Are you ready to discover the inner workings of your mind? The Myers-Briggs personality test is here to reveal all! Okay, well, maybe not all, but at least some. And who doesn’t love a good personality assessment? Let’s start with the basics. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was created by mother-daughter duo Catherine Briggs and Isabel Myers. It’s based on the work of Swiss psychologist Carl Jung and categorizes people into 16 personality types based on their preferences for how they interact with the world around them. Now, I know what you’re thinking. “But wait, I’m a unique and special snowflake! How can I be lumped into just one of 16 categories?” Well, my dear friend, that’s the beauty of the MBTI. It acknowledges that we all have different strengths and weaknesses, but it also recognizes that our personality traits tend to fall into consistent patterns. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the world of Myers-Briggs personality types with some hilarious charts and memes.
Chart One: The Disc Personality Test
Now, you may be wondering what the heck the “DISC” type is. Well, my friend, it stands for Dominant, Influential, Steady, and Compliant. These four categories represent different ways people tend to interact with others and react to their environment. For example, if you’re dominant, you’re probably a take-charge kind of person who likes to get things done efficiently. If you’re influential, you’re probably great at making connections and influencing others. If you’re steady, you’re probably a calm and reliable presence who avoids conflict. And if you’re compliant, you’re probably someone who values rules and structure. So, where do you fall on the DISC spectrum? Take the test and find out! Then come back here and let me know your results so we can bond over our newfound self-awareness.
Chart Two: The MBTI Compatibility Chart
Okay, now that we’ve established our own personality types, let’s talk about how we can get along with others. After all, we don’t live in a vacuum, and chances are we’ll encounter others whose personalities are different from our own. Enter the MBTI Compatibility Chart. This handy dandy guide breaks down which types tend to get along best with each other and which types may clash. It’s important to note that no two people are exactly alike, and there are always exceptions to the rule, but this chart can be a helpful guide to understanding why we may struggle to get along with certain people. I, for one, am an INFP (more on that later), and according to this chart, I tend to get along well with ENFJs (which is lucky because my best friend is one!), and I may struggle with ISTPs (which is funny because my dad is one).
Chart Three: The Myers-Briggs Matrix
Now, this chart may look a bit intimidating, but bear with me. The Myers-Briggs Matrix breaks down each personality type into four categories: 1. Energy - extraversion (E) vs. introversion (I) 2. Information - sensing (S) vs. intuition (N) 3. Decision-making - thinking (T) vs. feeling (F) 4. Lifestyle - judging (J) vs. perceiving (P) Basically, each category represents a different way in which we interact with the world around us. Extraverts prefer to focus on the external world, while introverts prefer to focus on their internal world. Sensors rely on concrete facts and details, while intuitives rely on their intuition and imagination. Thinkers base their decisions on logic and analysis, while feelers base their decisions on their emotions and values. Judgers prefer structure and organization, while perceivers prefer flexibility and spontaneity. Using these four categories, Myers-Briggs categorizes people into 16 different types. For example, my type, INFP, stands for Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving. This means that I tend to focus on my own internal experiences, rely on my intuition and imagination, base my decisions on my emotions and values, and prefer flexibility and spontaneity over structure and organization. So, which Myers-Briggs type are you? And more importantly, which hilarious meme or gif perfectly encapsulates your personality?
Meme One: The Five-Factor Model
Okay, I lied. This chart has nothing to do with the Myers-Briggs type indicator. But it does have to do with another popular personality assessment, the Five-Factor Model. The Five-Factor Model (FFM) breaks down personality into five broad categories: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Whereas Myers-Briggs focuses more on how we process information and make decisions, FFM focuses on more general personality traits. This chart uses the FFM to categorize different types of people, from “the drama queen” to “the overthinker” to “the life of the party.” It’s not scientific by any means, but it sure is fun to see where you fall on the spectrum.
Printable Myers-Briggs Personality Test
Now that we’ve laughed at some memes and charts, let’s get serious for a second. If you want to take the Myers-Briggs personality test for yourself, you can do so with this free printable test. Just a heads up, though: the official MBTI assessment is not free. It’s designed to be administered by certified professionals and costs money to take. However, there are plenty of free assessments available online that are based on the same principles as the official assessment. So, whether you decide to take the official assessment or just the free printable test, I hope it helps you gain a little more insight into your own personality. And remember, no matter what your results are, you’re still a unique and special snowflake.
Character Charts
Last but not least, let’s end on a fun note with these character charts. Each chart represents a different personality type and portrays that type as a fictional character. For example, the ISFP chart shows Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, while the ENFP chart shows Bugs Bunny. It’s all in good fun, of course, but it’s interesting to see how different types can be represented in media. And there you have it, folks. A journey through the wild world of Myers-Briggs personality types. I hope you laughed, learned something new about yourself, and maybe even found a new favorite meme or gif. Until next time, keep on being your unique and wonderful selves.
