Extraversion vs. Introversion: Understanding the “Energizing” Preference Pair The MBTI personality assessment was designed to look at people's tendencies to use their minds in different ways. So what are these “different ways”? The best place to start is to look at the four preference pairs we described in our last post, which are the basis of our personality type. To recap, people prefer one of each of the following:
- Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I)
- Sensing (S) or Intuition (N)
- Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
- Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)
- Prefer to communicate by talking
- Learn best through doing or discussing
- Be sociable and expressive
- Readily take initiative in work and relationships
- Prefer to communicate in writing
- Learn best through mental “practice”
- Be private and contained
- Take initiative when the situation or issue is very important to them
