What does Miles Briggs Type Index mean? (Organizational behavior)

Brief Introduction of Miles Briggs Type Index

Caitlin from America? Briggs and her daughter Isabel? Briggs. Myers developed the Myers-Briggs Type Index (MBTI). This index is based on eight types classified by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, and expanded into four dimensions, namely, ① extraversion (e)- introversion (I), ② feeling (s)- intuition (N), ③ thinking (t)- emotion (F), ④ judgment (j)- perception (P). Four dimensions are like four scales, and everyone's personality will fall on them. For example, in the first dimension, if an individual's personality is close to the extroverted end, he will be extroverted, and the closer to the end, the stronger his preference.

Edit this paragraph (1) What is your preference?

The first thing we need to do now is to find out the meaning of each dimension and estimate our preferences in each dimension.

Extroversion-introversion

If only one dimension can be used to distinguish people, then this dimension should be internal and external, and it is the most basic dimension to distinguish individuals. Taking the ego as the boundary, we can divide the world into two parts: the world outside the ego and the ego world, which can also be called the external world and the internal world. Extroverts tend to devote their attention and energy to the outside world, people, things and environment. While introverts pay more attention to their inner conditions, such as inner feelings and thoughts. Two types of individuals will feel comfortable and energetic in their preferred world, but they will feel uneasy and tired in the opposite world. Therefore, the distinction between extroverts and introverts is extensive and obvious, which is not as simple as what we usually say: "extroverts are talkative and introverts are shy", and can be analyzed from the following aspects: extroverts and introverts.

Time to get along with others and be alone.

Act, then think, then act.

I like talking to myself and thinking in my mind.

Easy to "read" and understand; It is more closed to share personal information at will, and it is more willing to share personal information in selected small groups.

Talk more and listen less, listen more and talk less.

Social enthusiasm is very high, not to mention your excitement.

Quick reaction, like fast pace, after careful consideration, you will respond.

Pay attention to breadth rather than depth, and like depth rather than breadth.

Table 8 Comparison of introverted and extroverted personality characteristics With reference to the above "rules and regulations", can you determine your preference for introversion and extroversion? Of course, don't expect that every standard can be completely achieved, and most of them can be basically determined. Don't expect to always act in the same way. After all, people live in society and sometimes adjust their behavior according to the external environment and the needs of work. Extroverts will also be good listeners in the solemn occasions of authoritative people at present, while introverts will take up leadership positions and express their opinions. If they are well prepared, they will talk a lot. The key is that we need to ask ourselves: What kind of behavior is the best we feel and what we are used to?

Sense-intuition

Each of us is constantly receiving information, which is a necessary prerequisite for us to keep up with the external rhythm. However, different types of individuals receive information in different ways, which makes the difference between sense and intuition. First of all, facing the same situation, their attention centers are different and their information channels are different. Sensory people pay attention to the fact itself and details, while intuitive people pay attention to the meaning, relationship and conclusion based on facts; Sensory people rely on the five senses to hear, see, smell, feel and taste tangible facts and information, while intuitive people pay attention to the "sixth sense" and "suggestion" Many conclusions of intuitive people may be erratic and unrealistic in the eyes of sensory people. As a result of paying attention to details, sensory people are good at remembering a lot of facts and materials. Sometimes they are like a "dictionary", which can clearly state a lot of data, names, concepts and even definitions, and often surprise others. Intuitive ones are better at explaining facts, capturing scattered information and analyzing the development trend of things. Secondly, perceptual people are used to doing things according to rules and manuals, such as using household appliances according to manuals, such as reading maps to identify traffic routes, while intuitive people are used to trying and following their feelings. He is not used to reading a large manual carefully before starting work. What is the result? Maybe he finished the task faster than the sensory person, or he had to start over because of failure. Feeling type is used to sticking to reality, enjoying reality and using existing skills, while intuition type is more used to changing and breaking through reality. In short, it is practical and meticulous for the senses to pay attention to what it is. Intuitive type is more concerned with "what may be". The specific differences are as follows: sensory intuition

Believe in something with style, believe in inspiration and inference.

Like new ideas-unless it has practical significance, like new ideas and concepts that are beneficial to you.

Attach importance to reality and nature, imagination and originality.

I like to use and ponder the known skills, and I also like to learn new skills, but it is easy to get bored after mastering them.

Pay attention to the concrete and special; Describe details, pay attention to universality and symbolism; Use metaphor and analogy

Tell the story step by step and show the facts by leaps and bounds.

Focus on reality, detour and focus on the future.

Table 9 Comparison of the characteristics of sensory type and intuitive type Around us, both types of people will exist. Of course, there are fewer extreme types, and most people have both characteristics, but one of them will stand out and become my own characteristic, so that I can determine my type. Receiving information in any way has advantages and disadvantages. As individuals, they are often only good at one kind. Knowing this, intuitive people don't have to sigh in front of encyclopedic characters, and sensory people don't have to be embarrassed in front of smart and sensitive intuitive people. Of course, while enjoying the advantages brought by our personality types, we might as well make up for our weaknesses gradually and consciously. For example, intuitive people can pay more attention to some details, while sensory people can pay more attention to the potential information contained in them. Foreign studies show that after the age of 25, with the reflection on life, the tendency of individuals to improve their self-character will be more clear. Determine your type and see the advantages of this type.

Thinking-emotion

This is from the decision-making way. Just looking at the name of this dimension, you may think that people who think are rational, while emotional people are irrational, which is not the case. Both types of people have elements of rational thinking, but the main basis for making decisions or drawing conclusions is different. Emotional people often start from their own values, flexibly implement rules and regulations, make some decisions that they think are correct, pay more attention to the emotional experience that may be brought to others, and have a strong human touch. Thinking people pay more attention to the analysis based on objective facts, implement rules and regulations consistently and equally, and are not used to adapting according to human factors, even if the decisions they make are uncomfortable. The specific differences are as follows: types of thinking and emotion

Take a step back, analyze problems with impersonal factors, think ahead and consider the influence of behavior on others.

Attach importance to the values of logic, justice and fairness; Paying equal attention to sympathy and harmony: attaching importance to the exception of norms

Be regarded as indifferent and numb, be regarded as emotional, illogical and weak.

Think tact is more important than frankness, and think tact and frankness are equally important.

Emotion is desirable only if it is logical. No matter whether it is meaningful or not, any emotion is desirable.

Driven by the desire for achievement, driven by appreciation.

It is natural to see shortcomings and tend to criticize.

Table 10 differences in characteristics between thinking type and emotional type; individuals of different sexes have different preferences in this dimension. According to research, about two-thirds of women prefer emotional type, and two-thirds of men prefer thinking type. What is the reason? Perhaps the society itself has given different expectations to people of different sexes, expecting women's sympathy and men's calmness and objectivity. In fact, there is no difference between the two. It is important to understand the practices of people who are different from yourself and try to avoid going into extreme and extreme thinking tendencies, which may give people a feeling of "indifference", while extreme emotional tendencies give people a feeling of "unprincipled". See what kind of preferences your personality will have in this dimension?

Judgment-perception

This is from the perspective of lifestyle preference. If we look at what people put on their desks, bags or cabinets, we will find that some people are often orderly, while others are not used to keeping it tidy. The former is a feature of judgment, and the latter is a common state of emotional people. Moreover, in the way of doing things, judgmental people are purposeful and organized. They like a planned and organized world and prefer to live in a more orderly way. Emotional people are curious and adaptable. They will constantly pay attention to new information, such as changes, and consider many possible factors of change. They prefer to live in a flexible, casual and open way. When making decisions, judgmental people are more decisive, while emotional people always want to get more information before making decisions. People who have been shopping for two days and still can't decide what to buy are mostly emotional. The specific differences between them are as follows: judging the type of perception

I am happiest after making a decision. I feel happy when all the choices exist.

There is a "working principle": work first, play second (if you have time) "playing principle": enjoy now and then finish your work (if you have time).

Set goals and finish them on time. With the acquisition of new information, constantly change the goal.

I am willing to know what I will face, and I like to adapt to new situations.

Focus on results (focus on completing tasks) and process (focus on how to complete work)

Satisfaction comes from completing the plan. Satisfaction comes from the beginning of the plan.

Take time as a limited resource, take the deadline seriously, think that time is a renewable resource, and the deadline is also shrinking.

Table 1 1 The characteristics of judgment type and perception type are different. Most people have both tendencies, but they prefer one end. In our daily life and work, we are also influenced by other factors. If we change our usual ways, such as facing urgent or clear tasks, emotional people will be decisive. When they are in a good mood, they will tidy up their things neatly, but these are not their usual behaviors, nor are they really natural and comfortable inside. As an individual, on the one hand, we should identify our preferences according to our inner feelings and give full play to our advantages, on the other hand, we should restrain our personality weaknesses. If it is completely judgmental, it is easier to get into a rigid dogma, while if it is completely emotional, it is easy to let things go on without restrictions. Looking at the last dimension, what is your preference?
