Personality type is the psychological classification of different types of individuals. The type usually explains the qualitative differences between different individuals.
The Carl G Jung's Theory Of Personality Types:
According to this theory proposed by Jung in 1971 people can be characterized by:
1. By preference of general attitude into either Extraverted OR Introverted
2.By preference of function of perception into either Sensing OR Intuition
3.By Preference of function of judging into either Thinking VS Feeling
4.And finally in a person the function of judging or the function of perception may be dominant so Judging VS Perceiving.
