Your personality
The MBTI - Myers Briggs Type Indicator helps you understand how you make decisions and perceive the world to improve your learning, thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, communication and writing. The model is originally based on the work of Carl Jung 
and was adapted by Katherine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers.
MBTI organises preferences on a 4-dimension scale into:
- How you relate to the world? Do you get your energy from the outer world or the inner world (Extravert or Introvert)?
- How you process information? Do you love detail and specifics or are you into ideas, innovations and making global connections (Sensing or iNtuitive)?
- How you make decisions? With your head or heart (Feeling or Thinking)?
- How you focus your attention and plan? Schedule or spontaneous action (Judger or Perceiver)?
The MBTI personality type provides a code type such as I S T P or E N F P and so on for each of the 16 type possibilities based on preferences on the 4 scales.
The MBTI is one of the tools used to assist professionals to gain insights into their working and processing strengths.
Understanding your MBTI:
- may help you understand your academic learning preferences
- provides useful insights into how to communicate your ideas more effectively to a diverse audience.
