Personality types and typos

A few years ago my company required everyone to participate in a Meyers Briggs Type Indicator (BMTI) test to see where we fit in the big picture. Each person is assigned 1 out of the 16 personality types. extraversion (E), sensing (S), thinking (T), judgment (J) introversion (I), intuition (N), feeling (F), perception (P) I happen to be ENFP. Basically it means I am an extravert who uses intuition over sensing, feeling over thinking, and perception over judging. After we took the test we went along our daily lives. Well thankfully I work for a great company who actually invests in their employees. Today I participated in a follow up 5 hour class that explained so much about what those letters mean and the differences between the types. I had an epiphany! We should teach this in high school. Or have it required before marriage licenses are issued. If I knew what triggers introverts to crawl into their shells I could have possible avoided two marriages and eventually divorces. I could have learned how to better communicate with an introvert. Like how was I supposed to know that constant talking would drive them deeper? So over the next few weeks I am going to dig deeper and see what else I can find out about myself. If you would like to know more about the MBTI you can read about it here. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator#section_1
