Myer-Briggs 4 Tempraments

Good day Level 2 students,

This section looks at Myer-Briggs 4 basic temperaments that go along with their personality typology.

(Available online: https://www.google.co.za/search?q=myer+briggs+4+temperaments)

This should then also be read along with:  4 Greek humors and 4 temperaments relating to how an individual performs a task i.e. Diver, Driver, Logician and Search light.  Myer-Brggs4 temperaments consist of:

1. Guardian
2. Artisan
3. Idealist
4. Rationalist

Guardian:

These are typically sensing and judging personalities. They need to be part of a group and have a great sense of duty or responsibility towards their group. This temperament values stability and security, as such their need for personal responsibility can be so high that that take on too much responsibility. Because of this they need to get things done and are seen by others as being reliable, hardworking trust worthy. They therefore prefer schedules and routines and prefer things to be planed ahead rather than getting surprises. They don't like change and want things to be predictable and stable and view themselves as always accountable for their actions. 

Artisan:

They use the functions of sensing and perceiving. Their main needs are freedom, action, excitement, variety and being able to make a difference. Artisans tend to be impulsive and live in the moment. Consequently, they are good in making quick decisions and take action. They are practical in nature and love working with others as they feel it is the best way to get things done. They get energized by a challenge and enjoy practical problem solving. Since they love working with others, they are also good at summing other people up and predicting their behavior. They become bored with routine and prefer to have a action and verity. They therefore like to try new things rather than follow a set plan. The have an appreciation for beauty and views people as equals. Though they like to work with others and enjoy being sociable, they are individualistic. They are loyal friends who wants to help others. They work best in a loosely structured environment, but they can also tend to be disorganized, unable to see the consequences of their actions and unpredictable. 

Idealist: 

They use the functions of intuition and feeling to communicate with others. It is important for them to know themselves, be the best at what they are doing and finding meaning in their lives. Consequently, they like to be important. They do not bother themselves too much with then here and now, preferring to look to the future and what they can accomplish. The implication being that they like to involve themselves with activities that they regard as meaningful rather than something routine or entertaining. They know themselves and only want to experience life as something meaningful. This means that they might seem romantic and spiritual, striving to be the best person they can be. They therefore tend to have very unique personalities and identities and want others to notice them and appreciate their importance. The value differences between right and wrong, cultures, rituals and having the quality of life that promotes personal growth. Because then of all of this they are warm caring people who always look for peace. Idealist communicate well with others and make good leaders because they are good at motivating and guiding people.   They are seen as creative since they value uniqueness and may express this through their ideas or forms of art.Their optimal environment is one where they are accepted for who they are and appreciated for their uniqueness. They shy away form conflict and competitiveness. Because life has to have a meaning for them, they tend to work hard towards perfection. 

Rationalist: 

They function under intuition and thinkers. Their essential need is to gain knowledge, being viewed as competent and understanding of things and people.  Therefore their main drive is to gain knowledge and understanding. As such they like to do things properly and views as competent in what they do.  They have a natural ability to analyse situations and identify the best way to achieve their goals. They are able to see connections between things that others might miss. Consequently, they are able to retain large amounts of information and able to manipulate them to find connections and relations. They are long term planner who are very goof at predicting the outcome of specific actions. Since they are concerned about being seen as being competent, they are very skeptical of others and especially if they are different to them. They look in detail at things to analyse them in their bigger context and this ability to move from the specific to the bigger picture makes them good at designing things. They view activities as opportunities to learn and seldom do things just for fun. They also do not want to be a part of activities that they feel they will not be good i and may be seen as very perfectionist and self-critical. They are competitive and independent, not interested in forming close relationships and therefore easily appear distant.

LP Level 2: Myers-Briggs Personality Typology

Good day my level 2 students,

Here I am going to briefly summaries Myer-Briggs typology which is part of our study of personalities. Remember, personalities are not as stable as temperaments and as such, even though we will look at the four basic types of personalities, no one person is just one of these their whole life and we are all a mixture of the different typologies that construct out personality. This section should then also be read along with the Big 5 personality types and Myer-Briggs 4 temperaments that we have done and which is also on this blog. Let me then begin: 

The four basic types of personality according to Myer-Briggs: 

1. Extrovert vs. Introvert
2. Sensing vs. Intuition
3. Thinking vs. Feeling
4. Judging vs. Perceiving.

From the outset, with the exclusion of extrovert, you will see that the personalities to the left relate to the left brain dominant character, that is a person who is mainly rational and logical. The individual personality is a mix of these four elements so that in the end one will have 16 distinct personality types, though we are not going to go into that much detail. Let us now look into more detail at each personality:

Extrovert v. Introvert:   

• This personality distinction relates to how the individual react to the world around them. This includes not only the world outside themselves, but also their internal world. In other words it looks at the persons locus of control: Are you predominantly driven by external factors (such as other peoples praise) or internal factors. The implication of this being that the extroverts are more action takes i.e. they will first act then think of their actions,  while introverts are more reflective, they think before they act.

Extrovert

These personality types receive allot of their energy from the world around them (external locus of control) and taking action. Therefore if they are kept quite their level of energy drops. Extroverts are typically very social and talkative. 

Introvert: 

in contrast introverts receive their energy from within and require additional time to do things as they first reflect on their thoughts before they take action. They have then an internal locus of control and spend allot of their time on self development. They are thus more interested in depth and thought orientated. 

Sensing vs. Intuition: 

• This distinction relates to how the individual goes about gathering information form the world around them. In other words where do they go look for information when they make decisions or take actions. It describes how information is gathered, made sense of and understood. 

Sensing: 

These individuals only trust information gathered through their senses. As such they require proof of things and are naturally distrusting of information. This is typically your mathematically and scientifically minded persons. 

Intuition

These individual in contrast, put more trust in information that they can remember or discover if they can see the bigger picture. As such they trust flashes of insight that come form their subconscious more and make decisions based on feelings rather than rationality. In other words they trust their 'gut' feelings. 

Thinking vs. Feeling: 

• This distinction relates to how the individual makes decisions, which is generally based on how they interpret and receive the information from the environment  around them. 

Thinking: 

These individuals use logic and reason to base their decision in life on. Typically they would then also be your more sensing type of personalty.  They will look at all the hard facts to come to the most logical decision. As such they are very cerebral and their decision based on what is the right thing to do.  

Feeling: 

People who rely more heavily on their feelings and emotion to make decisions would be considered feeling personalities. Typically they are then also more intuitive. They will consider all people rather than facts involved and will make their decision based on what feels right. 

Judging vs. Perceiving: 

• This distinction refers to how the individual chooses to communicate with the outside world. In other words, how the individual chooses their words when they speak to another. 

Judging:

These individuals like matters to be settled and as such prefer a direct form of communication. They do not mince their words and will speak frankly about a topic. Consequently, they might seep tactless from time to time.  They do not like to 'beat around the bush'. 

Perceiving: 

These types of individuals prefer o relate to others, rather than being solely focused on resolving matters. As such they prefer to keep their options and decisions open and seem allot more 'laissez fair' or anything goes. 

The combinations then of these would look as such:

Ubuntu ngabanye ukuxuba salezi zici ezine ukuze ekugcineni kuyomelwe 16 izinhlobo ngezigodi ubuntu, nakuba thina Ngeke bangene leso imininingwane okuningi. Manje ake ahlole kabanzi at ubuntu ngalinye:

Extrovert v umnyewu:

Extrovert
Lezi zinhlobo ubuntu zithola abela yamandla abo ezweni eziphila kulo (Locus kwangaphandle of control) kanye kokuthatha isinyathelo. Ngakho-ke uma kugcinwa ngempela ezingeni kwabo energy amaconsi. Extroverts kuvamise yokuzihlanganisa nabantu, futhi ikhuluma njalo.
umnyewu:
ngokuphambene introverts zithola amandla abo ngaphakathi futhi zidinga isikhathi esengeziwe ukwenza izinto njengoba kuqala ukucabanga yabo ngaphambi kokuba bathathe isinyathelo. Sinenkosi ke i Locus yangaphakathi ingalawuleki futhi zichitha abela yesikhathi sabo kwi development self. Ziyakwazi Kanjalo kakhulu ukujula wacabanga nemidlalo.
