The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a psychometric assessment…
…which determines how people interact with the world around them.
1913: Carl Jung introduced his
typology theory at the Munich Psychological
Congress
1917-40s: Katharine Briggs researched personality, and
developed a four-type framework based on
Jung’s typology theory
1929-40s: Isabel Briggs Myers,
Katharine’s daughter, helps
out with her mother’s research
1942: The "Briggs-Myers
Type Indicator" was created
A Brief History:
The MBTI is often used in…• pedagogy• counseling (career, marriage, etc.)• professional development• personal development• and more
Why Myers-Briggs?• I took a couple of free tests online a few
years ago• The results were surprisingly accurate• It provoked my curiosity, but I had never
taken the time to understand it until now

There are Eight psychological preferences which are split into four pairs of dichotomies.
A person’s type is made of the four letters which represent their preference in each dichotomy.
Extroversion Introversion
Sensing iNtuition
Thinking Feeling
Judging Perceiving
Extroversion vs IntroversionSource of Mental Energy
A preference for extroversion indicates that the person
naturally focuses on the external world, and gains energy from
socializing, participating in activities, excitements, etc.
A preference for introversion indicates that the person naturally focuses on their
internal world, and gains energy from their own interests,
thoughts, ideas, and imagination.
Sensing vs iNtuitionMethod of Retention
If sensing is preferred, the person understands and stores
information in a sequential, factual, and detailed manner. They work best with sensory details of the present reality.
If intuition is preferred, the person understands and stores information in patterns which explain the “big picture” of a concept. They work best with
information from which one may imagine multiple interpretations.

Preferring thinking implies that the person makes decisions based
on information which they have analyzed in an objective manner.
Personal issues have no real weight in the decision-making
process.
Thinking vs FeelingWhat Influences Decisions
Preferring feeling suggests that the person makes decision based on their own values and biases.
They are subjective, and personal issues, including those of others,
have weight in their decision-making.
One who prefers judging is very planned and prepared. They
avoid stress using time-management and frequently use
deadlines and routines to organize a schedule for tasks.
Judging vs PerceivingTiming of Actions
One who prefers perceiving is very adaptable and is receptive to
sudden changes in their surroundings ; they will multitask or pause a project out of the blue if a sudden opportunity for action arises. An approaching deadline
will stimulate maximum efficiency.

Type dynamics describe how the four preferences of a person’s MBTI type work together.
Sensing, intuition, thinking, and feeling are mental functions; they are used for perception and judgment. Although each
type only shows two of these functions, a person of any type will use all four, however in a specific order of preference:
Dominant>Auxiliary>Tertiary>Inferior
Extroversion, introversion, judging, and perceiving are attitudes; they affect the structure and focus of one’s life.
Attitudes determine the order and orientation (inner vs outer world) of the mental functions.
E/I S/N T/F J/P
Dominant and Auxiliary Functions
The dominant function is one’s most developed function. Extroverts use it in the external world, and introverts use it in the
internal world because those are their preferred orientations.
The auxiliary function is one’s second most used function, and balances the dominant function; if the dominant is S or N, the
auxiliary must be T or F.
Dominant and Auxiliary Functions
For example, if the auxiliary function is T or F, it will help dominant S or N, used for taking in information, make a decision. If S and N were both dominant and auxiliary, one would hardly be
capable of making a decision, only taking in new information.Furthermore, if the dominant function is extroverted, the
auxiliary must be introverted, and vice versa; having preferences in both worldly orientations is a necessity.
How Attitudes Determine DominancePreferred Judging or Perceiving is always extroverted.
T and F are methods of decision-making, which ties them closely to the judging attitude.
An ENTJ will have dominant T because they prefer Judging, and their dominant function is extroverted. An INTJ would not have dominant T because they prefer the inner world, meaning that
their dominant function is introverted. Again, because preferred attitudes are always extroverted, and the INTJ prefers judging
over perceiving, T must be the auxiliary function, which is extroverted.
E & J Dom: T or F I & J Dom: S or N
How Attitudes Determine DominancePreferred Judging or Perceiving is always extroverted.
S and N are methods of taking in information, which ties them closely to the perceiving attitude.
An ESFP will have dominant S because they prefer perceiving, and their dominant function is extroverted. An ISFP would not have dominant S because they prefer the inner world, meaning that
their dominant function is introverted. Again, because preferred attitudes are always extroverted, and the ISFP prefers perceiving
over judging, S must be the auxiliary function, which is extroverted.
E & P Dom: S or N I & P Dom: T or F
Tertiary and Inferior Functions
The tertiary is the opposite of the auxiliary function, and the inferior is the opposite of the dominant function. They do not appear in one’s type. These functions are underdeveloped and
one will have few skills associated with them.If these functions do appear, it is often during times of stress, and not in one’s conscious control. As a result, these functions
may occur in immature ways.The development of these functions occurs midlife, when both
the dominant and auxiliary are fully developed.

Of the ICT skills, I believed that I lacked in Creativity and Innovation, because I had not met the following standard in the “Grade 12 - Look Fors” of the ICT Standards PDF:• Invent a digital learning resource or simulation such as a game, picture
book, adventure choice, terminology rolodex (e.g., presentation, animation, simulation creation, mind mapping, programming software)
This PowerPoint is a digital learning resource. Besides its menu, it also incorporates a very interactive segment: the Mini Type Indicator, which is meant to very broadly simulate the actual Myers Briggs Type Indicator.
Other requirements from the “Grade 12 - Look Fors” of the ICT Standards PDF which this PowerPoint meets are as follows: • Digitally photograph and/or create digital images incorporating text using
presentation software• Create a podcast, digital presentation, ePortfolio, or webpage• Create new ideas, products, or processes using a combination of
technologiesTo elaborate on the last “Look For”, I used both PowerPoint and Photoshop to create this PowerPoint. Photoshop was necessary for a multitude of the images, beyond the backgrounds, used in this PowerPoint.
I am particularly proud of my backgrounds.The purpose of the PowerPoint was in my mind while I created them:• The design is simple, with the
letters used in MBTI types at the tops and the bottoms of the slides, in order not to distract from the information on them.
• The gradients allow for fluid movement between slides; for once I used dynamic transitions which were not just fades, without taking away from the professionalism of the PowerPoint.

Type Indicator
Disclaimer: This is an extremely simplified version of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, and thus is not 100% accurate. It forces the taker to choose between a mutually exclusive dichotomy, when
most people fall in a spectrum of the two options. This test is meant to give the taker an idea of what type they may be.
Be sure to click on the underlined text of each button, not the background of the text!
Extrovert or Introvert?
I am an Extrovert
An extrovert…• feels energized through
interaction with others
• is inspired by their environment, people and things
• takes action quickly
• prefers to have a lot of associates for variety and change
I am an Introvert
An introvert…• feels refreshed with an adequate
amount of alone time
• is inspired internally; has a dynamic mind that is closed off to others
• reflects for a while prior to taking action
• prefers communication with one person at a time, and relations with few at a time
