Everyone can use one or the other, but people have preferences in which they tend to use.

There is a consistency of trend of which people prefer to use in their daily lives. This tendency then becomes a specific pattern, thus resulting in our personality differences from each other.

Personality is a pattern of relatively permanent traits and unique characteristics that give both consistency and individuality to a persons behavior.

MeaningTraits : contribute to individual differences in behavior, consistency of behavior over time, and stability of behavior across situations. Traits may be unique, common to some group, or shared by the entire species, but their pattern is different for each individual. Thus, each person, though like others in some ways, has a unique personality. Characteristics : unique qualities of an individual that include such attributes as temperament, physique, and intelligence.

There is no right or wrong type. There are no better or worse types. Each individual brings special aspects that are unique to their relationships to others.

These type results from the MBTI suggest your PROBABLE type. YOU are the final judge of your best-fit type.

Type does not explain everything. Human personality is much more complex.
