SIXTEEN--COUNT THEM!

There are sixteen types of personality traits according to the Myers Briggs Personality test.

As we talk about all of these tests now available on line, let's think about what these sixteen types are and the USA population break down. Obviously these are inferential stats. It is a random sampling of 3000+ culled from a total pool of 16,000 using the Myer Briggs Test in 1998.

Let's look at what the letters mean before we do the stats, okay?
