MBTI tests are available online for easy access.

The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a system in which people are sorted into 16 categories based on their personalities. Certain online tests decide if the person is introverted or extroverted, sensing or intuitive, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving. Learning about MBTI types helps people understand more about themselves as well as other types of people.

 

Analysts 

INTJ

INTJs are known as Architects. They are naturally curious and enjoy researching and analyzing any subjects of interest. Although respectfully independent, INTJs may be ignorant to emotions, fearing that it might influence their judgment. 

INTP

Logicians are known to be objective, original, and open-minded. INTPs value truth and are natural filters of false news and misinterpretations. However, INTPs are also known to be perfectionists who often feel unsatisfied.

ENTJ

These people are also referred to as Commanders. ENTJs succeed in leadership roles as they are efficient and strong-willed. Due to their need to keep everything in order, ENTJs may be stubborn or come off as arrogant.

ENTP

Debaters are witty, energetic, and value new inspiration. These people have a large range of knowledge and are strategic thinkers. However, as implied from the name, ENTPs are often argumentative and intolerant. 

 

Diplomats

INFJ

Advocates are one of the rarest MBTI types. They are known to be insightful, gentle, and have strong personal beliefs. As INFJs prefer to keep to themselves, they may find it difficult to open up to others.
