MBTI as Students
Going to address 4 things:
Where you get your energy How you take in information How you make decisions How you orient yourself to the outer world
When do you think this might play a role in what you do, and how you approach things?
Each person has a preference for either the outer world or the inner world

The MBTI instrument indicates preferences on four pairs of opposites, called dichotomies:

or or or
Introversion
Sensing
Thinking

T
N Intuition
F Feeling
Judging
or
P Perceiving
MBTI Theory
Four pairs of oppositeslike our right and left hands. We all use both sides of each pair, but one is our natural preference.
EI Differences
People who prefer Extraversion: Direct their energy and attention outward Focus on the outer world of people and activity
People who prefer Introversion: Direct their energy and attention inward Focus on their inner world of ideas and experiences
We all use both preferences, but usually not with equal comfort.
EI Illustration
May be seen as go-getters or people-persons May be energized by being involved with a breath of activities May feel comfortable with and like working in groups May have a wide range of acquaintances and friends Sometimes jump too quickly into activity and dont allow much time for reflection Sometimes forget to pause to clarify the ideas that give aim or meaning to their activities
People who prefer Introversion (I) May be seem as calm and centered or reserved May feel comfortable being alone and like solitary activities May prefer fewer, more intentional relationships Sometimes spend too much time reflecting and not move into action quickly enough Sometimes forget to check with the outside world to see if their ideas fit into their experience
We Have a Preference
We all do Extraverted and Introverted things. But we usually do not do them with equal comfort. Most of us have a preference for one or the other.
