Your Life Your Time-Live It Enjoy It.

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

YOUR PERSONALITY TYPE

1. Where is your energy naturally directed?
Extraverts' energy is directed primarily outward, towards people and things outside of themselves. Introverts' energy is primarily directed inward, towards their own thoughts, perceptions, and reactions. Therefore, Extraverts tend to be more naturally active, expressive, social, and interested in many things, whereas Introverts tend to be more reserved, private, cautious, and interested in fewer interactions, but with greater depth and focus.
    Extraverts often:
  • Have high energy
  • Talk more than listen
  • Think out loud
  • Act, then think
  • Like to be around people a lot
  • Prefer a public role
  • Can sometimes be easily distracted
  • Prefer to do lots of things at once
  • Are outgoing & enthusiastic
    Introverts often:
  • Have quiet energy
  • Listen more than talk
  • Think quietly inside their heads
  • Think, then act
  • Feel comfortable being alone
  • Prefer to work "behind-the-scenes"
  • Have good powers of concentration
  • Prefer to focus on one thing at a time
  • Are self-contained and reserved



2. What kind of information do you naturally notice and remember?
Sensors notice the facts, details, and realities of the world around them whereas Intuitives are more interested in connections and relationships between facts as well as the meaning, or possibilities of the information. Sensors tend to be practical and literal people, who trust past experience and often have good common sense. Intuitives tend to be imaginative, theoretical people who trust their hunches and pride themselves on their creativity.

3. How do you decide or come to conclusions?
Thinkers make decisions based primarily on objective and impersonal criteria--what makes the most sense and what is logical. Feelers make decisions based primarily on their personal values and how they feel about the choices. So, Thinkers tend to be cool, analytical, and are convinced by logical reasoning. Feelers tend to be sensitive, empathetic, and are compelled by extenuating circumstances and a constant search for harmony.
    Thinkers often:

4. What kind of environment makes you the most comfortable?
Judgers prefer a structured, ordered, and fairly predictable environment, where they can make decisions and have things settled. Perceivers prefer to experience as much of the world as possible, so they like to keep their options open and are most comfortable adapting. So, Judgers tend to be organized and productive while Perceivers tend to be flexible, curious, and nonconforming.
    Judgers often:
  • Like to have things settled

  • Pay attention to time & are usually prompt
