16 Personality Types - Which One Are You?
How do you process information?
If you prefer to deal with facts, what you know, to have clarity, or to describe what you see, then your preference is for Sensing. This is denoted by the letter "S". If you prefer to deal with ideas, understand the unknown, to generate new ideas or to see what isn't obvious, then your preference is for Intuition. This is denoted by the letter "N" (the letter I has already been used for Introversion).
How do you make decisions?
If you prefer to decide on the basis of objective logic, using an analytic and detached approach, then your preference is for Thinking. This is denoted by the letter "T". If you make decisions using values, and personal beliefs, what you believe is important, or, what others care about, then your preference is for Feeling. This is denoted by the letter "F".
How do you organise your life?
If you prefer your life to be planned, stable and organised then your preference is for Judging (not to be confused with 'Judgmental', which is quite different). This is denoted by the letter "J". If you prefer to go with the flow, to maintain flexibility and respond to things as they arise, then your preference is for Perception. This is denoted by the letter "P".

For example, INTJ indicates that you prefer Introversion, Intuition, Thinking and Judging (remember, this indicates preferences only - an INTJ also uses Extraversion, Sensing, Feeling and Perception).
