16 Personality Types ‼️
⚫️ The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator ⚫️
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is an introspective self report questionnaire (meaning that you answer the questions about your own psychological mind without the interference of a researcher) designed to indicate psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.
The MBTI was constructed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. It is based on the theories of renowned Swiss psychologist Carl Jung who had speculated that there are four principal psychological functions by which humans experience the world – sensation, intuition, feeling, and thinking – and that one of these four functions is dominant for a person most of the time.
🔴The MBTI was constructed for normal populations and emphasizes the value of naturally occurring differences.

Personality types ‼️
There are 16 different personality types in the MBTI, each is made up of a different combination of 4 letters and each letter indicates a different trait. After every 4-letter combination there is one trait that dominates over the other four and shows how confident we are in our abilities and decisions.
—-------------------------
⚫️Traits⚫️
🔘Usually there are 4 different sets of traits, each trait is the opposite of the other one that is in the same set; For further explanation see below
—-------------------
🔶1⃣ Mind (Extraversion/Introversion): This aspect shows how we interact with our surroundings⬇️
🔴 Extraversion (E): Extraverted individuals prefer group activities and get energized by social interaction. They tend to be more enthusiastic and more easily excited than introverts
🔵 Introversion (I): Introverted individuals prefer solitary activities and get exhausted by social interaction. They tend to be quite sensitive to external stimulation (e.g. sound, sight or smell) in general.
—---------------------
🔶2⃣ Energy (Observant/Intuitive): The second aspect determines how we see the world and process information⬇️
🔴 Observant (S): Observant individuals are highly practical, pragmatic and down-to-earth. They tend to have strong habits and focus on what is happening or has already happened.
🔵 Intuitive (N): Intuitive individuals are very imaginative, open-minded and curious. They prefer novelty over stability and focus on hidden meanings and future possibilities.
—---------------------
🔶3⃣ Nature (Thinking/Feeling): This aspect determines how we make decisions and cope with emotions⬇️
🔴 Thinking (T): Thinking individuals focus on objectivity and rationality, prioritizing logic over emotions. They tend to hide their feelings and see efficiency as more important than cooperation.
🔵 Feeling (F): Feeling individuals are sensitive and emotionally expressive. They are more empathic and less competitive than Thinking types, and focus on social harmony and cooperation.
—------------------—
🔶4⃣ Tactics (Judging/Prospecting): This aspect reflects our approach to work, planning and decision-making⬇️
🔴 Judging (J): Judging individuals are decisive, thorough and highly organized. They value clarity, predictability and closure, preferring structure and planning to spontaneity.
🔵 Prospecting (P): Prospecting individuals are very good at improvising and spotting opportunities. They tend to be flexible, relaxed nonconformists who prefer keeping their options open.
—------------------—
❗️Sometimes an extra 5th trait set is used:
🔶5⃣ Identity (Assertive/Turbulent): Finally, the Identity aspect underpins all others, showing how confident we are in our abilities and decisions⬇️
🔴 Assertive (-A): Assertive individuals are self-assured, even-tempered and resistant to stress. They refuse to worry too much and do not push themselves too hard when it comes to achieving goals.
🔵Turbulent (-T): Turbulent individuals are self-conscious and sensitive to stress. They are likely to experience a wide range of emotions and to be success-driven, perfectionistic and eager to improve.
