Are you an “E” person or “I” person? A personality (性格) test called MBTI (人格类型量表) is very popular these days. Can knowing one’s personality type by using the MBTI and other personality tests really help? They may. Here are the benefits of personality tests.
Better understand others
After taking a personality test and seeing our results, we can have a better understanding of all the different reactions in the same situation. This is important because we all have different ways of seeing and communicate with the world. No personality type is “better” than any other —just different.
_______
Maybe we’ve always hated talking on the phone but never really understood why. Or perhaps we’ve always needed much time to think about a problem before making a decision. By using personality tests like the MBTI, we can learn more about ourselves. This helps us better understand why we prefer certain things and dislike others.
Know which situations are perfect for us
Learning more about our personality type can also help us discover new ways to face challenges. Knowing what might work best for our personality type can give us new ideas on how to solve problems, deal with stress, and manage our work habits.

【推荐1】Being outgoing is good for your life. Those who are more outgoing like to meet lots of people and have more fun in life. In fact, being outgoing is not so hard as you think. Even shy people can be outgoing.
You can start becoming outgoing with your best friend. But the difficulty comes when you meet strangers or new friends. Smile more, and usually they will return your smile. In this way, you may have more talks. Start a talk, and just a simple “Hello!” or “How is it going?” is a good start. If you want to make interesting talks, you should read news in newspapers and prepare your views (看法), or surf the internet for new information and then keep them in mind.
