 Measuring Personality
× There are different ways to measure personality.
One is by observing people’s behavior.
Personality can also be measured using different
kinds of tests like the Rorschach Inkblot Test,
the Myers-Briggs Type indicator (MBTI), and
the Kiersey Temperament Sorter.

21
The Myers-Briggs Type I
nd icator
× Katherine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers
developed the Myers-Briggs personality
model based on four preferences of
individuals. These are:
1. E or I (Extraversion or Introversion) is how an individual prefers to
channel his or her energy when dealing with people, whether it is
inward (introversion) or outward (extraversion).
2. S or N (Sensing or Intuition) is how one prefers to process
information, whether through the use of senses such as being able to
describe what one sees, or intuitively like dealing with ideas.
3. T or F (Thinking or Feeling) is how an individual prefers to make
decisions, either thinking or using logic and analysis, or feeling which
uses the cognitive senses based on values or beliefs.
4. J or P (Judgment or Perception) is how an individual prefers to
manage one’s life, whether through judging, which means a planned
and organized life, versus perception, which has a more flexible
approach to living.

Your personal insights: Reflection and Journal Writing: “Who Am
I”
Know thyself is a very old maxim inscribe at the temple of Apollo at
Delphi. That dates back as far as ancient Greece. Yet, the advice remains
alive and worth doing until now. In Greek, it is “gnothi seauton”. In
Latin, it is “temet nosce”.
After learning significant things about yourself, reflect on your
discoveries. Under the title “Who am I?”, Write something about
yourself. You can create a mini story book or a biography of who you
are. It can be a picture book, scrapbook or just a written story of who
you are. Be creative.
