    • Myers-Briggs theory is an adaptation of the

    theory of psychological types produced by Carl


    Gustav Jung.
    • It is based on 16 personality types, which Jung
    viewed as stereotypes (Jung 1921)
    • They act as useful reference points to
    understand your unique personality (Jung 1957).
    • At the heart of Myers Briggs theory are four
    preferences. Do you prefer to deal with:
    • At the heart of Myers Briggs theory are four preferences.
    • Do you prefer to deal with:
    • People and things (Extraversion or "E"), or ideas and
    information (Introversion or "I").
    • Facts and reality (Sensing or "S"), or possibilities and
    potential (Intuition or "N").
    • Logic and truth (Thinking or "T"), or values and
    relationships (Feeling or "F").
    • A lifestyle that is well-structured (Judgment or "J"), or
    one that goes with the flow (Perception or "P").
    Extraversion and Introversion -
    • The first pair of styles is concerned with the
    direction of your energy/ Where you focus your
    attention
    • If you prefer to direct your energy to deal with
    people, things, situations, or "the outer world",
    then your preference is for Extraversion.
    • If you prefer to direct your energy to deal with
    ideas, information, explanations or beliefs, or "the
    inner world", then your preference is for
    Introversion.
    Sensing and Intuition -
    • The second pair concerns the type of information/things
    that you process/ The way you take in information
    • If you prefer to deal with facts, what you know, to have
    clarity, or to describe what you see, then your preference
    is for Sensing.
    • If you prefer to deal with ideas, look into the unknown,
    to generate new possibilities or to anticipate what isn't
    obvious, then your preference is for Intuition.
    • The letter N is used for intuition because I has already
    been allocated to Introversion.
    Thinking and Feeling
    • The third pair reflects your style of decision-
    making/ How you make decision
    • If you prefer to decide on the basis of objective
    logic, using an analytic and detached approach,
    then your preference is for Thinking.
    • If you prefer to decide using values - i.e. on the
    basis of what or who you believe is important -
    then your preference is for Feeling.
    Judgment and Perception
    • The final pair describes the type of lifestyle
    you adopt/ How you deal with the world
    • If you prefer your life to be planned and well-
    structured then your preference is for Judging.
    This is not to be confused with 'Judgmental',
    which is quite different.
    • If you prefer to go with the flow, to maintain
    flexibility and respond to things as they arise,
    then your preference is for Perception.
    Enhancing your career
    • Know your self: Personal career planning begins by
    being honest with yourself strengths, weaknesses,
    talent
    • Manage your reputation. Make yourself and your
    accomplishments visible.
    • Build and maintain network contacts. Join national
    and local professional associations, attend
    conferences, and network at social gatherings. As a
    student you may want to participate in an
    internship.
    Enhancing Your career
    • Keep current. Develop specific skills and abilities in high
    demand. Avoid learning only organization-specific skills
    that don’t quickly transfer to other employers.
    • Balance your specialist and generalist competencies.
    Stay current within your technical specialty, but also
    develop general competencies that give you the
    versatility to react to an ever-changing work
    environment. Overemphasis in a single functional area
    or even in a narrow industry can limit your mobility.
    Enhancing career
    • Document your achievements. Employers are
    increasingly looking to what you’ve
    accomplished rather than the titles you’ve
    held
    • Keep your options open. Always have
    contingency plans prepared that you can call
    on when needed
