If you already know your personality type, you can jump to the Myers Briggs chart.
For each of the four questions below, ask yourself:
Which side best represents me most of the time? You will be tempted to say BOTH and that is normal. Everybody is a little bit of both. But the point of this theory is that people tend to have a preference for one side over the other. Think about which side comes more naturally and which one you had to learn over time. Choose the side that comes more naturally.
