Hello everybody. I have search for a thread that deals with this topic every where on nairaland but couldn't find anything. The only close thing to this was a thread about introverts, INTROVERTS LOUNGE (of which I am a proud follower)
link here: https://www.nairaland.com/1830091/
and some threads about extroverts and introverts myths.

I decided to open this thread cos I have a lot of passion about predicting a person's way of doing things.
Doing this have helped me understand why people act the way they do and have helped me to be more considerate of other people's behavior.
I also want to educate and introduce this concepts to many Nigerians who may not have discovered this field.
it promises to be fun.

The 16 personality types were created by Isabel Myers(she is INFP like me) and Katharine
Briggs as a way to categorize an individual according to their preferred way
of thinking and behaving. Each personality type is designated with a four-
letter code, like INFP or ESTJ, which is an acronym for the four key
dimensions of personality.

all in all there are 8letters which are grouped in pairs which codes your personality DNA. together the make up 16personality types


E vs I:

The Sensing/Intuition dimension describes how an individual processes
information.

Sensors focus on their five senses and are interested in information they
can directly see, hear, feel, and so on. They tend to be hands-on learners
and are often described as "practical."

Intuitives focus on a more abstract level of thinking; they are more
interested in theories, patterns, and explanations. They are often more
concerned with the future than the present and are often described as
"creative."

T/F: Thinking or Feeling
The Thinking/Feeling dimension describes how people make decisions.

Thinkers tend to make decisions with their heads; they are interested in
finding the most logical, reasonable choice.

Feelers tend to make decisions with their hearts; they are interested in how
a decision will affect people, and whether it fits in with their values.

J vs P
The Judging/Perceiving dimension describes how people approach structure
in their lives.
Judgers appreciate structure and order; they like things planned, and dislike
last-minute changes.
Perceivers appreciate flexibility and spontaneity; they like to leave things
open so they can change their minds.
