And Intrigue Your Friends!
These fabulous shirts not only look good but they say a lot about your personality and will intrigue your friends.
There are different shirt designs available for each personality type (as defined by Isabel Briggs Myers' personality type theory). The examples (above and right) are INTJ shirts, available either showing or without the four letter code.
NB: There is a tendency for all printed shirts to fade with washing. To help the shirt last longer, this design may appear slightly darker and with more intense coloring/colouring* when you first receive it.
*Color is US English spelling, colour is international English spelling.
How do I work out the personality type code from the shirt?
The simplest way to work out the personality type from the shirt is to ask the following questions:- Is the large ellipse at the top shifted to the left or to the right?
If it is shifted to the left, this represents Introversion (I). If it is shifted to the right, it represents Extraversion (E). This gives you the first letter of the personality type code.In the example (right), the largest ellipse is shifted to the left, so the first letter is "I".
- What are the capital letters in the top two ellipses?
This gives you the middle two letters of your type code.In the example above, the two capital letters are N, in iNtuition, and T, in Thinking. The second and third letters are therefore "NT".
NB: Sometimes the letters might be reversed, eg: the top ellipse might be T and the second N, but in Isabel Briggs Myers' personality type theory this is always written as "NT", never as "TN". - What is the highest ellipse that is shifted to the right? If it is Feeling or Thinking, the last letter is J. If it is Sensing or iNtuition, the last letter is P
In the above diagram, the highest ellipse that is shifted to the right is Thinking (although iNtuition is higher, it is ignored because it is shifted to the left). So the last letter is J.

What other meanings do the pictures have?
There is a lot more to Isabel Briggs Myers' personality theory than just four letters. Whilst the diagrams convey the four letter type code, they also convey, pictorially, much more of the depth of personality. Below is some brief explanation of those meanings, but to understand them fully you may need to read books such as "Gifts Differing" by Isabel Briggs Myers and "Personality Type: An Owner's Manual" by Lenore Thomson Bentz:
Wearing this shirt not only conveys your presonality type, but it conveys a lot about your type's depth and sophistication. To order your shirt, click on your personality type (right) |
