The Four Preferences of Individual Personality

Katharine Briggs, along with her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers, developed the four personality types of today based from Jung’s eight personality types. These are extroversion and introversion, sensing and intuition, thinking and feeling, and judging and perceiving.


Extroverts possess high energy and they talk more than listen. They prefer to be around people and they are more of the outgoing and enthusiastic type. Introverts, on the other hand, have a quiet energy and they prefer being on their own.


Sensors are pragmatic and practical people who have good common sense. Intuitives are more of the inventive type and trust their instincts more than experiences.


Thinkers are objective in making decisions and they prefer analytical, logical reasoning. They are reserved, but honest and fair. Feelers base their decisions on their feelings and values. They are warm and friendly people who deal with diplomacy and tact.
