The assessments include the TypeFinder® Personality Test (also referred to as the TypeFinder® for Individuals), the TypeFinder® for the Workplace, and the TypeFinder® for Career Planning, which are all administered online through [the website at Truity.com. The TypeFinder assessments](the website at Truity.com. The TypeFinder assessments) provide a comprehensive assessment of personality type according to the system developed by Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers. The TypeFinder Personality Test also includes a measure of 23 traits which provide more detailed insight within the four preferences created by Briggs and Myers. This report provides a summary of the development process and psychometric characteristics of the TypeFinder assessments.  \nTHEORETICAL FRAMEWORK  \nThe TypeFinder assessments are based primarily on the theories created by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Briggs. Briggs and Myers theorized that people could be categorized into types based on their preferences for ways of thinking, behaving, and relating to others. They proposed that there were four primary dimensions of personality, each of which could be described in terms of two opposing styles, or “preferences.”Thus, every individual could be described as either:  \n• Extraverted or Introverted, with Extraverts being more focused on and energized by the external world, and Introverts drawing energy from the internal world;  \n• Sensing or Intuitive, with Sensors being more straightforward and hands-on, and Intuitives being more conceptual and focused on ideas;  \n• Thinking or Feeling, with Thinkers prioritizing logical, rational data in their decision making, and Feelers focusing more on personal and emotional factors; and  \n• Judging or Perceiving, with Judgers preferring structure and firm decisions, and Perceivers preferring spontaneity and open-ended situations.  \nBriggs and Myers thus proposed that all people could be classified according to their preferences on each of the above, and further that each person could then be assigned a four-letter acronym describing their personality type, with each letter standing in for a preference. Thus, a person who preferred Introversion, Intuition, Feeling, and Judging would be called an INFJ (The letter “N” is used to signify Intuition to avoid duplicating the“I” for Introversion) .  \nBriggs and Myers based their theories on their understanding of psychologist C.G. Jung’s work in his book Psychological Types, their direct observations of people, and later, Isabel Briggs Myers’ pilot studies of her MBTI® assessment with small sample populations (e.g. , the students in a local highschool) . They were not trained as social scientists and their methods had a decidedly grassroots  \nTypeFinder® Assessments Page 2 of 9  \nquality, however later studies found that the four dimensions of personality they had outlined overlapped significantly with the Five Factors of personality discovered by research psychologists. Ina 1989 study, Costa and McCrae concluded that Myers and Briggs’ four preferences described essentially the same phenomena as the first four dimensions of the Big Five (the fifth, neuroticism, did not have a correlate with the MBTI®) .  \nThe TypeFinder assessments were developed with an eye to the correspondence between Myers and Briggs’ theory and the Big Five. By making the commonalities explicit, our descriptions of personality types and traits can be informed by current research into personality dimensions that are shared by both systems. In addition, the MBTI® assessment suffered from some structural issues; in particular, scores on the Sensing/Intuition and Judging/Perceiving dimensio","cbCairWscaA74Tq9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairWscaA74Tq9","pdf",275493,"English","# Overview\n# Theoretical Framework\n## Four personality dimensions and preferences\n## Relationship to Jung and MBTI®\n## Alignment with the Big Five\n## Personality facets and empirical development","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the TypeFinder® assessments?\",\"answer\":\"The TypeFinder® assessments indicate personality type and are used for personal exploration, career planning, coaching, employee development, and research.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report describe the four primary personality dimensions?\",\"answer\":\"It explains four dimensions, each with two opposing preferences: Extraversion/Introversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, and Judging/Perceiving.\"},{\"question\":\"How does TypeFinder relate its framework to the Big Five model?\",\"answer\":\"The report states that TypeFinder was developed to correspond the Briggs and Myers theory with the Big Five and uses it to distinguish more independent dimensions and reduce correlations seen in MBTI® dimensions.\"}]","The TypeFinder Assessments - Overview and Theoretical Framework | PDF",23]
