MBTI Types of Marble Blasters
I have become rather curious about the Myers-Briggs personality type theory (MBTI), so I have decided to poll the various communities I am a part of to see what types are most prevalent for which gaming communities.
If you do not already know your MBTI type, you can take a free MBTI test on 16personalities.com . This one also tests for an additional suffix letter, but you can ignore that. From testing myself and people I know, I have confirmed that the descriptions of the personality types on this website are quite accurate as long as the test-taker is honest with themselves.
Post your MBTI type below and pick your type in the poll for easy tracking!
For those of you who don't know, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI for short) categorizes individuals' personality types using four letter acronyms for a total of 16 overarching types. This is based off of the work of Carl Jung, who (among other things) categorized human brain activity into 8 functions.
The first pair of letters, E vs. I, stands for Extrovert vs. Introvert. Extroverts typically have an outward-thinking mind and are characterized by "mentally recharging" by spending time socializing with others. Introverts, on the other hand, are highly introspective and tend to recharge by spending time alone. Note that an Extrovert can be socially awkward and a loner while an Introvert can have a large circle of friends, but the general characteristic of where you go to recharge stays pretty much the same.
The second pair of letters, S vs. N, stands for Sensing vs. Intuition. This letter determines how you gather, or perceive, information. Sensing types gain information through observation and concrete thinking, preferring to focus on what is immediate or what has already happened. Intuitive types prefer to delve into the realm of ideas, coming up with clever solutions but often missing some of the finer details in life. While Sensing types live in the moment, Intuitive types typically are concerned about the future. Note that Sensing vs. Intuition is the only letter that does not have roughly a 50/50 split in the population, with Sensing types being twice as common.
The third pair of letters, T vs. F, stands for Thinking vs. Feeling, otherwise known as cold, hard logic vs. morals. This letter determines how you process and assign importance to information and how you come to decisions. Thinking types prefer to use logic when making decisions, but can sometimes have a severe lack of morals. Feeling types are focused more on emotional values, typically place high importance for moral values, and are better at sympathizing or empathizing with others, but they may be seen as illogical. Note that this is definitely a spectrum, as well-developed Thinking types can have a very strong moral compass, and well-developed Feeling types can be very logical as well. Note that Thinking vs. Feeling has a notable gender difference, with males more often preferring Thinking and females more often preferring Feeling.
The final pair of letters, J vs. P, stands for Judging vs. Perceiving. Judging types rely more on their Thinking or Feeling to interact with the world around them. They prefer to make plans, seek closure, and otherwise take charge of their environment. Judging types are usually more responsible, finishing tasks on time and maintaining an organized space, but they are usually worse at dealing with unexpected changes and have trouble improvising. Perceiving types prefer to use their perceiving functions to observe the world around them. Typically, Perceiving types are much better improvisers and handle change well. However, they represent nearly every single chronic procrastinator and are much less organized than Judging types.
No one type is inherently better than the others, and a person with a well-developed personality will be fully capable of doing things normally associated with other personalities. Your personality is a thing to be proud of, and knowing it well helps a lot with self-improvement.
For the record, I am an ENTP. This is despite the fact that I was incredibly socially awkward during my childhood and I still spend most of my time on my laptop, though this goes well with the label "The most introverted extrovert" that is sometimes assigned to this type because of its focus on introspection.
