The “NF” Personality In Meyers and Briggs

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

In the Meyers and Briggs Personality system “NF”s are Idealists.

David Kiersey, creator of the Kiersey Temperament Sorter says:

“Idealists talk little of what they ovserve ‘of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings.’ They talk instead of what can only be seen with the mind’s eye: love, tragedy, heart and soul, tales and legends, eras and epochs, beliefs, fantasies, possibilities, symbols, selves and yes, temperament, character and personality.”
