“Whatever the circumstances of your life, the understanding of type can make your perceptions clearer, your judgments sounder, and your life closer to your heart's desire.”

Type Table as a 16-Room House
Most people prefer one side more than the other of a preference pair, but we use all the preferences every day—not necessarily with the same level of confidence or comfort. Type is inborn; we are predisposed to develop along certain typological lines.
Type does not limit you or box you in.
There are no better or worse types. Source: https://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/myers-briggs-overview/
introvert or extravert?
A key difference is whether you enjoy working with others Introvert = independence; enjoy working along; less affected by how others think and behave Extravert = outgoing; more affected by the behavior and thinking of others; enjoy working with others; are energized by having other people around
Sensing or intuition
Sensors = prefer a concrete, logical approach to problems; like to analyze the facts of the situation; good with details (may miss the big picture) Intuitors = enjoy being creative; solve problems with leaps of judgment; get impatient with details
Thinking or feeling
Thinkers = prefer logic over emotions; reach decisions by systematically analyzing a situation Feelers = rely on their emotional response; aware of others and their feelings; are influenced by personal values and attachments to others
Judging or Perceiving
Judgers = quick and decisive when drawing a conclusion; like to set goals, accomplish them, and then move on to the next task Perceivers = try to gather as much information as possible before drawing a conclusion; open to multiple perspectives; appreciate all sides of an issue; may have difficulty completing a task
Type is not static; it is dynamic. Even though the type table is represented by boxes, type is never meant to limit you or box you in. Rather than see the type table as 16 separate blocks, think of it as a 16-room house. In this house, your type preferences represent your favorite room, where you feel the most natural and comfortable. So, you likely hang out there the most, but it is important to tend to all the rooms of your house. There are times when you may need to go to a different room to better communicate, solve a problem, or tend to a task. Some people like their room so much that they are biased against the other rooms. All rooms are equal, have value, strengths, and challenges. People who "lock" themselves in their room are often rigid and one-sided. People who are self-aware honor their preferences first and stretch to the others when appropriate to the situation. They understand, appreciate, and value personality differences, which can lead to working with others in constructive ways.
