Here's a simple version of it:
4 Dimensions
(you are either one or the other in each of the four categories):
-
I=Introvert> Need to recharge after being with people
E=Extrovert> Get your energy from being with people
-
N=Intuitive> Big picture person
S=Sensing> Detail person
-
T=Thinking> Make decisions through logic
F=Feeling> Make decisions through emotion
-
J=Judging> particular about how things are, by the book type person
P=Perceiving> easygoing, go with the flow type person
-
So looking at the list, what do you think you are (taking one from each of the 4 categories)?
[by the way, no one type is better than the other, though some may be more rare. Also, people keep the same personality through their lives, but they can learn to wear a 'mask' of another, like an introvert that has to be an extrovert for their job, or someone who is a big picture person forced to concentrate on the details for something. You may even become quite good at putting on this face, but you'll never be completely comfortable acting outside of your 'true self'. At least it's how I understand it from the book.]
I think it's interesting to try to figure out what type someone else is, though you're the one who's most likely to know yourself.
