16 MBTI Types, Which One Are You?

MBTI ENTP INFJ....

In recent years, among the younger generations, the most popular social topic is no longer astrological fortunes, but the MBTI '16-type personality classification'. These 16 personality types are obtained through a standardized test scale and systematic analysis, and are divided into four major categories: 'explorers', 'guardians', 'diplomats', and 'analysts'. Then, these four major categories are further divided into 16 completely different personality orientations, through which we can see the individual's cognitive view of things and the judgment method in the face of decisions. Different personalities will show completely different tendencies. In the MBTI test, each personality is composed of four dimensions: energy attitude, perception function, judgment function, and life attitude. Today, we will focus on the first dimension - 'energy attitude'. The so-called energy attitude is divided into two aspects: 'extraversion E' (Extraversion) and 'introversion I' (Introversion). People of these two types have significant differences in the way of 'obtaining spiritual energy'. Today, we will focus on the classification of introverted personality - 'I people'. There are four types of introverted 'I people'. In general, 'I people' are often labeled as quiet and not good at socializing. But this definition is too simple and crude. Through a research paper in 2011, 'Four Meanings of Introversion: Social, Thinking, Anxious, and Inhibited Introversion', Professor Jonathan M Cheek, who specializes in 'introverted psychology', proposed that introverted 'I people' can be further divided into four types: social type, thinking type, anxious type, and restrained type, and each type has unique behavioral patterns and psychological traits. This article will take you to deeply understand the differences and characteristics of these four types of 'I personality', and help you re-examine the diversity of introverts. MBTI 'I people' type one: Social introvert (Social Introvert). 'Social introvert' does not reject social activities, but only shows the good side of interaction in 'suitable' environments, such as work occasions and learning fields that have to be socialized. This type of personality prefers small gatherings or familiar circles and attaches importance to deep communication rather than superficial talk. In the crowd, they can establish emotional connections with humility and keen observation, but after interacting with unfamiliar environments, they still need to rely on 'being alone' to restore energy. Their social mode is significantly different from the 'lively social' of extroverts, but more with a touch of deliberation and 'environment-induced' meaning. MBTI 'I people' type two: Thinking introvert (Thinking Introvert). 'Thinking introvert' is a typical 'thinker'. They like to immerse themselves in their inner world and have low demands for external stimuli. They often explore themselves through reading, writing or thinking activities. They may seem quiet in the group because they prefer to observe, internalize and imagine, and are not in a hurry to express verbally. The personality characteristics of this type reflect high self-awareness, deep analysis ability and amazing creativity. They are typical representatives of many creators and researchers. MBTI 'I people' type three: Anxious introvert (Anxious Introvert). 'Anxious introvert' is more like the 'social phobia' we are familiar with. This type of introvert often feels uneasy in social situations and is extremely uncomfortable with unfamiliar environments and others' gazes. This is not only due to the innate introverted personality, but may also be affected by past experiences. In social environments, they are prone to over-interpreting others' behaviors and reactions, resulting in anxiety and low self-esteem. However, this type of people also have relatively keen emotional insight and high empathy ability. They are very sensitive to subtle interpersonal interactions and often notice emotions that others ignore. They are a group of people who know how to 'observe words and expressions' very well. MBTI 'I people' type four: Inhibited introvert (Inhibited/Restrained Introvert). The biggest characteristic of 'inhibited introvert' is prudence and stability. Before taking action, they will spend a lot of time evaluating risks and possibilities, so they often give people a 'slow to warm up' impression. This type of personality is used to keeping a low profile, but it is not that they don't like to make new friends. They just choose 'who to open their hearts to'. Although it is not easy to get close to them and win their trust, once a trust relationship is established, such people will show extremely firm and loyal sides. Their cautious characteristics of 'thinking twice before acting' make them a stable force in the team and avoid various problems caused by impulsive decisions. The richness of personality traits. Through the above four major classifications, we can view the personality traits in MBTI from a new perspective. Introverted 'I people' are not all the 'social phobia' or 'not good at socializing' in stereotypes, but a group with multiple different aspects. When we understand the 'complexity' of personality more, when we meet people we just know or are not familiar with in the future, we should not label each other with rough 'I people' or 'E people' anymore.
