Yourself test app is based on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) which is an introspective self-report questionnaire designed to indicate psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.
The MBTI was constructed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers.
Learning your MBTI profile is very helpful in understanding yourself, how you deal with others, ideal careers, and your strengths and weaknesses.
Some organizations go as far as using the MBTI to assess compatibility with a spouse! The MBTI sorts people into 16 different personality types broken down by two pairs of cognitive functions.
1. The “Rational” (Judging) Functions: Thinking and Feeling.
2. The “Irrational” (Perceiving) Functions: Sensation and Intuition.
The cognitive functions are then broken down into 16 different personality types based on how the functions are paired with each other.
The Orientation of Your Focus and How You Are Energized: Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I).
The Way You Take in Information and What You Pay Attention to: Sensing (S) or Intuition (N).
How You Make Decisions and Form Judgments: Thinking (T) or Feeling (F).
How You Deal With the World and the Lifestyle You Prefer: Judging (J) or Perceiving (P).
