Enter a check for each answer in the column for a or b
Directions for Scoring
1. Add down so that the total number of "a" answers is written in the box at the bottom of each column (see next page for illustration ).
Do the same for the "b" answers you have checked. Each of the 14 boxes should have a number in it.
2. Transfer the number in box No. 1 of the answer sheet to box No. 1 below the answer sheet.
Do this for box No. 2 as well.
Note, However, that you have two numbers for boxes 3 through 8. Bring down the first number for each box beneath the second, as indicated by the arrows.
Now add all the pairs of numbers and enter the total in the boxes below the answer sheet, so each box has only one number.
3. Now you have four pairs of numbers. Circle the letter below the 1arger number of each pair (see answer sheet below for illustration).
If the two numbers of any pair are equal, then circle neither, but put a large X below them and circle it.
You have now identified your "type." It should be one of the following:
If you have an X in your type, yours is a mixed type.
An X can show up in any of the four pairs: E or I, S or N, T or F, and J or P.
Hence there are 32 mixed types besides the 16 listed above:
XNTP EXTP ENXP ENTX
XNTJ EXTJ INXP INTX
XNFP EXFP ENXJ ENFX
XNFJ EXFJ INXJ INFX
XSTP IXTP ESXP ESTX
XSTJ IXTJ ISXP ISTX
XSFP IXFP ESXJ ESFX
XSFJ IXFJ ISXJ ISFX
Having identified type, the task now is to read the type description and to decide how well or how poorly the description fits
You will find a description or portrait of your type on the page indicated in the table of contents.
If you have an X in your type, yours is a combination of two types.
If, for example, the E and I scores are equal and the type is say XSFJ then you would read both ESFJ and ISFJ portraits and decide for yourself which parts of each description are applicable.
One may also profit from reading the portrait of one's opposite to see how things are "on the other side."
(How one proceeds after reading one's own type portrait depends largely upon temperament.
Some of the types will read several other portraits before returning to the text, while others will return immediately to the text. Some may never read all sixteen of the type descriptions.)
As will be shown, the typology is use-tul if an observer can distinguish between four types of temperament. It is not at all necessary to make these finer distinctions.
However, such differences can become useful atter long study.
