		It's likely that the meticulous holiday planner would have a different personality type to their carefree companion, but each of them could probably learn to develop parts of their personality that would make them more like the other.
		Experts also caution that personality type should never be used as an excuse to avoid doing something and that no personality type is better than another.

		In teaching type, it is current practice to break down the Gestalt of type into the individual elements of the functions and attitudes and examine their influence independently of one another.
		The Type Faces model evolved as a means of explaining the observed patterns of behavior in people that seem not directly drawn from the four letters of their type.
		Type practitioners, in attempting to communicate with a world trained to trait psychology and to the practice of examining the parts rather than the whole, have slipped further away from Jung and Katherine Briggs who viewed the 16 types as representing 16 different paths to development.

		First discussed back in the 1920s by the psychologist Carl Jung, type theory suggests that human behavior is not random but predictable and classifiable.
		What type you are says quite a bit about you -- your likes and dislikes, your likely career choices, your compatibility with others, and so on.
		Once you understand the basic personality preferences under which people operate, as well as your own preferences, you can begin to find ways to more effectively work with opposite types or even your own type.

	INTJ Profile
		INTJs are known as the "Systems Builders" of the types, perhaps in part because they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability.
		INTJs can rise to management positions when they are willing to invest time in marketing their abilities as well as enhancing them, and (whether for the sake of ambition or the desire for privacy) many also find it useful to learn to simulate some degree of surface conformism in order to mask their inherent unconventionality.
		While they are capable of caring deeply for others (usually a select few), and are willing to spend a great deal of time and effort on a relationship, the knowledge and self-confidence that make them so successful in other areas can suddenly abandon or mislead them in interpersonal situations.

	Narcissistic-perfectionist personality type
		In the context of mating, the NP type is not aggressive and usually not predatory, although he will certainly acknowledge that he is a sexual being.
		From an examination of the psychiatric literature, including case studies and descriptions of premorbid personalities, we come to the conclusion that the mature NP individual is vulnerable to several different subtypes of schizophrenic decompensation.
		A clue to the nature of the schizophrenic decompensation at maturity in the NP type may be found in the case history of Deiter, an autistic child presented in Bosch's monograph.

	Myers-Briggs Type Indicator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The types the MBTI sorts for, known as dichotomies, are extroversion / introversion, sensing / intuition, thinking / feeling and judging / perceiving.
		It states that the person taking the indicator is always the best judge of what their preferences are and that the indicator alone should never be used to make this decision.
		Given the strong philosophical belief in types (as opposed to continua), one might expect that scores are bimodal with peaks near the ends of the scales.

		Adorno's work, for instance, on the 'authoritarian' personality, may in the end shed more light on issues critical to effecting positive social change than can be directly gleened from the Jungian typologies.

		They are "personality tests/games/instruments." But it is important that your future job or career fit your personality; so, "personality" is not without career implications, at the very least.
		If you want to learn more about Personality Types than is available online, the Resource Materials site has a very extensive bibliography of printed materials that you can go look for in your local library, or any bookstore (such as amazon.com or the one down on Main Street).
