Myers Briggs: Personality Types An individual is either primarily  Extraverted or Introverted An individual is either primarily  Sensing or iNtuitive An individual is either primarily  Thinking or Feeling An individual is either primarily  Judging or Perceiving

The possible combinations of the basic preferences form 16 different Personality Types. This does not mean that all (or even most) individuals will fall strictly into one category or another. We all function in all of these realms on a daily basis. However by identifying which personality type we demonstrate more readily, we can identify our natural preference, and learn about our natural strengths and weaknesses within that context.
