The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a common test used by psychologists, employers, guidance counselors, and individuals to better understand human personalities. They indicate differing psychological inclinations in how people perceive themselves, view the world, and make decisions. These slides detail how the 16 different MBTI personality types act to quarantine.
