The 16 Personality Types

According to this search engine summary:

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a personality assessment tool that categorizes individuals into one of 16 distinct personality types based on their preferences in four areas: introversion vs. extraversion, observation vs. intuition, thinking vs. feeling, and judging vs. prospecting. It is designed to help people understand themselves and others better, enhancing self-awareness and interpersonal relationships.

When I was introduced to personality types as a child I thought it fascinating, but the one from back then was much less accurate. Still, I'm not trying to take any of this too seriously and wanted to make this page just for my own reference. The following are rough abridgements of descriptions from 16personalities.
