Yay!!

Ooh, have you know? I'd be happy to explain!! That happens to be something in one of my biggest passions, so sit down - we're going to be here a while. 😜

Okay, so many people over the years have made their own interpretations of the sixteen personalities in personality theory. The one I like the most and know the most about is on a website called 16 Personalities, so I'll be telling you about that one. You can take a test there to find out where you fall in the personality spectrum!

As you've surmised by now, there are, in fact, sixteen personalities. The INTJs ("The Architect"), INTPS ( "The Logican"), ENTJs ("The Commander"), ENTPs ("The Debater"), INFJs ("The Advocate"), INFPs ("The Mediator"), ENFJs ("The Protagonist"), ENFPs ("The Compaigner"), ISTJs ("The Logistician"), ISFJs ("The Defender"), ESTJs ("The Executive"), ENFJs ("The Consul"), ISTPs ("The Virtuoso"), ISFPs ("The Adventurer"), ESTPs ("The Entrepeneur") and finally the ESFPs ("The Entertainer"). (Note that all the other personality theories have these types, but are interpreted differently and given different titles)

In 16 Personalities, all these types fall into four Role Groups. The Analysts (INTJ, INTP, ENTJ and ENTP), The Diplomats (INFJ, INFP, ENFJ and ENFP), The Sentinels (ISTJ, ISFJ, ESTJ and ESFJ) and the Explorers (ISTP, ISFP, ESTP and ESFP).

Then there are the individual traits!

Mind: Extraverted (E - gains energy from being with others and interacts more boldly with their enviroment) and Introverted (gains energy from being alone and interacts more with their mind rather than what's around them)

Energy: Intuitive (N - imaginative, open-minded, curious and dwells more on the past and future) and Observant (S - practical, pragmatic, fact-based and focuses more on the present) (in at least one other personality theory, "Observant" is instead called "Sensing")

Nature: Thinking (T - logical, competitive, emotionally inhibited and has trouble understanding the feelings of themselves and others) and Feeling (F - empathetic, sensitive, emotionally expressive and more in tune to the feelings of themselves and others)

Tactics: Judging (J - decisive, thorough, organised and value predictability and closure) and Prospecting (P - indecisive, spontaneous, go-with-the-flow and value change and freedom)

Identity: Assertive (A - calm, level-headed and confident. They experience less extreme emotions and cope with stress well) and Turbulent (T - self-concious, perfectionistic and eager to improve. They experience a wide range of emotions and are sensitive to stress) (Assertive and Turbulent are one of the many things unique to 16 Personalities)

Then, finally, there are the Strategies. In no particular order (cuz I can't remember 👀): Social Engagement (Extraverted and Turbulent), People Mastery (Extraverted and Assertive), Constant Improvement (Introverted and Turbulent) and Confident Individualism (Introverted and Assertive).

Soooo, the site could tell you a lot of this, but I couldn't help myself. I hope you enjoy reading all of this and it doesn't bore you! If you do do the test or something, I would LOVE to know what you get!!

(If you're wondering, I'm an INFJ-T! 😃)
