ENFJ (3w2)
Martin Whitley personality type is ENFJ, or Extroverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, Judging. The four letters of the type code are based upon the four functions of the inferior function of each temperament. Unlike MBTI which assigns each function to one of four letters, the functions are all assigned to one of the 16 types, thus the type code is only one letter long.
The differences between an MBTI and Big Five type are like comparing apples to oranges. The MBTI is based on Jungian theory, which has been heavily criticized for its lack of scientific basis. The Big Five is based on psychometric theory, which is based on psychometric principles, not on philosophical principles.
The Big Five model is an attempt to group people according to similar psychological profile, while the MBTI is an attempt to group people according to similar temperament. While the Big Five model is based on objective measures, the MBTI is based on subjective measures. While the Big Five model does not require a detailed psychological profile, the MBTI requires detailed psychological profiles.
I believe that there is a place for both models in our society, but I also believe that we should be careful about using the two models in a way that contradicts their intended purposes.
