  4. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator [Carl G. Jung, 1920] • Introversion vs. Extroversion ("attitudes") • I: internal world (concepts/ideas/reflect), energy from timeout, [think;act] • E: external world (people/action/things), energy from action, [act;think] • Sensing vs. iNtuition("irrational functions", applied to 'data' received) • S: "concrete", trust information in present, details / facts, [meaning ~ data] • N: "abstract", trust theories, [meaning ~ pattern, theory, or wider context] • Feeling vs. Thinking ("decision making functions", for rational choices) • F: associated decisions: empathize with situation, [inside perspective] • T: dissociated decisions: logical analysis, pros/cons, [outside perspective] • Judging vs. Perceiving ("lifestyle", relates to how to get things done) • J: come to decision, always an opinion, clear plan ["inflexible"] • P: leave matters open, await/postpone decisions, ["too flexible"]

USA Population Breakdown [source: wikipedia] S N J ISTJ ( 11.6 % ) ISFJ ( 13.8 % ) INFJ ( 1.5 % ) INTJ ( 2.1 % ) I P ISTP ( 5.4 % ) ISFP ( 8.8 % ) INFP ( 4.3 % ) INTP ( 3.3 % ) ESTP ( 4.3 % ) ESFP ( 8.5 % ) ENFP ( 8.1 % ) ENTP ( 3.2 % ) E ESTJ ( 8.7 % ) ESFJ ( 12.3 % ) ENFJ ( 2.4 % ) ENTJ ( 1.8 % ) J T T F

  7. FIRST Population? [source: wikipedia] S N J ISTJ ( 11.6 % ) ISFJ ( 13.8 % ) INFJ ( 1.5 % ) INTJ ( many ) I P ISTP ( 5.4 % ) ISFP ( 8.8 % ) INFP ( 4.3 % ) INTP ( 3.3 % ) ESTP ( 4.3 % ) ESFP ( 8.5 % ) ENFP ( 8.1 % ) ENTP ( 3.2 % ) E ESTJ ( 8.7 % ) ESFJ ( 12.3 % ) ENFJ ( 2.4 % ) ENTJ ( many ) J T T F

  8. Exercise: Profiling Test • 1) Take the test: • Now, offline (i.e., answer 72 personal Y/N-questions) • 2) Enter your ”answers” into the web-service • You’ll get your ”profile results” • 3) Give/submit ”profile results” to me: • Either on paper or via email: ( brabrand@itu.dk ) • 4) Tomorrow, I’ll present the ”FIRST results”: • …along with what it may be used for • …in particular; what we’ve used it for ENTJ: ( E=33%, N=100%, T=75%, J=67% )
