The Jungian Type Inventory is based on the types and preferences of Carl Gustav Jung, who wrote 'Psychological Types' in 1921.
Katherine Briggs and Isobel Briggs Myers are a mother and daughter team who build the modern system that is probably the most popular typing system in the world today. In particular, they devised a written test (The Myers-Briggs Type Inventory, or MBTI®) to identify the person's type.
Other variants have been evolved that are also based on the Jung typology. The most well-known of these is David Keirsey's Temperament Sorter. The test for this is freely available in his book 'Please Understand Me II' and used to be free on the web, though they have started charging for it in 2003. Another modern variant is Socionics.
Preferences
The Jungian inventory measures on four preference scales, giving a variable score to show the strength of each one. In the table below, the standard terms are shown first, with alternatives shown in parentheses.
The four preferences thus lead to sixteen types which use the E/I, S/N, T/F and J/P.
Below is a table with types, the percentage of the population and a one-liner description of their major characteristics.
You might notice that STJs are 24% of the population. This 'Left-side bias' is unsurprising, as our schools are workplaces tend very much to encourage logic and structure. This makes life particularly difficult for the NFPs of the world, but like left-handed tennis players, those that can handle the other side tend to excel.
