How do you communicate and how do you feel the most authentic in your communication style?

The MBTI can help people communicate more effectively in workplaces. Each personality type has 4 letters that represent Extroverted/Introverted, Intuiting/Sensing, Thinking/Feeling, and Judging/Perceiving.

We'll go more in-depth into these traits and how they show in communication in the workplace.

How Can I Find Out My Communication Style?

The first thing you should do is take the MBTI test and find out what your personality type is. Once you've found that out, you can start to see patterns in your communication style.

The first letter (E/I) tells you where you draw your energy from and how often you might communicate within a day. Are you Extroverted and do you get most of your energy from talking with other people all day? Or are you Introverted and like spending prolonged periods by yourself to recharge?

The second letter (N/S) tells you how you experience the world. This might affect the topics you choose to talk about. Intuitives may talk more about abstract and philosophical ideas, while Sensors talk about the environment around them.

The third letter (T/F) tells you how you process your environment. It has to do with your mind's processes and the way you communicate ideas. Thinkers may be more logical and compartmentalize their thoughts while Feelers talk openly and infuse their thoughts and ideas with emotion.

The fourth letter (J/P) represents the way you make decisions and navigate in the world. A Judger may be very organized and meticulous when communicating to someone and find solutions through a series of logical choices. A Perceiver may be more random in how they make decisions, seemingly on a whim, though there is always some sort of reason behind it, it just may not be seen.

Now that you've landed on your personality type, let's delve deeper into how it affects your communication.
