Myers Briggs General Assessment The Myers Briggs personality assessment taken by millions of people around the world. This assessment allows a person to take a survey to figure out which personality type they are out of the sixteen. The Myers Briggs assessment was created by Isabel Briggs Myers. This assessment is also based off of her son Carl Jung. Jung was a Neo-Freudian theorist who studied human behavior during World War II. The test has eight different letters, which the person will be evaluated on which of the four they are. A person is first surveyed on whether they are a extraversion or an introversion. An extraversion person is outgoing, receives energy from being with the

The next two are sensing and intuition. A person who senses usually pays more attention to the physical things like what they see, hear, and smell.
