The 16 Personalities refers to a modern adaptation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), which is a psychological tool that aims to categorize individuals into 16 distinct personality types based on four dichotomies:
- Extraversion (E) vs. Introversion (I): This indicates where you direct your energy β outwardly towards people and activities or inwardly towards thoughts and ideas.
- Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N): This reflects how you prefer to take in information β through direct and concrete facts or by interpreting and adding meaning.
- Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F): This determines how you prefer to make decisions β based on logic and consistency or based on the people and special circumstances.
- Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P): This reflects your preference when dealing with the outside world β with a planned and organized approach or a more flexible and spontaneous approach.
