Your Personality Type Determines How You Talk!

Your personality type will control how you talk, how you speak English….or whatever your native tongue is.

If you’ve ever had any difficulty talking with someone, perhaps you even have repeated difficulty talking with some people.

The knowledge of your Myers-Briggs personality type can help to make your communication better.

We all speak our native language instinctively through our DOMINANT personality function….DOMINANT personality trait.

Your DOMINANT function, trait, is that psychological function that you are giving the highest amount of preferred, natural, good and strong, conscious, psychic energy to.

The Benefit To You

If you can speak in another person’s dominant function they will understand you and actually like you more!!

When people hear more of what you say, and when they hear what you say spoken the way they instinctively want to hear things spoken, they like you more….you and they can accomplish almost anything!

It is like speaking German to the Germans, Italian to the Italians, English to the English.....etc.

Others will actually be seeing you, psychologically, as they see themselves….mirror image psychology here…it is powerful and automatic.

How This Works

You give out conscious psychic energy to four of the eight functions in a descending order of importance…..importance to you.

Not everyone will have the same dominant function….so, in a practical reality way; we may be actually speaking a “foreign” language to someone else even when both people are speaking what sounds like the same language….be it English or whatever.

This is a little confusing at first, but very simple with practice and minor understanding of your personality type.

Each of us will be dominant in the Sensing, Intuitive, Feeling or Thinking Myers-Briggs psychological functions. We are dominant in just one of the above four….it never changes.

You could consider the dominant function to be your very “favorite” psychological thing to do!

I like to look upon it as being the Captain of your personality!

Now you also have a second, third and fourth (very least favorite) favorite psychological thing to do. They will be the three (3) remaining functions you are not dominant in.

For example, I am INFJ. Therefore my dominant function is “Intuition” that is my favorite thing to do. My second favorite, we call it auxiliary, is “Feeling”. My third favorite called the tertiary function is “Thinking”. My fourth function or least favorite, called the inferior function, is “Sensing”.

Biggest Cause of Divorce!

You will have the most difficult time talking with someone who represents your least preferred function…your inferior function.

In my example above, remember I’m INFJ and an inferior Sensor….therefore anyone who is a “Dominant” Sensor will have the most difficult time understanding what I say.

However, if I know someone else is a Sensor, and they know I am a Dominant Intuit, we can take that into consideration as we speak to each other.

When we speak in the other person’s language (psychological language) they are hearing more of what we say because we are saying it as they want it to be said!! This is huge in the area of human interpersonal communication.

This one reality alone is the single largest reason causing miscommunication.

You know that repeated miscommunication leads to irritations and repeated irritations lead to anger which sooner or later leads to things like divorce, relationship separation, roots of bitterness between folks…a whole host of negative things that hurt people.

So identify you Myers-Briggs personality type.

Then follow the links below to find out the “order of your type dynamics”…which is your first, second, third, least favorite psychological thing to do as described above.

Then apply that knowledge to your everyday life in every situation where you are talking with someone else….if you don’t know their type…take a guess or have them come to this site and take the free Myers-Briggs test then you will both know and you can literally increase the quality of your communications and increase the quality of your relationships in every area!
