Since this post a few people have asked me how I came to know what my personality type was. So here’s the skinny:
The personality type I mentioned in the previous post is based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® , which is based on Carl Jung’s notion of psychological types. Basically you take a test with a number of questions that have no right or wrong answers, they just help gage your personal preferences. Once done, a Qualified MBTI Practitioner scores your test and goes over the results with you.
I have seen a few tests online, but there is no guarantee that those online versions are accurate. You really should have the test performed by a Qualified MBTI Practitioner.
For anyone who is interested, my wife is a Qualified MBTI Practitioner and says she charges $25/person to do the test. She can be reached via karlyn at karlyn.us. Obviously, this is where I got the test done.
