personality:
The dictionary defines personality as:
Everybody's heard the term personality, and most of us can describe our
own or our friend's personality. What most don't know, however, is that
personality is one of the most theorized and most researched aspects of
psychology?
The key to understanding the is to think about how the person typically is
(trait) and how the person has temporarily changed (state) in response to
something.
2) Traits:
Traits are defined as "a distinguishing quality or characteristic, as of
personality." In other words, this means that personality traits are the
distinguishing characteristics that make you "you." Personality traits are
the unique set of characteristics and qualities that only you possess.
While a lot of people might have similar personality traits, each person
combines these traits in a different way, to create one unique,
irreplaceable conglomeration of traits that make up their individual
personality.

Taking up a hobby is a great way to become well rounded and improve your
personality. Sports can make you stronger, arts and crafts can make you
patient, and volunteering can make you caring. Even just reading a book can
push you to be better.

As many as 2 million people take the MBTI in the us each year the test consists of more
than 100 questions about how the persons feels or prefer to behave in different situations
Extraverted (E):
Extraversion is a preference to focus on the world outside the self. Extraverts
enjoy social interactions and tend to be enthusiastic, verbal, assertive, and
animated. They enjoy large social gatherings, such as parties and any kind of
group activity. Extraverts are likely to enjoy time spent with people and find
themselves energized by social interaction.
Introverted (I):
Introversion is a preference to focus on the world inside the self. Introverts
tend to be quiet, peaceful and deliberate and are not attracted to social
interactions. They prefer activities they can do alone or with one other close
friend, activities such as reading, writing, thinking, and inventing. Introverts
find social gatherings draining.
Extroverts tend to "fade" when alone and can easily become bored without
other people around. When given the chance, an extrovert will talk with
someone else rather than sit alone and think. In fact, extroverts tend to think
as they speak, unlike introverts who are far more likely to think before they
speak. Extroverts often think best when they are talking. Concepts just don't
seem real to them unless they can talk about them; reflecting on them isn't
enough.
Extroverts enjoy social situations and even seek them out since they enjoy
being around people. Their ability to make small talk makes them appear to
be more socially adept than introverts (although introverts may have little
difficulty talking to people they don't know if they can talk about concepts
or issues).
The extravert's flow is directed outward toward people and objects, and the
introvert's is directed inward toward concepts and ideas. Contrasting
characteristics between extraverts and introverts include the following:
Extraverts recharge and get their energy from spending time with people,
while introverts recharge and get their energy from spending time alone.
Sensing (S):
Sensing refers to how people process data. Sensing people focus on the
present, they are "here and now" people, who are factual and process
information through the five senses. They see things as they are, they are
concrete thinkers.
Intuition (N):
Intuition refers to how people process data. Intuitive people focus on the
future and the possibilities. They process information through patterns and
impressions. They read between the lines, they are abstract thinkers.

Thinking (T):
Thinking refers to how people make decisions. Thinking people are
objective and make decisions based on facts. They are ruled by their head
instead of their heart. Thinking people judge situations and others based on
logic.
Feeling (F):
Feeling refers to how people make decisions. Feeling people are subjective
and make decisions based on principles and values. They are ruled by their
heart instead of their head. Feeling people judge situations and others based
on feelings and extenuating circumstances.

In reviewing the comparisons in our inventory, you may find yourself drawn
equally to opposing choices. In such cases I suggest you try to think back to
how you were before the age of 12 or even younger if you can recall. The
rationale for this suggestion is the fact that by the time we are 3 years old,
the core of our cognitive organization is well-fixed. . . although the brain
continues to allow some plasticity until puberty.
After the onset of puberty, our adult learning begins to overlay our core
personality - which is when the blending of nature and nurture becomes
more evident. For some people, this "learning" serves to strengthen what is
already there, but with others it produces multiple faces to personality.
Each of the four questions of the CSI inventory has two parts. The first
part is a general description of the preference choices. The second part is
a list of paired statements. Use both parts to form your opinion on your
more dominant preference.
Every person has two faces. One is directed towards the OUTER world
of activities, excitements, people, and things. The other is directed inward
to the INNER world of thoughts, interests, ideas, and imagination.
While these are two different but complementary sides of our nature,
most people have an innate preference towards energy from either the
OUTER or the INNER world. Thus one of their faces, either the
Extraverted (E) or Introverted (I), takes the lead in their personality
development and plays a more dominant role in their behavior.
On the other hand normally the small and easy question are asked from
the respondent such like.
time is...
o money
o relative
life is in the...
o details
o big picture
Extraverted Introverted

• Act first, think/reflect later • Think/reflect first, then Act

from interaction with the of "private time" to recharge

The Intuitive (N) side of our brain seeks to understand, interpret and form
OVERALL patterns of all the information that is collected and records
these patterns and relationships. It speculates on POSSIBILITIES,
including looking into and forecasting the FUTURE. It is imaginative and
conceptual.
While both kinds of perceiving are necessary and used by all people,
each of us instinctively tends to favor one over the other.
On the other hand normally the small and easy question are asked from
the respondent such like.
o small things
o big things...
19
pick one...
o literal
o figurative
sports is...
o stats
o passion
The Feeling (F) side of our brain forms conclusions in an ATTACHED and
somewhat global manner, based on likes/dislikes, impact on others, and
human and aesthetic values. It is our subjective nature.
While everyone uses both means of forming conclusions, each person has
a natural bias towards one over the other so that when they give us
conflicting directions - one side is the natural trump card or tiebreaker.
On the other hand normally the small and easy question are asked from
the respondent such like.
like to be...
o specific
o general
o make a plan
o wing it
A Judging (J) style approaches the outside world WITH A PLAN and is
oriented towards organizing one's surroundings, being prepared, making
decisions and reaching closure and completion.

o a waste of time
o fun

o multiple choice
