Personality Typing

Human beings love categorizing, labeling, and sorting things—even ourselves. Many people have come up with systems that sort us into categories based on common behavior patterns in order to better understand and interact with each other. Personality typing refers to identifying your “personality type” according to one of these systems. Some people find these labels—such as introvert, Type A, INFJ, or “The Reformer”—immensely helpful and empowering, though others find them limiting, or even used against them. Remembering that everyone’s personality is unique to themselves is more important than trying to decode those personalities—but it can be lots of fun!
