The 16 personalities model is based on Carl Jung’s theory that suggests that we experience the world using four principal psychological functions:

• sensation,
• intuition,
• feeling,
• thinking.

It also suggests that every person has a preference for one of these functions (more details on Carl Jung’s theory here).

Later, Isabel Briggs Myers and Katharine Cook Briggs — none of them a psychologist — expanded on Jung’s theory. They suggested that there are 16 possible personality types (see above).

Over the years, more and more psychologists and researchers explored the subject and added their observations. Today, we have a plethora of books on the 16 types, and several personality assessments exist.

Your personality type consists of four letters; each letter describes your preference:

• Introversion or Extroversion
• Intuition or Sensing
• Thinking or Feeling
• Judging or Perceiving

To find your four-letter type, you need to take a test for each of the choices above and write down your results.

• Your first letter: For Introversion, write I. For Extroversion, write E
• Your second letter: For Intuition, write N. For Sensing, write S
• Your third letter: For Thinking, write T. For Feeling, write F
• Your fourth letter: For Judging, write J. For Perceiving, write P

As a result, you will end up with one of the personality types above, such as INTP, ESFJ, etc. Now you can find your personality type profile above and read it.

You do not have to take the four tests on the same day, but you can if you want to. Here are the links to the four tests again:

Introversion or Extroversion
Sensing or Intuition
Feeling or Thinking
Judging or Perceiving

Please note that this isn’t the MBTI assessment. If you are looking for the MBTI assessment, you can take it here.
