[nextpage title=”…”]
Are you weary of choosing incompatible partners? Perhaps you’re involved with someone but feel ambivalent about the future. Finding the ideal mate requires risks, but you can improve the likelihood of success. It involves taking a revealing test, the Myers-Briggs. Here’s an overview of this reliable tool that helps people find true love.
Background
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a questionnaire that examines how people view the world and form decisions. The test is based on the work of Dr. Carl Jung, a psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology. Dr. Jung designed four personality models, based on the ways people experience the world. Researchers Katherine Briggs and Isabel Myers took Dr. Jung’s theory and added their insights. Together, they created a tool for identifying one’s personality.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
The MBTI is a test that categorizes people into 16 personality types, based on four ways they relate to others. Each trait is represented by the first letter of its corresponding word:
- E – Extroverted – preferring to focus on the outer world
- I – Introverted – tending to focus on one’s inner world
- S – Sensing – accepting basic information
- N – Intuitive – interpreting information and adding meaning
- T – Thinking – basing decisions on logic
- F – Feeling – basing decisions on emotions
- J – Judging – being critical
- P – Perceiving – being open-minded
The four qualities that comprise your personality from a letter code. Once you’ve cracked the code for yourself, you can find the type of person with whom you’re most compatible.
MBTI Assessment
The MBTI test is given by certified professionals trained to interpret the results. Administrators are educated in human development or psychology. They may be employed as therapists, counselors, coaches, and consultants. After giving the test, they evaluate the outcome and provide feedback. This service involves a fee, ranging from $40-$150.
To simplify the process of obtaining your personality type below is a shortcut. Each explanation includes the kind of mate that best suits you, based on the fact that opposites attract.
Opposites Attract Romance
When it comes to love, we tend to gravitate toward potential mates with opposing character traits. We do this for two reasons:

2. They complete us.
People who differ from us have strengths we’re missing. When we bond with them, we become balanced. Functioning as a couple, we complement each other.

Similarities Promote Friendship
However, this isn’t the case for other types of relationships. We seek people with similar viewpoints and interests. Our interactions tend to be more harmonious with folks like ourselves. This is why we choose friends and co-workers who mirror our values and qualities.

A Personal Story
I can vouch for the validity of the Myers-Briggs test. I met my husband at the age of 26. Four years into our relationship, we found ourselves frequently butting heads. We each took the test, administered by a certified professional. Blanca told us we were a perfect match. So we entered therapy to work out our differences. It’s now 34 years that we’ve been together.
Here are two things I can confidently tell you:
1. The Myers-Briggs test is reliable.
2. On the path of love, don’t get waylaid by the bumps in the road.
Any two people, willing to compromise and make adjustments, can sustain a loving partnership. In the event your types don’t match, use the Myers-Briggs tool to understand each other. You’ll gain valuable insight toward letting your true love thrive.
Here’s wishing you all the best in your quest for love!
