depth) and energy creation from external means.
- Engaged with the external world and enjoy interacting with
people, and are often perceived as full of energy.

 Neuroticism (sensitive/nervous)

stress and are more likely to interpret ordinary situations

 The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
 Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) – an introspective self-
report questionnaire indicating differing psychological
preferences in how people perceive the world and make
decisions. A personality test that taps four characteristics and
classifies people into 1 of 16 personality types
 Personality Types
- Extroverted vs. Introverted (E or I): This dichotomy refers
to how a person directs their energy. Extraverts tend to
focus their energy outward, while introverts tend to focus
their energy inward.
- Sensing vs. Intuitive (S or N): This dichotomy refers to how
a person perceives information. Sensors tend to focus on
concrete, practical information, while intuitive tend to focus
on abstract, theoretical information.
- Thinking vs. Feeling (T or F): This dichotomy refers to how
a person makes decisions. Thinkers tend to rely on logic
and reason, while feelers tend to rely on their emotions
and values.
- Judging vs. Perceiving (P or J): This dichotomy refers to how
a person approaches the outside world. Judgers tend to be
structured and organized, while perceivers tend to be
flexible and adaptable.
 16 personality types:
Example:
- ISTJ - The Inspector: Reserved and practical, they tend to
be loyal, orderly, and traditional.
- ISTP - The Crafter: Highly independent, they enjoy new
experiences that provide first-hand learning.
