029 – Understanding Personality Types Using Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator
In this show Brent Green joins us to discuss personality types. He helped me work through the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator (also known as MBTI) and I wanted to share this great content with my listeners.
Brent breaks down the four pairs of preferences also known as “dichotomies” shown below.
Where You Get Your Energy – (E) Extroversion VS (I) Introversion
How You Take In Information – (S) Sensing VS (N) Intuition
How You Make Decisions – (T) Thinking VS (F) Feeling
How You Live Your Lifestyle – (J) Judgment VS (P) Perception
Brent makes a very generous offer for our listeners that includes a 50% discount on all the profiles he offers.

Brent would recommend the “MBTI Interpretive Report For Organizations” if you are a business owner that would like to have your employees to take the profile. If you are looking for a career change Brent recommends the “MBTI Career Report“. If you are just curious about your personality and want a basic report then the “MBTI Profile” is for you.

You guys mentioned that the sales positions are looking for detail people. Maybe it is because a lot of sales people are not detail oriented and the people making the job description are fed up with non-detail oriented sales people. Then then make the job description totally opposite of non-detailed not realizing it is hard to mix certain traits. I hope this makes sense.

I think that makes a lot of sense. It’s expensive for a company to consider the fact that they may need to just hire a details person to support the sales staff.
