For those unfamiliar with MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), it is a popular personality assessment based on your psychological behaviors. It was developed by Katherine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Meyers. It places individuals into one of 16 personality types, with four different categories: Extrovert (E) vs. Introvert (I), Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N), Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F), and Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P).
