It helps explain why you do what you do. It doesn’t, therefore, justify pleas of ‘I can’t possibly sit and finish this report by myself. Do you not realise that I am an Extrovert?!’ Instead, the psychological tool gives us information about why Extroverts might feel the way they do about such things. More about Extroverts (and Introverts) later.  \nMany people live long and happy lives without ever knowing their Myers Briggs personality type……yet I think it’s a richer experience when they do!  \nIn this Ultimate Guide on Myers Briggs, we will look at the following, you can jump to sections with these links below:  \n• What is a Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)?  \n• Where Did It All Begin?  \n• So… What Can It Do For Me?  \n• What Does the MBTI Look At?  \n• How Can I Guess People’s Myers Briggs Types?  \n•  Do We Know the MBTI of Anyone Famous?  \n• Further Reading and Resources  \nWhat is a Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)?  \nThe MBTI is about preference, not ability.  \nTry this:  \n1. Fold your arms – What does that feel like? Normal? Natural? Comfortable?  \n2. Now fold them the other way around – You might have thought it was going to be di cult. Perhaps even that you wouldn’t be able to do it at all. Did you manage it even so?  \n3. Okay, now unfold them again – What did folding them in a di􀀞erent way feel like?  \nUncomfortable? Unnatural? Weird?  \n4. Okay. Fold your arms again – Did you revert to your most comfortable version?  \nIf so, it’s not surprising. We usually do this without thinking. There’s a similar principle behind the preferences identified by the MBTI.  \n[www.makingbusinessmatter.co.uk](www.makingbusinessmatter.co.uk) 2  \nMaking Business Matter-Ultimate Guide to Myers Briggs  \nAbility  \nWe can fold our arms di􀀞erently – we have the ‘ability’. This doesn’t necessarily mean that we want to fold our arms in the new way of going forward. Why would we, if we can do it more easily and more comfortably in our preferred way? So, if we can work in ways we are naturally ‘wired’, using our innate gifts, then we are more likely to feel at, and perform at, our best. It’s worth saying that knowing your personality type doesn’t suddenly make you aware of what you enjoy most or least. You no doubt already know this. What it does do is shine a light on why this might be. Of course, we may still have to get on and do those things we relish least in the world of work and in life. We may even get quite good at doing them! However, our preference won’t change because of our new-found ability.  \nIntroverts & Extroverts  \n“For many Extraverts,“hell at a party” is “not being able to get in.” Many introverts see it as “being there”.”Isabel Briggs Myers, Gifts Di􀀞ering: Understanding Personality Type Take this scenario: An Extrovert may have to take more time inside their head than they would ideally like in order to complete that report. An Introvert may need to take more time being ‘out there’ networking with people than they might naturally choose. They can do it, but it might feel uncomfortable, perhaps even draining, if done for long periods of time. We’ve mentioned Extroverts and Introverts; of course, the psychological type indicator is much more than these descriptions alone. They are just two of the eight preferences that this particular personality indicator measures, and are perhaps what people think of first when it comes to this personality instrument. Later in this article, we’ll look at some speedy ways to make informed guesses about other people’s personality type indicator preferences.  \nWhat is Your Myers Briggs Personality Type?  \nHave a go at identifying your MBTI by filling out the quick cheat sheet below.
