Cognitive Style Inventory Your Personality Test- 01-November, 2013

Determining one's natural Myers Briggs Personality Type is frequently complicated by our life-long learning experiences. The classic question is ! "m # this $ay because # learned it or is this %ust the $ay # am&! #n re'ie$ing the comparisons in our in'entory( you may find yourself dra$n equally to opposing personality preference choices. #n such cases # suggest you try to thin) bac) to how you were before the age of *+ or e'en younger if you can recall. The rationale for this suggestion is the fact that by the time $e are , years old( the core of our cogniti'e organi-ation is $ell-fixed. . . although the brain continues to allo$ some plasticity until puberty. "fter the onset of puberty( our adult learning begins to o'erlay our core personality - $hich is $hen the blending of nature and nurture becomes more e'ident. .or some people( this !learning! ser'es to strengthen $hat is already there( but $ith others it produces multiple faces to personality. Disco'ering or redisco'ering this innate core of yourself is part of the %ourney of using personality types to enrich your life. /ach of the four questions of the 01# in'entory has t$o parts. The first part is a general description of the preference choices. The second part is a list of paired statements. 2se both parts to form your opinion on your more dominant preference.
