About the Author

Preface

It was with the dawn of history that thinkers, philosophers and common-or-garden observers of life first became interested in the phenomenon of the human personality. What intrigued them was the way that some people display a marked similarity in their behaviour and attitudes despite their very different life stories and often disparate upbringings.

Observing this, the thoughts of many turned to reflections upon types of personality. One of the fruits of these musings which remains popular to this day is the typology devised by Hippocrates. That remarkable doctor and thinker of ancient times distinguished four fundamental temperaments; the sanguine, the choleric, the phlegmatic and the melancholic. History has seen many another, equally interesting endeavour to identify and describe recurring personality types. Although some of those attempts may seem oversimplified when viewed from a contemporary perspective, they played an extraordinarily important role in their time, paving the way for subsequent, more extensive cogitations on the human personality.

The theory developed by Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), a Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist, came as a breakthrough in the field. It was instrumental in popularising the notion of personality types and, as of the twentieth century, it became the foundation both for the formulation of what is now known as Jungian typology and for creating personality tests grounded in that typology, the ID16TM© test being a case in point[1].

Nowadays, personality typologies drawing on Jung’s theory are widely used in teaching, training, coaching and human resource management, as well as in career and relationship counselling. They also form a basis for numerous programmes geared towards supporting personal development and improving interpersonal relationships. The majority of global businesses employ Jungian personality tests as a standard tool in their recruitment and vocational development processes. This practice was initially applied primarily in corporations of American origin; however, in recent years, it has been enjoying a steadily growing popularity in Europe as well.

Every year, thanks to Jungian personality tests, millions of people around the world are able to obtain a more profound knowledge of themselves and of others and, as a result, their lives and their relationships are changed for the better.

We sincerely hope that your exploration of personality types, with our ID16TM© tools as your compass, will lead to positive transformations of exactly that kind.

[1] More information on this topic can be found in the ID16TM© and Jungian Personality Typology section.

ID16TM© and Jungian Personality Typology

ID16TM© numbers among what are referred to as Jungian personality typologies, which draw on the theories developed by Carl Gustav Jung (1875-19161), a Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist and a pioneer of the ‘depth psychology’ approach.

On the basis of many years of research and observation, Jung came to the conclusion that the differences in people’s attitudes and preferences are far from random. He developed a concept which is highly familiar to us today: the division of people into extroverts and introverts. In addition, he distinguished four personality functions, which form two opposing pairs: sensing-intuition and thinking-feeling. He also established that one function is dominant in each pair. He became convinced that each and every person’s dominant functions are fixed and independent of external conditions and that, together, what they form is a personality type.

In 1938, two American psychiatrists, Horace Gray and Joseph Wheelwright, created the first personality test based on Jung’s theories. It was designed to make it possible to determine the dominant functions within the three dimensions described by Jung, namely, extraversion-introversion, sensing-intuition and thinking-feeling. That first test became the inspiration for other researchers. In 1942, again in America, Isabel Briggs Myers and Katherine Briggs began using their own personality test, broadening Gray's and Wheelwright’s classic, three-dimensional model to include a fourth: judging-perceiving. The majority of subsequent personality typologies and tests drawing on Jung's theories also take that fourth dimension into account. They include the American typology published by David W. Keirsey in 1978 and the personality test developed in the nineteen seventies by Aušra Augustinavičiūtė, a Lithuanian psychologist. Over the following decades, other European researchers followed in their footsteps, creating more four-dimensional personality typologies and tests for use in personal coaching and career counselling.

ID16TM© figures among that group. An independent typology developed by Polish educator and manager Jaroslaw Jankowski, it was published in the first decade of the twenty-first century. ID16TM© is based on Carl Jung's classic theory and, like other contemporary Jungian typologies, it follows a four-dimensional path, terming those dimensions the four natural inclinations. These inclinations are dichotomous in nature and the picture they provide gives us information regarding a person’s personality type. Analysis of the first inclination is intended to determine the dominant source of life energy, this being either the exterior or the interior world. Analysis of the second inclination defines the dominant mode of assimilating information, which occurs via the senses or via intuition. Analysis of the third inclination supplies a description of the decision-making mode, where either mind or heart is dominant, while analysis of the fourth inclination produces a definition of the dominant lifestyle as either organised or spontaneous. The combination of all these natural inclinations results in sixteen possible personality types.

One remarkable feature of the ID16TM© typology is its practical dimension. It describes the individual personality types in action – at work, in daily life and in interpersonal relations. It neither concentrates on the internal dynamics of personality nor does it undertake any theoretical attempts at explaining or commenting on invisible, interior processes. The focus is turned more toward the ways in which a given personality type manifests itself externally and how it affects the surrounding world. This emphasis on the social aspect of personality places ID16TM© somewhat closer to the previously mentioned typology developed by Aušra Augustinavičiūtė.

Each of the ID16TM© personality types is the result of a given person’s natural inclinations. There is nothing evaluative or judgemental about ascribing a person to a given type, though. No particular personality type is ‘better’ or ‘worse’ than any other. Each type is quite simply different and each has its own potential strengths and weaknesses. ID16TM© makes it possible to identify and describe those differences. It helps us to understand ourselves and discover our place in the world.

Familiarity with our personality profile enables us to make full use of our potential and work on the areas which might cause us trouble. It is an invaluable aid in everyday life, in solving problems, in building healthy relationships with other people and in making decisions relating to our education and careers.

Determining personality is a process which is neither arbitrary nor mechanical in nature. As the ‘owner and user’ of our personality, each and every one of us is fully capable of defining which type we belong to. The individual’s role is thus pivotal. This self-identification can be achieved either by analysing the descriptions of the ID16TM© personality types and steadily narrowing down the fields of choice or by taking the short cut provided by the ID16TM© personality test (see next chapter). The role played by each ‘personality user’ is equally crucial when it comes to the test, given that the outcome depends entirely on the answers they provide.

Identifying personality types helps us to know both ourselves and others. Nonetheless, it should not be treated as some kind of future-determining oracle. No personality type can ever justify our weaknesses or poor interpersonal relationships. It might, however, help us to understand their causes!

ID16TM© treats personality type not as a static, genetic, pre-determined condition, but as a product of innate and acquired characteristics. As such, it is a concept which neither diminishes free will nor engages in pigeonholing people. What it does is open up new perspectives for us, encouraging us to work on ourselves and indicating the areas where that work is most needed.

The ID16TM© Personality Test

The ID16TM© Personality Test is a set of eighty-four questions concerning your reactions and behaviour in normal, everyday situations. The answers make it possible to determine your personality type.

Essential information!

The test consists of three parts. Each part contains twenty-eight questions about your personal preferences or behaviour patterns. The questions take the form of sentences which you need to complete by choosing one of two options.

The test is designed to determine your personality type and NOT your intelligence, knowledge or skills. The results are not in the least a value judgement! There are no ‘good' or ‘bad’ answers and no ‘right' or ‘wrong’ ones. So please don’t try to work out which answer is ‘the proper one’ and choose that. Each of the ID16TM© personality types is different, but they all have the same worth. No particular personality type is ‘better’ or ‘worse’ than any other.

Select each of the answers in line with the way you behave in the situation being described and NOT in the way you would like to behave or in the way that, in your opinion, one ought to behave. If you have never been in a given situation, then give some thought to what your natural reaction would be if you did find yourself in those circumstances. When a question concerns preferences, choose the answer which reflects your real inclinations and NOT the one which seems to be ‘correct’ or ‘desirable’.

You will need to answer all the questions. In the event that you can’t fully identify with either of the available choices, select the one which is closer to the way you think you would react or behave.

There is no time limit, so you don’t need to rush. On the other hand, don’t spend too long pondering your answers, either.

Each of the answers is followed by a letter in brackets: E, I, S, N, T, F, J or P. As you do the test, make a note of the letter which follows the answer you’ve chosen. When you’ve answered all the questions, count how many times you chose each of the letters. As an example, your results might look like this:

- E: 18;

- I: 3;

- S: 7;

- N: 14;

- T: 4;

- F: 17;

- J: 0;

- P: 21.

You’ll find the rest of the instructions at the end of the test.
