A personality type refers to the classification of individuals based on their characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. One of the most popular frameworks for understanding personality types is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), which categorizes people into 16 different types based on preferences in four pairs of opposing characteristics:
- Introversion (I) vs. Extraversion (E)
- Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N)
- Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F)
- Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P)
Other popular personality frameworks include the Big Five personality traits, which measure Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Understanding personality types can help in personal development, improving interpersonal relationships, and career planning by providing insights into personal strengths, preferences, and areas for growth.
