The 16 personality types, according to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)(r), are grouped based on four binary dimensions: Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I), Sensing (S) or Intuition (N), Thinking (T) or Feeling (F), and Judging (J) or Perceiving (P).
Here’s a simple table called “the 16 houses”:
Each four-letter acronym corresponds to a personality type. For example, ISTJ means Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, Judging.
You can look up each type for a detailed explanation of the characteristics associated with it. Each type represents a hypothetical individual who is most comfortable using four of the eight possible psychological preferences that Carl Jung theorized.
Please note, these categories are not meant to “pigeonhole” anyone. They are more like points on a spectrum, and individuals can fall anywhere along these spectrums.
