Sixteen Personalities: Which One Are You?

Surely most of us have heard of the Myers-Briggs personality test. Though we may not all be aware of the meaning of the letter combinations, the common notion is that these types are composed of four letters.

A total of 16 combinations can be made with the four criterions, two choices for each.

The first criterion consists of Extroversion and Introversion. This category represents the how one chooses to direct his form of expression; whether towards the external world or towards their internal world.

The second criterion is of Sensing and Intuition. This illustrates the way in which someone perceives incoming information. Sensing refers to one who believes the information he receives from the external world, and intuition refers to information from the internal or imaginative world.

The third criterion, Thinking and Feeling, reflects a person’s processing of the perceived information, and whether he would make decisions based on logic or emotion.

The last criterion, Judging and Perceiving, represents how one implements the information processed. Judging means that he's plan-oriented, and perceiving means he is more inclined to improvise.

To find out which personality group you belong to, try this personality test.

This test splits the 16 personalities into four different groups: analysts, diplomats, sentinels, and explorers. Each group possesses a fairly specific trait that’s relatively apparent in a person. The analysts are logically driven, while the diplomats are more emotionally driven. The sentinels are more responsible, and the explorers are more flexible.




Interesting enough, the analysts group as a whole consists of the least percentage of people. Having met very few people from the group myself, it’s difficult to point out any specific characteristics.

The diplomats, on the other hand, I find generally “nicer.” They usually give more than they take, and enjoy a more peaceful environment rather than a heated debate.

Of course, these tests cannot define who we are and how we act. It’s merely a prediction of some traits we possess.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
