Will My Personality Type Change?

Well "no" is the short answer but it needs some explanation.

Your personality type is an instinctive "preference".  You are using all 8 behaviors on the Myers Briggs spectrum but instinctively preferring 4 of the 8.

You are using all of the preferences. This is the key to understanding that type does not change.

When you use non-preferred behaviors "too much", whatever "too much" is and means because it is different for everyone, then it begins to feel like your type is/has changed. Only because you are using non-preferred behaviors much more than before.

This might be like being right-handed but being forced by life to use your left hand very much more than before and it goes on and on and on. You will get used to your left hand and it will feel more comfortable in its use.

However, you did not become left-handed. In this example, you are still instinctively preferring the right hand.

Also, to confuse things a bit more, the older you get the more you have chances to use non-preferred behaviors. So aging also contributes to this idea that your type has changed. Again, it has not you are just getting used to using non-preferred behaviors more than before because as you live longer you have more opportunity to use the non-preferred behaviors in life.

I hope this is making sense to you because in my 33yrs of professional career advising and MBTI practicing this was one of the most frequently asked questions.
