With a world of almost 8 billion people, you can only imagine the type of personalities we have roaming around. But in essence, personalities can be divided into 16 types to help group people.
The most famous personality type test is the Myers-Briggs Personality Indicator. You can find it online, and it's easily accessible to just about anyone curious about their personality.
When you know your personality type, you are able to know your strengths and weaknesses, understand other people better, know your likes and dislikes, and also learn which situations are ideal for you.
Personalities vary from person to person, whether you are related or not. You could even have similar characteristics to a total stranger compared to a sibling. Your personality makes you unique and different from the other person.
Your personality influences your characteristics, feelings, and thoughts. Part of it comes with you when you are born, but you develop part of it as you grow up.
No matter your personality, you should love yourself the way you are. It's your unique identifier and how people know you. You can be the loud girl that never keeps quiet, the bookworm who buries her head in books all the time, or the attention seeker who is always crying and getting sick constantly to get noticed.
Learn what makes you tick, what makes you happy, what motivates you most, how certain people make you feel, the things you like doing, what you are naturally good at, what traits make you less likable, etc.
Understanding yourself and why you do the things you do can open your eyes to a lot. You will be able to know how to carry yourself in public and not step on other people's toes while still being yourself in full bloom. Read our curated collection of ‘personality quotes' for more insight.
