What is the first dimension assessed by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator?

  1. Perception

  2. Processing style

  3. General attitude toward the world

  4. Judging versus perceiving

The correct answer is: General attitude toward the world

The first dimension assessed by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is the general attitude toward the world. This refers to whether a person is more introverted or extroverted in their interactions with the world. Options A, B, and D may seem related to this, but they are actually assessing cognitive functions and preferences rather than overall attitude. Perception (option A) refers to how a person takes in information, processing style (option B) refers to how a person handles information, and judging versus perceiving (option D) refers to how a person makes decisions and plans. Therefore, option C is the most accurate answer in regards to the first dimension assessed by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.
