This is interesting, but as far as I can tell you have not explained what the various initialisms actually stand for? 🤔

That would certainly help make your thesis more accessible to readers (like me) who are only loosely familiar with Myers-Briggs.

Thanks!

Thanks for catching this! I usually put in a link and just updated the post.

But if you want a quick and dirty version of what type you might be, here you go:

If you gain energy from being with people, you're an E (Extrovert).

If you gain energy from being alone, you're an I (Introvert).

If you like ideas and the big picture, you're an N (Intuitive)

If you like concrete stuff, things, and are detail-oriented, you're an S (Sensing)

If you value emotions and feelings over logic and analysis, you're an f (Feeling)

If you value logic and analysis over emotions and feelings, you're a T (Thinking)

If you make lists and finish tasks early, you're a J (Judging)

If you like to keep your options open and finish stuff at the last minute, you're a P (Perceiving)

Of course it's often not either/or--it's a sliding scale or spectrum, just like most human situations. But that's the basic idea.
