There are 4 pairs: Introvert (I) - Extravert (E) Sensing (S) - Intuition (N) Thinking (T) - Feeling (F) Judging (J) - Perceiving (P) “Extravert” ≠ talkative or loud “Introvert” ≠ shy or inhibited “Feeling” ≠ emotional “Judging” ≠ judgmental “Perceiving” ≠ perceptive Pass out MBTI Chart and student specific MBTI results.
