The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or MBTI (yes, that famous four-letter personality test that your best friend uses to screen potential Bumble dates) is estimated to have been taken by more than 50 million people during the last 60 years. Based on C. G. Jung’s theory of Psychological Types, MBTI asks a series of questions to determine your personality preferences in four distinct categories:
- Extroversion (E) vs. Introversion (I)
- Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N)
- Feeling (F) vs. Thinking (T)
- Perception (P) vs. Judging (J)
Each category preference is combined to form your four-letter personality type (ENFP, for example). Your place in the 16 types then carries some (often astoundingly) accurate insight into your strengths, weaknesses, passions, and functioning in relationships of all kinds.
Intrigued? Well, with a FabFitFun take on the concepts from myersbriggs.org and 16personalities.com, here is a bird’s-eye view of each MBTI personality type. Not sure of your MBTI? Find out here.
