MBTI: the 16 personality types

1|

Seeking to learn more about the 16 personality types of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)? Check out our in-depth personality profile page on www.wedomarriage.com.


And here are some links we've brought together to help you find the information you need.


BSM Consulting provides a one-page high-level overview of each personality type with links to more in-depth profiles. Further information is offered under the headings of Personality and Relationships, Careers and Personal Growth. An excellent resource and great starting point for anyone new to the MBTI.

Randall Associates also offer a one-page summary of the 16 types, with links to more information about each one. The individual type profiles are accompanied by a list of research-based insights into how each type acts in terms of relationships, career and general behaviour. For example:

  • INTJs identify creativity and originality as the most important features of their ideal job.
  • ESTPs list history, maths and practical skills as their favourite academic subjects.
  • ESFJs rank highest of all the 16 types in satisfaction with marriage/intimate relationships.
  • ISFPs watch TV three or more hours per day!

Husband and wife team Paul Tieger and Barbara Barron-Tieger, authors of Just Your Type: Create the Relationship You've Always Wanted Using the Secrets of Personality Type , operate the highly-recommended Personality Type website. And finally there's the official website of the Myers-Briggs Foundation.
