What’s Your Personality Type? (Part 1)

Every individual has a unique set of personality traits that define who they are and how they act. Life is interesting that way, with us learning how to handle our differences and yet achieve success hand-in-hand. The Myers-Briggs 16 Personality Types system has helped psychologists across the world define the personalities of their clients, and is guaranteed to help you discover who you’ve been made to be and the reason behind what can sometimes be your loved one, colleague or boss’s seemingly irrational response to people or circumstances. Read on to find out more:   1. The Defender (ISFJ) Defenders love to back up a social cause, so it’s no surprise that they’ve been wired to give sacrificially and be empathetic. These naturally imaginative and meticulous individuals are usually loyal to their values and desire to contribute to society’s progress. Examples: Rosa Parks and Mother Teresa   2. The Inspector (ISTJ) Inspectors are very practical, realistic and have high levels of concentration when performing tasks. In a team, they usually bring logic to the table and are always after the hard facts of a case and against beating around the bush. They can also be described as dutiful, orderly and introverted. Examples: George Washington and Warren Buffet   3. The Provider (ESFJ)  Providers are the ultimate people persons and pleasers who are sensitive to the needs of others and strive to bring out the best in them. They are very committed to their responsibilities as they hate to disappoint, and strive for peace, harmony and conflict in all their engagements. Examples: Pope Francis and Elton John   4. The Supervisor (ESTJ) Supervisors are not afraid to vocalise their thoughts, opinions and desires. They love order, occupying leadership roles and can be deemed hardworking traditionalists by their counterparts. Law and order are their mainstay and that’s probably why they excel at establishing and implementing processes and guidelines for the common good. Examples: Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama   5. The Chief (ENTJ) Chiefs are outspoken, assertive leaders who love order and discipline. They make great strategic leaders with their innate abilities to quickly devise solutions and apply logical reasoning. These individuals are also good at spotting inefficiencies and creating long-term plans. Examples: Julius Caesar and Margaret Thatcher   6. The Inventor (ENTP) Inventors are extremely resourceful people who love to share ideas and interests with others. They seek innovative ways to analyse, influence and fix people’s problems, and usually do so cheerfully and creatively. Anyone in this category is usually a lover of accurate knowledge and enjoys pursuing it. Examples: Barack Obama and Benjamin Frnaklin   7. The Mastermind (INTP) Masterminds seek to solve problems and implement improvement through analytically thought-out processes. They tend to be independent, enjoy relationships with like-minded intellectuals and are comfortable being the brains of a team without being in the forefront. Examples: Isaac Newton and Mark Zuckerberg   8. The Architect (INTP) Architects are philosophical innovators who engage in theories and always see the “bigger picture” when embarking on a project or plan. They love to be on their own, and usually shy away from people they don’t know too well. Also, playing by the rules can be a struggle for them, thanks to their carefree nature. Examples: Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin   To be continued…   Related articles: Music and Your Personality
