Myers-Brigg Personality Test (Analysis)

Dear La Monde,

Going to Kuching Annual Toastmasters District 87 Convention did give me a lot of new and fresh knowledge to learn. Although most of it were about how to motivate or how to lead, there was one educational session about how to judge someone’s personality and then respond to it sensibly for the sake of a better interpersonal relationship. As for I myself, that was the most priceless lesson on my visit that day.

She was Lim Mung San, a Master of Education from Monash University who learnt about Myers Briggs Personality Indicator and an extreme Extrovert, I should say. But it was not only her workshop that impressed me. It was a small chit-chat during the coffee break where she shared her secret of facing this life, and i could bet that she humbly shared everything that she knew. It was not like in a Martial Arts Club where the Master (Shi Fu) would only pass you 9 our of his 10 fighting styles. This Master of Personality shared her all, truly an extrovert, huh?

Basically, you need to take this personality test first. Here, www.similarminds.com/jung.html

After taking this 5-minute-test, then note down your result.  There are 16 possible combination and all of those are connected with pretty much all aspects in your life: How you get your energy, how you take in information, how you make decisions and how you organize your life.

According to our Master of Personality, she revealed that in order to have a successful marital relationship (or in my opinion, any other relationship), you should have same, at least two, dichotomies (E/I, S/N, F/T, J/P). Having said so, before you compare the result, make sure that your partner has his/her own. [In the other way, force them to take this test :p]

Dramatic description of Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

Based on this notion, I could conclude that an ESFP should find another ESFP to make a perfect marriage. Well, I am ESFP, is there anyone out there? (Marilyn Monroe was once noted as a famous ESFP)

Well, please do share with me if you and your partner have completely different dichotomies (eg. ESFP and INTJ), but both of you still have blossom and sparkle in your relationship.

From my cubicle,
