The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a useful tool for understanding the expansive gamut of personality types in the form of a friendly four-letter result. Developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Briggs, this personality inventory considers four categories of comparison: extraversion versus introversion, sensing versus intuition, thinking versus feeling, and judging versus perceiving. Depending on your individual results, you’ll have one of 16 personality types to call your very own. And though we can go on and on about the validity of our outcomes (which actually are surprisingly accurate and enjoyable to share), here we have reexamined the results in a sartorial manner, proving that our unique personalities reflect the clothes we wear too. Read on to see how you can dress according to your personality result!
