Myers Briggs Type Indicator
(Short Hand Version)
Direction: This questionnaire does not measure your ability or performance, only your preferences and orientations. There are no right
or wrong answers. Although you may actually use both choices, one probably describes you better or more accurately than the other.
With that in mind, write the capital letter of the phrase that describes you more or appeals to you more.
