Myers Briggs came up with a personality model that spells out the character of every human being. According to him, you have a combination of any four of the following preferences: Extraversion, introversion, sensing and intuition. Every individual contains one of the sixteen different combinations of these four preferences. He also states that some people prefer an organized life compared to those who just live a day at a time, handling matters as they arise.
