Your type does not determine your behavior. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is simply a categorization of how you "prefer" to behave and even this is to some extent situation dependent as while someone might be a "E" type personality (i.e. Extraversian), after a full day at work and meeting/greeting/interacting with people - their inclination at the end of the day might be towards the "I" spectrum (Intraversian).

- S or N
- T or F
- J or P
