    What is psychological type?

     

    The idea of psychological type was developed by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung (1875–1961), who described different patterns of normal behavior.

    Your psychological type is the pattern of behavior you tend to show.

    On the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator tool, your psychological type is indicated by your preferences for:

    • Extraversion or Introversion
    • Sensing or Intuition
    • Thinking or Feeling
    • Judging or Perceiving.

    Jung concluded that these differences in behavior are perfectly normal and result from people’s inherent tendencies to use their minds in different ways.
