Understand every human with this simple tool

Immediately understand everyone.

You can start using the MBTI to understand everyone you meet today.

Most people are under the impression you need to take the test. Or force everyone you meet to take it. (Please don’t be one of those.) Truth be told, you don’t need a test. If you hone your observational skills, you can easily “type” someone in a matter of minutes depending on the person and your skill level.

Type = Assign someone an MBTI score

*Disclaimer — This takes time and practice and depends on your emotional and situational awareness. It also varies from person to person. No, not every person on Earth can easily be typed this way. That’s not what this article is about. This is for typing most or at least, as many as you possibly can.

For some, typing someone is a breeze. For others, practice is needed. I will outline the best ways to practice and put this into action toward the end.

I was horrible at this when I first started. But I have still made quite a bit of progress by just occasionally thinking about MBTI in social situations. It also helps to discuss MBTI related topics with friends/family. Not everyone has that luxury, but it makes a big difference. Trust me.
