Words to Describe Personality the Type Dynamics!

The MBTI uses different words to describe personality, we call them type dynamics.

You are working on four psychological, instinctive levels, or dichotomies.

We use different words to describe personality that indicate how you instinctively use your brain and prefer to behave.

The following is the basic list of personality traits making up the four levels.

Words to Describe Personality on the Energy Level

Extraversion	Introversion
Sensing	Intuition
Thinking	Feeling
Judging	Perceiving

Extraversion and Introversion describe how you are most instinctively ENERGIZED. What do you do to get energy, how does that feel, how does that look to you and to others?

Extraverts are naturally outgoing, getting their energy FROM PEOPLE.Introverts are naturally withdrawn, inward looking for energy from IDEAS AND IMPRESSIONS.

Extraverts are more naturally active, expressive, social, interested in many things. Consider the following list of personality traits NATURALLY associated with extraverted behaviors:

• oriented to the outside world naturally
• tolerate noise and crowds better
• focused on people and things
• prefer more to be around others
• talk more than listen (actually talk first than think about what they are saying)
