This document provides an introduction to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality assessment. The MBTI aims to assess individuals' preferences in four dichotomous dimensions: Extraversion vs Introversion, Sensing vs Intuition, Thinking vs Feeling, and Judging vs Perceiving. It does not measure abilities, intelligence, or normalcy. The document describes behavioral clues and common traits associated with each preference in the four dimensions to help individuals recognize their own type.
