Kathy Gowans & Personality

E N T S J I … what?

Have you ever answered the 64 questions that comprise the Myers Briggs Type Indicator? I first learned about the 4 scales that measure the strength of individual preferences for information gathering and ideation, decision making and generating energy for interacting with the world (that’s a mouthful) in a meeting with Kathy Gowans. To this day, she is my personal expert on all things personality and I have drawn from what she has taught me for more than 20 years. I think you’ll enjoy listening to our discussion and learning more from her.

You’ve likely heard about extroverts and introverts and probably been told which you are at least once, but you still might not be familiar with the philosophy behind MBTI, which is founded in Swiss psychiatrist’s Carl Jung’s research and further explored and organized by mother-daughter team, Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers.

On the 16 Personalities page, you’ll find colorful images and delightfully descriptive profiles that serve up endless Aha moments as you read your personal preferences in four areas. I am an ENFP, known on this website as a Campaigner.

The four scales of personal preference are as follows:

1. Extroversion & Introversion 
Where you get your energy to act. 

2. Sensing & Intuition
How you gather information and learn

3. Thinking and Feeling
How you make decisions

4. Judging & Perceiving
How you approach the world
