The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a widely recognised and utilised personality assessment tool that categorises individuals into different personality types based on four key dimensions:

  • Extraversion (E) vs. Introversion (I) - Where do you focus your attention?
  • Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N) - How do you take in information?
  • Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F) - How do you make decisions and evaluate information?
  • Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P) - How do you orientate to the Outer world?

In this article, we explore the F (Feeling) and T (Thinking) preferences. These preferences refer to how individuals make decisions and evaluate information. Our personality shapes our decisions.
