Many of the reasons why this happens can be understood using the context of personality type.
What is Personality Type : What is Personality Type Each of us has a unique approach to how we interact with the world and the people in it.
Psychologists, Anthropologists, Sociologists and other Social Scientists have attempted to identify, categorize and label different aspects and characteristics of personality
Personality Type : Personality Type The theory of Personality Type was originated by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung in the early 1900’s.
The theory is based on his observations that people seemed to have natural, innate personality preferences.
Personality Type : Personality Type Jung identified three dimensions that help us understand how people gain energy, take in information and make decisions.
Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs added a fourth dimension to help us understand how people interact with and organize their world.
Personality Type : Personality Type When we are speaking of Personality Type, there is no right or wrong, no good or bad.
The MBTI helps us define 16 different personality types. Each has desirable traits and some not so desirable.

Personality Type : Personality Type Type is used in three ways:
True
Contextual
Developmental
Personality Type : Personality Type True Type – is what Jung identified with your innate type. Despite your environment, culture and life experiences, you have a true type.
It may take years for some to discover their true type. The process of discovering your MBTI type helps facilitate this process.
Personality Type : Personality Type Contextual - regardless of our True type, we adjust our behavior to suit the needs the current moment, situation and/or circumstance.
We can chose to behave in a way that is not part of our innate personality (to improve success or avoid negative reactions)
Personality Type : Personality Type Developmental – as we discover how well we adjust our behaviors (in context) we may discover areas to develop skills.
We then develop skills that are opposite our True presence to improve Contextual use.
Caution : Caution There is no one way to assess or understand personality type
Understanding of personally type should start as a journey of self-awareness which leads to better self-management
It is not (and should not) be used to predict behavior or label people
MBTI : MBTI The Myers Briggs Type Indicator is one type of tool used to assess and identify common characteristics of personality type
It is used in a wide variety of setting – corporations, schools, churches, carrier counseling, and marriage counseling
History of MBTI : History of MBTI Builds upon the psychological theories of Carl Jung
Jung felt type was innate, each of us was born with what have been termed ‘personality preferences’ which we use when interacting with others
History of Type : History of Type Katherine & Isabel developed their first assessment to identify type in the 1940’s
Millions of people each year complete the MBTI to gain greater awareness of self for better self-management
History of Type : History of Type Since then, the tool has been refined and continually studied to insure reliability and validity
The assessment is not a measurement! Instead, it sorts people into categories of similar traits.

Understanding our type helps us understand others and how to adjust our approach in situations to attend to the needs of others.
Basics of Type : Basics of Type The MBTI uses a standard questionnaire to sort an individuals responses and help identify their personal preferences in each dichotomy
The result is a four letter code that begins to provide some insight into how we relate to others.
To learn more : To learn more A certified professional engages clients to administer the questionnaire and work with the client to interpret the results.
This process normally includes a process where individuals respond to verbal descriptions to self select their type then compare the results to the report developed from the standard questionnaire.
