Adapted from an article by Patricia
Hedges in Psychologies Magazine, July 2006
In July 2006 Psychologies magazine included a supplement titled 'Self-Test Special'. It contained 44 pages of tests.
Its lead article was an eight-page article I wrote to help you discover your personality type. It contained an introduction to personailty types, a shortened version of the questionnaire and an abbreviated explanation of the results.
The results explained the way the eight characteristics - Extroverts, introverts, Sensers, Intuitives, Thinkers, Feelers, Judgers and Perceivers - look at the world, make decisions and react to events.
It then explained briefly how the eight characteristics combine to give 16 types. All this is explained in more detail in my book, Understanding Your Personality.
The 16 types were arranged in pairs - first the Extrovert then the Introvert type eg ENFP and INFP. Th descriptions looked at each type's strengths and weaknesses and showed ways to enrich your type by looking at your 'opposite' type.
