If you’ve ever taken the lengthy (but worth it) Myers-Briggs personality test, then you know just how crazy-accurate it is. But for those who have yet to take the test, we’ll give you a quick rundown. Basically, the Myers-Briggs test takes you through a series of personality questions, from how much you enjoy social events to how you travel. In the end, the test results in 16 different personality types, half of which start with “I” and the other “E.” The 16 different personalities are then divided into four types: the Analysts, the Diplomats, the Sentinels, and the Explorers. Like we said, the results are so on-point, it’s scary — and it’s exactly why, this year, we’re choosing our gifts based on our friends’ and family members’ Myers-Briggs personality type.
Now, having a deep understanding of all 16 personality types mean can feel downright impossible, but a quick guide to each type is understanding what the letters stand for.
E = extraversion
I = introversion
N = intuitive
T = thinking
F = feeling
S = observant
P = prospecting
O = observant
J = judging
