 MBTI Model
The theory of psychological type was introduced in the 1920s by Carl G. Jung. The
MBTI tool was developed in the 1940s by Isabel Briggs Myers and the original
research was done in the 1940s and '50s. This research is ongoing, providing users with
updated and new information about psychological type and its applications. Millions of
people worldwide have taken the Indicator each year since its first publication in 1962.

The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality inventory

is to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and
useful in people's lives. The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random
variation in the behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent, being due to basic
differences in the ways individuals prefer to use their perception and judgment.

"Perception involves all the ways of becoming aware of things, people, happenings, or
ideas. Judgment involves all the ways of coming to conclusions about what has been
perceived. If people differ systematically in what they perceive and in how they reach
conclusions, then it is only reasonable for them to differ correspondingly in their
interests, reactions, values, motivations, and skills."

In developing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator [instrument], the aim of Isabel Briggs
Myers, and her mother, Katharine Briggs, was to make the insights of type theory
accessible to individuals and groups. They addressed the two related goals in the
developments and application of the MBTI instrument:

The identification of basic preferences of each of the four dichotomies specified or

implicit in Jung's theory.

The identification and description of the 16 distinctive personality types that result from
the interactions among the preferences."

Favorite world: Do you prefer to focus on the outer world or on your own inner world?
This is called Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I).

Information: Do you prefer to focus on the basic information you take in or do you prefer
to interpret and add meaning? This is called Sensing (S) or Intuition (N).
Decisions: When making decisions, do you prefer to first look at logic and consistency or
first look at the people and special circumstances? This is called Thinking (T) or Feeling
(F).
Structure: In dealing with the outside world, do you prefer to get things decided or do you
prefer to stay open to new information and options? This is called Judging (J) or
Perceiving (P).

All types are equal: The goal of knowing about personality type is to understand and
appreciate differences between people. As all types are equal, there is no best type.

Big Five Model

The Big Five is so named because the model proposes that human personality
can be measured along five major dimensions, each of which is distinct and
independent from the others. The Big Five model is also sometimes called
OCEAN or CANOE, both acronyms of the five traits.

In the Big Five model, people are understood to have varying levels of key
personality factors which drive our thoughts and behavior. Although personality
traits cannot specifically predict behavior, differences in the Big Five factors
help us to understand why people may react differently, behave differently, and
see things differently from others in the same situation.

The Big Five describes people in terms of traits on a spectrum, and as such,
is a much more valid and evidence-based means of understanding
personality.

In the Big Five model, the five dimensions of personality are:

Openness
Not to be confused with one's tendency to be open and disclose their thoughts
and feelings, Openness in the context of the Big Five refers more specifically to
Openness to Experience, or openness to considering new ideas. This trait has
also been called "Intellect" by some researchers, but this terminology has been
largely abandoned because it implies that people high in Openness are more
intelligent, which is not necessarily true.

Openness describes a person's tendency to think abstractly. Those who are high

in Openness tend to be creative, adventurous, and intellectual. They enjoy
playing with ideas and discovering novel experiences. Those who are low in
Openness tend to be practical, traditional, and focused on the concrete. They
tend to avoid the unknown and follow traditional ways.

Conscientiousness
Conscientiousness describes a person's level of goal orientation and
persistence. Those who are high in Conscientiousness are organized and
determined, and are able to forego immediate gratification for the sake of long-
term achievement. Those who are low in this trait are impulsive and easily
sidetracked.

Extraversion
Extraversion describes a person’s inclination to seek stimulation from the outside
world, especially in the form of attention from other people. Extraverts engage
actively with others to earn friendship, admiration, power, status, excitement..
Introverts, on the other hand, conserve their energy, and do not work as hard to
earn these social rewards.

Agreeableness
Agreeableness describes the extent to which a person prioritizes the needs of
others over their own needs. People who are high in Agreeableness experience a
great deal of empathy and tend to get pleasure out of serving and taking care of
others. People who are low in Agreeableness tend to experience less empathy
and put their own concerns ahead of others. 

Neuroticism
Neuroticism describes a person's tendency to respond to stressors with negative
emotions, including fear, sadness, anxiety, guilt, and shame. 
This trait can be thought of as an alarm system. People experience negative
emotions as a sign that something is wrong in the world. Fear is a response to
danger, guilt a response to having done something wrong. However, not
everyone has the same reaction to a given situation. High Neuroticism scorers
are more likely to react to a situation with strong negative emotions. Low
Neuroticism scorers are more likely to brush off their misfortune and move on.

Analysis of Mr. Sunil Bharti Mittal personality according

to Big Five Model

Openness- Mr. Sunil Bharti mittal has high degree of Openness since he was
successfully able to convey his idea of starting telecommunication service, a
joint venture with AXA group of France etc.

Conscientiousness -Entrepreneurial and progressive, Sunil Mittal is ever-

striving, heading for the top, and enjoying an enterprising, ambitious and
determined personality to do things well, and an unyielding dedication to his
plan until the goals are achieved. He bounces back easily from setbacks and
can overcome any adversities or obstacles thrown in his way.
Hence he has high degree of conscientiousness

Extraversion- He posses less extraversion since he is  is a born leader, with

extra-ordinary drive and determination. Insisting on his right to make up his
own mind, he demands freedom of thought and action, and does not let
anything or anyone stand in his way once he is committed to his goal.

Agreeableness- Always seeking the forefront and the limelight, Sunil needs
to feel in command of important undertakings, and resists supportive roles.
He can become irritated and even domineering when important things do not
go his way. Mittal can be impatient with his shortcomings and those of
others, which results in lack of agreeableness in him.

Neuroticism-
He is very concerned with his status and fosters the appearance of success
and self-satisfaction. The need to appear well off propels Sunil to strive for
growth, success and the finer things of life failing to which Mr. Sunil could
become domineering, vindictive and violent.
