The personality type theory that identifies people with codes based on their levels of four major traits—such as sensing-intuition or thinking-feeling—is called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The MBTI assigns personality types based on a combination of four dichotomies: Extraversion-Introversion (E-I), Sensing-Intuition (S-N), Thinking-Feeling (T-F), and Judging-Perceiving (J-P). Each person is classified as one of the 16 personality types based on which end of each scale they lean toward, resulting in a four-letter code, for example, INFP or ESTJ.
