Seminar: Your MBTI Personality Type

Today you will be taking two different personality tests that are trying to determine the same categories.  The test is called the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI for short), which is based on the theories of the psychologist Carl Jung.   These personality types are not always precise, so it is good to have a second opinion.
***If you are not sure what a question means, please ask me.  If you guess wrong it can make your results much less useful!***

Please type or paste the numbers and headings of the steps into your own document for clarity.
1. TESTS: Everyone needs to take two of these tests:

2. DECIDING WHAT FITS YOU BEST: And then you need to fill it out on this web page:

• http://www.personalitypathways.com/type_inventory.html
• once you enter this, copy your results and insert it into your identity document (the one you made for your Multiple Intelligence Test, see my example: Mr. Sully's IDENTITY doc). Below is my result:

4. MARKING THE TEXT: TRUE OR FALSE?  Now you will be marking the things you agree and disagree with.  Once you paste the description into your document (you might want to adjust the font size), you need to highlight these things in the description:

• anything you think is really true about you, highlight in green
• anything you think is not really accurate about you, highlight in red

5. CAREERS INFO: After the Introduction to your personality type, there are several more sections. Find the CAREER PATHS section, paste it into your document, and highlight in red and green as above:

6. Choose ONE OTHER SECTION to paste into your document and highlight in red and green as above:. . .

• Strengths & Weaknesses
• Romantic RelationshipS
• Friendships

7. SUMMARIZE and give PERSONAL EXAMPLES: View the video  and descriptions of your type on this website: http://www.truity.com/view/types

In your document, summarize in your own words, what does your personality type mean to you?  Give at least 3 specific examples from your life and experience that demonstrates how you are like this (or not).

8. JUST FOR FUN: Check out the this humorous blog about MBTI personality types and read a post that mentions something about your type.  What did it say about your type?  Does it seem like an accurate application of the personality type theory?  http://whichmbtitype.wordpress.com/category/intp/

9. SPIRIT ANIMAL: Choose an animal that represents your personality.  Type the name of the animal, include a picture of the animal, and explain how it represents your personality.
