Take it with someone

Where you differ is where the tips are

Send your four letters to someone you work with. When they take it, you see the two of you scale by scale, with a line on working across every difference.

You & Ada

You’re an INTJ, beside an ENFP

  • Energy

    You, I: energized by time on your own · Ada, E: energized by people

    One of you thinks out loud, the other thinks first. Send the agenda ahead, and leave room to answer later.

  • Taking things in · same

    You, N: trusts patterns and possibilities

  • Deciding

    You, T: decides by logic · Ada, F: decides by values and people

    One of you weighs the logic, the other the people. Say both: why it’s right, and who it affects.

  • Planning

    You, J: likes a plan · Ada, P: likes to keep options open

    One of you wants a plan, the other wants room. Agree on what’s fixed and what can move.

Questions

About the 16 types test

Is this the Myers-Briggs test?
No. It’s Ari’s own twelve questions about work, in the style of Myers-Briggs, and it isn’t affiliated with The Myers-Briggs Company. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and MBTI are its trademarks.
What are the four families?
Psychologist David Keirsey grouped the sixteen types into four temperaments: Guardians (SJ), Artisans (SP), Idealists (NF) and Rationals (NT). Ari groups a team’s types the same way.
I already know my type.
You can save it in Ari without taking the test: on your profile, choose “Know your type already? Enter it” and pick a letter from each pair.
Can my type change?
Your letters show a lean on each scale, and leans can shift with your role and your season of life. Take it again any time.
