What are the 16 personality types?
Each 16 Types personality reflects a unique combination of four preferences:

- Perception (S/N): How you gather information—through facts or patterns.
- Judgment (T/F): How you make decisions—via logic or values.
- Orientation (J/P): How you organize life—with structure or flexibility.
