MBTI Personality Test: What Is Your Type?

MBTI, or the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, is a set of questionnaires that covers a vast spectrum of human choices according to specified situations. 

The MBTI test raised a rack of popularity these days. Some ask, “What’s your MBTI?” rather than, “What’s your name?” The sudden popularity of this personality test intrigues many curious wanderers to learn about their own. 

There are 16 types in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. These 16 MBTI types belong into four dichotomies:

  • Extraversion (E) vs Introversion (I)
  • Sensing (S) vs Intuition (N)
  • Thinking (T) vs Feeling (F)
  • Judging (J) vs Perceiving (P)
