According to the Myers-Briggs personality test, there are four terms we need to understand in order to understand personality.
There is introversion and extroversion, determining how outgoing of a personality you are.
There is sensing or intuition, how you process information. There is thinking or feeling, how you make decisions, logic and facts or subjectivity.
And lastly, there is judging and perceiving, how you react to the outside world and adapt to change.
