MBTI® 16 personality types
Discover the 16 different types of The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® is based on Carl Jung’s theory of psychological type. The MBTI framework reveals how we approach the world and interact with others, offering valuable insights into what motivates us – and those around us.
MBTI indicates your personality preferences across four essential dimensions:
- Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I): Where you focus your attention
- Sensing (S) or iNtuition (N): The way you take in information
- Thinking (T) or Feeling (F): How you make decisions
- Judging (J) or Perceiving (P): How you deal with the world around you.
Your personality type is composed of four letters, which together help explain your natural preferences, strengths and potential development areas. Understanding your MBTI type is a powerful step towards personal effectiveness and lasting growth.
The MBTI system encompasses 16 distinct personality types, each with its own pattern of strengths, motivations, and interaction styles and offers a practical foundation for personal development and improved collaboration.

Why discover your personality type?
By exploring your personality type, you gain a clearer understanding of your inherent abilities, talents, and what drives – or hinders – your motivation. This knowledge provides a strong basis for meaningful personal and professional development. Knowing your type also strengthens your understanding of those around you. You become more equipped to appreciate differences and build respect, resulting in better teamwork, communication, and collaboration – whether at work or in your personal life.
MBTI helps identify growth opportunities, allowing you to focus on areas for improvement and leverage your strengths more effectively. This leads to more successful relationships and a balanced, fulfilling career.
