What is a personality type?
Most people will describe themselves using their job, gender, or national identity. However, some describe themselves based on their identity, values, and core beliefs.
Personality types are a tool for self-awareness and for explaining how you think to a future employer, a friend, or a family member. People use personality psychology as a tool in dating, finding a promising career, or making decisions regarding their personal growth.
You can learn more about yourself and what you want by comparing yourself to others. Just remember, a personality type can only fit you in part. You’re a unique person, and while you can relate to a type, you’ll find that you have many other personality traits outside of a type, too.
