What is MBTI?
Definition
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a set of questions based on psychology.
By answering the questions, people can learn about how they tend to make choices and how they view the world.
After answering the questions in the MBTI, people are placed in one of sixteen groups.
These groups are based on theories by Carl Gustav Jung in his book Psychological Types (1921).
yea. that's him.
History of MBTI
History
Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers created the first set of questions during World War II. The set of questions was made to help women who were working for the first time.
Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Meyers thought that the set of questions would help women be happier and work better.
The set of questions has grown into the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The MBTI that we use today was created in 1962.
MBTI Typing
Typing
Though there are 16 types, it is stated that there is no best type. The types are considered equal.
Every type has four letters with each letter corresponding to tendencies of said type.
The MBTI looks at four categories:
- Outlooks
- Information Gathering
- Decision Making
- Dealing with Others
For example:
ESTJ would be a person who prefers extraversion, sensing, thinking, and judging.
INFP would be a person who prefers introversion, intuition, feeling, and perceiving.
Outlook
extraversion / introversion
Outlook
The MBTI measures four things.
The first is extraversion (E) and introversion (I).
Extraverts are people who get energy from the outside world. Extraverts like to spend their time with other people.
Introverts are people who get energy from the inside world. Introverts tend to get energy from thinking and reflecting.
Information Gathering
sensing / intuition
Information Gathering
The second measure is sensing (S) and intuition (N). Sensing and intuition are ways of gathering information.
People who are sensing trust facts. Sensing people accept things if they can see, hear, touch, taste, or smell them.
People who tend to like intuition are more likely to accept outcomes based on other people and meanings that cannot be tested.
Decision Making
thinking / feeling
Decision Making
The third measure is thinking (T) and feeling (F). Thinking and feeling are ways that people make decisions.
Those who prefer thinking tend to make decisions alone. They heavily weigh reason, good sense, order, and cause and effect.
Those who prefer feeling are more likely to think of the effect that a decision may have on other people. They tend to try to gain balance and agreement with everyone that is involved.
Dealing with Others
judging / perceiving
Dealing With Others
The last measure is of judging (J) and perceiving (P). Judging and perceiving detail how people deal with the outside world.
A person who likes judging tends to report that they use
thinking or feeling to deal with the outside world.
A person who likes perceiving tends to report that they use sensing or intuition to deal with the outside world.

Where can I take this test?
The Test
There are hundreds and hundreds of MBTI tests on the internet, though the most popular is the 16 personalities test.
https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test
or my personal favorite site to test my MBTI types (much more accurate in my opinion because they're using the functions for the explanations):

This site, although not the most accurate, has an incredibly detailed description of each personality.
For every type, there is a characterization of tendencies in different fields such as relationships, career, workplace habits, etc.
