The KTS measures preferences, not skills.
We can all do things we do not prefer, but we “default” to preferred behaviors when we can, and when we are stressed.
![Page 8: Kts Barry](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050906/55521e7ab4c9054c668b48b1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Because there is no “best type,” there are no right or wrong responses—only those that are more accurate descriptions of you.

• Answer each of the 70 questions on a KTS answer sheet (10 – 15 minutes)
• Be spontaneous. Don’t “second guess” the inventory.
• Follow directions for tallying and deriving a four-letter “code” for your temperament type.
• Write your name in the box on the wall chart to show your type.
Then we’ll talk!

Interpreting the Types: Four Primary Domains
1. The E – I (extroversion- introversion continuum tells how one is primarily energized
E: social experience I: internal reflection.
![Page 11: Kts Barry](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050906/55521e7ab4c9054c668b48b1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2. The N – S (intuition-sensation) continuum tells how one creates meaning:
N: intuition, imagination and constructs of the mind; focuses on
possibility
S: facts, experience, evidence from the five senses; focuses on reality.
![Page 12: Kts Barry](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050906/55521e7ab4c9054c668b48b1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
3. The T-F (thinking-feeling) continuum tells how one prefers to make decisions
T: by logical or objective, rule-based criteria
F: by personal value judgments, case-by-case
![Page 13: Kts Barry](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050906/55521e7ab4c9054c668b48b1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
4. The J–P (judging – perceiving)
continuum tells whether one prefers to have things settled and decided or fluid and open.
J: pushes for conclusion
P: seeks more data, more options
