Personality Profiling Quiz #1


Answers are released and discussed 21st of june 14.00 on youtube and in a followup post on the website.

Level: Beginner Topic: Personality Profiling Date: 14 June – 21 June

The goal of this quiz is to become more confident in understanding friends and family members. It is not just about knowing what type another person is, but how that person expresses said type and what that type means to them. We’re often in a rush to know what type another person is, but true understanding requires you to also know why a person is the type they are, and what that means to them.

Basic overview

The primary aim of this quiz is to introduce you to Neojungian theory and application and to introduce a new method that you can use to type and study your friends and family members.

Using the list below, check in and mark when a person you observe appears to show more of the traits on the left or the traits on the right.
I also encourage you to rate your own confidence in this decision, purely for your own sake. With what confidence can you nail down each individual letter? A 1 would indicate that you have no confidence that you are right, where a 5 would indicate that you have some confidence, and a 10 would indicate high confidence. Aim to increase your confidence as high as  possible.

Hints:

  1. Does Schilling smile more with her cheeks (J) or with her jaws (P)? Compare with Ellen Degeneres for contrast.
  2. Christian Navarro is most likely an ENFJ. How does Dylan Minnette come across relative to Christian?
  3. How much emotion does Viola Davis face and particularly her cheeks convey?
  4. Does Theresa May strike you as a cunning person? (NJ)
  5. Introverted and thinking (IXTX) types have warm cheeks, but their desire to stay rational tends to make them appear like they’re somewhat “fighting off” a blush. Is this visible in Corbyn?
  6. If there was one key difference between McCain and Corbyn, what would that difference be?
  7. In Mads Mikkelsen, there are not a lot of facial expressions. What does a lack of visible facial expressions and emotion and affection indicate?
  8. Which types tend to appear, from a positive view, smart and tactical, but more negatively, arrogant and sure of themselves?
