| - At the beginning of each type, there will be a letter I or E. If you have an I at the beginning, you are an introvert. Introverts are quiet, observant, people who prefer to spend time alone rather than with other people. These types of people may actually like social interaction very much, but need time alone to recharge their "personal batteries." They often listen more than talk when it comes to conversations, and do not like noise or crowds. Extraverts, on the other hand, love social interaction and need time with other people in order to be stable. They are easily likeable friends or leaders, and find being alone quite boring. They are very attracting to introverts because of their social nature, which is appreciated in culture.
- Fundamental to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is the concept of Psychological Type as originally developed by C. G. Jung. The typology model originated by Jung (and further developed by Briggs and Myers) regards personality type as similar to left or right handedness: individuals are either born with, or develop, certain preferred ways of thinking and acting. The MBTI sorts some of these psychological differences into four opposite pairs, or "dichotomies", with a resulting 16 possible psychological types. None of these types is "better" or "worse"; however, Briggs and Myers recognized that everyone naturally prefers one overall combination of type differences. In the same way that writing with the left hand is hard work for a right-hander, so people tend to find using their opposite psychological preferences more difficult, even if they can become more proficient (and therefore behaviorally flexible) with practice and development. The 16 different types are often referred to by an abbreviation of four letters, the initial letters of each of their four type preferences (except in the case of Intuition), for instance:
* ESTJ - Extraversion, Sensing, Thinking, Judging
* INFP - Introversion, iNtuition, Feeling, Perceiving And so on for all 16 possible type combinations.
