Out of curiosity, I took a personality test at Humanmetrics.com (http://www.humanmetrics.com/) and it turned out to be that I belong to a personality type ESTJ. Description of the philosophy behind the test is presented below: According to Carl Jung’s typology all people can be classified using the following three criteria: Extraversion – Introversion Sensing – Intuition Thinking – Feeling Isabel Briggs-Myers added a fourth criterion: Judging – Perceiving The first criterion, Extraversion – Introversion defines the source and direction of energy expression for a person. The extrovert has a source and direction of energy expression mainly in the external world while the introvert has a source of energy mainly in the internal world. The second criterion, Sensing – Intuition defines the method of information perception by a person. Sensing means that a person believes mainly information he or she receives directly from the external world. Intuition means that a person believes mainly in information he or she receives from the internal or imaginative world. The third criterion, Thinking – Feeling defines how the person processes information. Thinking means that a person makes a decision mainly through logic. Feeling means that, as a rule, he or she makes a decision based on emotion. The fourth criterion, Judging – Perceiving defines how a person implements the information he or she has processed. Judging means that a person organizes all his life events and acts strictly according to his plans. Perceiving means that he or she is inclined to improvise and seek alternatives. The different combinations of the criteria determine a type. There may be sixteen types. Every type has a name (or formula) according to the combination of criteria.
