.[1][2] Bandler and Grinder claim that the skills of exceptional people can be "modeled" using NLP methodology, then those skills can be acquired by anyone.[3][4][5][6][7] Bandler and Grinder also claim that NLP can treat problems such as phobias, depression, habit disorder, psychosomatic illnesses, myopia,[8] allergy, common cold,[9] and learning disorders, often in a single session.[10][11][12][13] NLP has been adopted by some hypnotherapists and in seminars marketed to business and government.[14][15]
