2. Personality Type Test
Does Personality Matters?
Yes! Your personality should fit your career choice!
 
To know your personality type, we will utilize the
four common letters or acronyms to describe how
people prefer to do things and how they think about the
world. It will help to identify individual’s strengths and
personality preferences. It will discover how normal
human beings take in information and make decisions
and expend their energy.
 According to Carl G. Jung’s theory of
psychological types, people can be
characterized by their preference of
general attitude:

• Extraverted (E) vs. Introverted (I), their preference

of one of the two function of perception:

• Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N), and their preference

of one of the two functions of judging:

• Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F)

• Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P)

The first criterion, Extraversion –

Introversion, signifies the source and
direction of a person’s energy
expression. An extravert’s source of
energy expression is mainly in the
external world, while an introvert has a
source of energy mainly in their own
internal world.
The second criterion, Sensing – Intuition, represents the method by
which someone perceives information. Sensing means that a person
mainly believes information he or she receives directly from the
external world. Intuition means that a person believes mainly on
information he or she receives from the internal or imaginative world.

The third criterion, Thinking – Feeling, represents how a 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, - what they feel they
should do.

The fourth criterion, Judging – Perceiving, reflects how a person

implements the information he or she has processed. Judging
means that a person organizes all of his life events and, as a rule,
sticks to his plans. Perceiving means that he or she is inclined to
improvise and explore alternative options.
