Myers-Briggs Personality Test MBTI Personality Types
these were the descriptions from this link above
"The Sensing (S) side of our brain notices the sights, sounds, smells and all the sensory details of the PRESENT. It categorizes, organizes, records and stores the specifics from the here and now. It is REALITY based, dealing with "what is." It also provides the specific details of memory & recollections from PAST events.
The Intuitive (N) side of our brain seeks to understand, interpret and form OVERALL patterns of all the information that is collected and records these patterns and relationships. It speculates on POSSIBILITIES, including looking into and forecasting the FUTURE. It is imaginative and conceptual.
Sensing Characteristics
Mentally live in the Now, attending to present opportunities
Using common sense and creating practical solutions is automatic-instinctual
Memory recall is rich in detail of facts and past events
Best improvise from past experience
Like clear and concrete information; dislike guessing when facts are "fuzzy"
/////
Intuitive Characteristics
Mentally live in the Future, attending to future possibilities
Using imagination and creating/inventing new possibilities is automatic-instinctual
Memory recall emphasizes patterns, contexts, and connections
Best improvise from theoretical understanding
Comfortable with ambiguous, fuzzy data and with guessing its meaning.
\
The Thinking (T) side of our brain analyzes information in a DETACHED, objective fashion. It operates from factual principles, deduces and forms conclusions systematically. It is our logical nature.
The Feeling (F) side of our brain forms conclusions in an ATTACHED and somewhat global manner, based on likes/dislikes, impact on others, and human and aesthetic values. It is our subjective nature.
Thinking Characteristics
Instinctively search for facts and logic in a decision situation.
Naturally notices tasks and work to be accomplished.
Easily able to provide an objective and critical analysis.
Accept conflict as a natural, normal part of relationships with people.
//////
Feeling Characteristics
Instinctively employ personal feelings and impact on people in decision situations
Naturally sensitive to people needs and reactions.
Naturally seek consensus and popular opinions.
Unsettled by conflict; have almost a toxic reaction to disharmony.
////
All people use both judging (thinking and feeling) and perceiving (sensing and intuition) processes to store information, organize our thoughts, make decisions, take actions and manage our lives. Yet one of these processes (Judging or Perceiving) tends to take the lead in our relationship with the outside world . . . while the other governs our inner world.
A Judging (J) style approaches the outside world WITH A PLAN and is oriented towards organizing one's surroundings, being prepared, making decisions and reaching closure and completion.
A Perceiving (P) style takes the outside world AS IT COMES and is adopting and adapting, flexible, open-ended and receptive to new opportunities and changing game plans.
Perceiving Characteristics
Comfortable moving into action without a plan; plan on-the-go.
Like to multitask, have variety, mix work and play.
Naturally tolerant of time pressure; work best close to the deadlines.
Instinctively avoid commitments which interfere with flexibility, freedom and variety
/////
Judging Characteristics
Plan many of the details in advance before moving into action.
Focus on task-related action; complete meaningful segments before moving on.
Work best and avoid stress when able to keep ahead of deadlines.
Naturally use targets, dates and standard routines to manage life.

MBTI 16 Personality Types
"While the MBTI ® meets the conventional test standards for reliability and validity, accurately measuring something extremely complex like the whole of a person's personality type is beyond the power of our traditional psychometric tools. A whole host of conditions impact the "test taking" situation, including mood, life situation, aspirations, work implications, degree of self-insight, gender expectations, level of psychological maturity, to name just a few. Then add the fact that the human mind is constantly evolving, learning and unlearning things, and maturing-growing. All of these factors are why Isabel Myers originally called her instrument an "indicator." "

"Be guided away from Type Stereotyping. Since the Face patterns include all four mental functions (with their 8 expressions), it helps us "see" more of the whole person and avoid the stereotyping we sometimes fall into . . . i.e. talking about Thinking preference people as if they have no developed Feeling side to their personality or implying Sensing preference people lack Intuition by expressing "wonder" when they demonstrate creativity."

"Thank you for getting at what seems to me two chief concerns of Isabel Myers, the inventor of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. She emphasized that her questionnaire does not indicate skill and was horrified when a bank misused it to fire all its employees preferring intuition."
woah hello
.
"Jung called these standpoints functions, naming them as Sensation, Intuition, Feeling, and Thinking. These terms don't refer, in any way, to the entire human psyche. They don't mean senses, imagination, emotion, and intellect.
Rather, they refer to the kinds of information the cognitive mind derives from our bodily and emotional experiences -- respectively, aesthetics, symbols, ideals, and concepts. " how do you guys respond to this? sound more accurate?

Sensing and Intuiting MBTI Article for Energy Medicia
A Sensor (S) in a garden is overwhelmed by the sight, smell, and feel of the flowers. He is aware of the birds singing in the trees. The Intuitor (N) experiences the garden and jumps to thoughts such as: "I wonder how many of these flowers have medicinal properties? Are they identified with their Latin botanical names?" The saying "Stop and smell the roses" was written to admonish the Intuitors. how's this resonate?
Best estimates are that there are about 75% Sensors and 25% Intuitors in the general population. This ratio holds equally for men and women. The Sensors tend to be more practical and down to earth, while the Intuitors tend to be more visionary. Imagine if the percentages were reversed! We would be bombarded by new ideas and few people to look after the details. interesting mention hmm.
Intuitors tend to be more abstract and Sensors tend to be more concrete in their thought. It is not that Intuitors are smarter than Sensors; but often Intuitors will do better on IQ tests since they were designed by Intuitors. Also, the tests measure more abstract reasoning. Sensors are just as smart. They are just smart in different ways. Besides Sensors can and do use their Intuiting skills as Intuitors can and do use their Sensing skills.

It Isn't Always What You Do, But How and Where You Do It- Career Advice MBTI-Style ~ THE MBTI BLOG "i think this blog post is what xander was explaining with the intp isn't me thing ^^). quote from blogger below.
"As an ISTJ, I should be in some concrete form of science or mathematics (engineer, accountant, etc) but I am not. Why? My life experiences and socialization have taken me on a different path. In my role, there are few things that fit the typical preferences of an ISTJ. My job is unpredictable, heavily customer-focused, abstract, and frequently involves ambiguous roles.
And yet- it's a perfect match. Why? Because I make the role fit me. "
