Introvert-Sensor-Feeler-Perceiver
- Introverts tend to be reflective, reserved and private. A popular misconception is that Introverts are shy - this is not necessarily so. They draw their energy from their own thoughts and the time they spend alone. Introverts do not need people around them all the time.
- Sensors live in the present. They rely on facts, handle practical matters well and like things to be concrete and measurable.
- Feelers let their feelings and emotions play a leading role because of their concern for other people.
- Perceivers prefer a lifestyle that is spontaneous, flexible and adaptable. They like an environment that is unstructured, and like to keep their options open.
