The personality types on this website are based on personality theory created by Isabel Myers and Katharine Briggs, often referred to as the Myers-Briggs assessment, which measures your preferences on four different dimensions of personality type: Introversion (I) vs Extraversion (E), Sensing (S) vs Intuition (N), Thinking (T) vs Feeling (F), Judging (J) vs Perceiving (P). All 16 possible personality types with links to their respective pages are found below:

Preferences Explained

1. Introversion (I) refers to a preference for focusing attention and drawing energy from the internal world of ideas, reflection, and imagination. People who prefer introversion tend to be more reserved and contemplative, and they often require solitude and quiet time to recharge their energy levels. They are typically more comfortable in small groups or one-on-one interactions and may find large social gatherings to be draining.
2. Extraversion (E) refers to a preference for focusing attention and drawing energy from the external world of people, events, and activities. People who prefer extraversion tend to be more outgoing and energetic, and they often thrive in social situations and large group settings. They may find solitude and quiet to be boring or draining, and they often process their thoughts and feelings out loud.
3. Sensing (S) refers to a preference for focusing on concrete, tangible details that can be directly observed through the five senses. People who prefer sensing tend to be more practical and grounded, and they value past experiences and what has worked in the past. They often focus on the present moment and are able to navigate the world by relying on factual information and concrete details.
4. Intuition (N) refers to a preference for focusing on abstract, theoretical concepts and patterns that can’t necessarily be observed directly through the senses. People who prefer intuition tend to be more imaginative and future-focused, and they value future possibilities and what could be. They often look beyond the surface level of things to uncover underlying patterns and meanings, and they are able to navigate the world by relying on their intuition and hunches.
5. Thinking (T) refers to a preference for making decisions based on objective, logical analysis rather than personal values and emotions. People who prefer thinking tend to prioritize reason and logic over sentimentality and may have a tendency to appear unemotional or overly critical in their decision-making process. They are typically more comfortable with confrontation and debate, and they often enjoy exploring complex systems and ideas.
6. Feeling (F) refers to a preference for making decisions based on personal values, emotions, and empathetic considerations rather than objective logic. People who prefer feeling tend to prioritize harmony and compassion in their decision-making process and may have a greater sensitivity to the emotions of others. They are often skilled at understanding and mediating interpersonal conflicts and may prioritize maintaining positive relationships over being right.
7. Judging (J) refers to a preference for a structured, organized, and planned approach to life. People who prefer judging tend to be decisive and task-oriented, and they typically like to make and follow through on plans. They tend to be goal-oriented, and they like to have a clear sense of direction and purpose. They may become stressed or anxious if they feel like they don’t have control over their environment or if things don’t go according to plan.
8. Perceiving (P) refers to a preference for a flexible, adaptable, and spontaneous approach to life. People who prefer perceiving tend to be open-minded and curious, and they enjoy exploring new ideas and possibilities. They tend to be more comfortable with uncertainty and change, and they may struggle with making decisions or committing to a particular course of action. They tend to be more laid-back and casual in their approach to life, and they may enjoy a more spontaneous and unpredictable lifestyle.
