5. Behind MBTI
Jung's Theory – Orientation of Energy
Extraversion Introversion
Focus on the inner
world of thoughts,
feelings, and
reflections
Focus on the outer
world of things,
people, and events
6. E – I
People who prefer Extraversion:
• Focus their energy and attention outward
• Are interested in the world of people and things
People who prefer Introversion:
• Focus their energy and attention inward
• Are interested in the inner world of thoughts
and reflections
We all use both preferences but usually not with equal comfort.
7. Sensing or iNtuition
The way we take in information and the
kind of information we like and trust
8. Behind MBTI®
Jung's Theory – Basic Mental Processes
We take in information
Perception
Sensing Intuition
You can't use both methods of taking
in information simultaneously, so we
develop a preference for using one
method over another
9. S – N
People who prefer Sensing:
• Prefer to take in information using their five senses –
sight, sound, feel, smell, and taste
People who prefer iNtuition:
• Go beyond what is real or concrete and focus on meaning,
associations, and relationships
We all use both ways of perceiving but we typically prefer and trust one
more
11. Behind MBTI®
Jung's Theory – Basic Mental Processes
We make decisions about
information
Judgement
Thinking Feeling
You can't use both methods of making
judgments simultaneously, so we
develop a preference for using one
method over another
12. T – F
People who prefer Thinking:
• Make their decisions based on impersonal, objective logic
People who prefer Feeling:
• Make their decisions with a person-centered, value-based
process
Both processes are rational and we use both of
them, but usually not equally easily.

• Who sees it correctly?
• What are the implications and applications of
this exercise?
15. Implications

• Who sees it correctly?
T’s F’s
• T’s concentrate on
achieving their desired
outcome – the
partner/friend changes
clothes or they don’t
go.
F’s often say they don’t care
what the person is wearing.
• T’s are frank and to-the-point
in stating their views
about the clothing.
F’s are often concerned
about embarrassing the
person, take a tactful,
indirect approach
16. Judging or Perceiving

how we orient ourselves to it
17. Behind MBTI

A spontaneous approach to
meting deadlines with a rush
of activity towards the end
A planned approach to
meeting deadlines in a

• Want the external world to be organised and orderly
• Look at the world and see decisions that need to be made

• Look at the world and see options that need to
be explored
