What are Personality Types
The definition of a personality type is "a collection of personality traits that are thought to occur together consistently, especially as determined by a certain pattern of responses to a personality inventory." The types are determined by two main groups which are extroversion and introversion and they describe how you take in energy. These two groups are then put into sub-groups which are sensing and intuition meaning how a person perceives information. The next one is thinking and feeling which is how a person processes information. The last group is judging and perceiving and this means how a person uses that information.
