In this episode, I give a little bit of background on the Myers-Briggs personality system to start the show. I, then, spend the majority of the episode explaining four major categories that make up every Myers-Briggs personality:

1. How a person gets energy
2. How she collects and processes information
3. How she makes decisions
4. How she approaches/orders her world

Afterward, I delve into the preferences for each of those categories.

1. How a person gets energy
   • Extroversion 
   • Introversion
2. How she collects and processes information
   • Sensing
   • Intuition
3. How she makes decisions
   • Thinking
   • Feeling
4. How she approaches/orders her world
   • Judging
   • Perceiving

Every category has two options, and every person, according to the Myers-Briggs personality system, prefers one more than the other. (For example, in terms of where a person gets his energy, he’ll either be an extrovert or an introvert.)

To explain the different preferences, I compare and contrast the preferences in each category and illustrate them with real-life stories.
