In psychology, a person is considered as a microcosm, all personality traits, characteristics and properties in which are distributed according to certain patterns. Man is a rather complex creature, behind his actions they always strive to see some secret meaning in order to understand what he is as a person.

Step 1
Modern classification systems of psychological types, representing the results of studies of individual capabilities and characteristics of a person, are associated with the names of G. Eysenck, L. Dorfman, L. Sobchik, K. Jung, K. Briggs, I. Myers. Actions, attitude, views on the life of different people allowed us to distinguish two main types of them - extroverts and introverts.
Step 2
Extraversion and introversion are two opposite directions that determine the differences between people in their attitude to the world, based on four psychological functions - thinking, intuition, feeling, sensation. Both directions can coexist in a person at the same time, but one of the attitudes in life - introversion or extraversion - becomes dominant.
Step 3
Extraversion involves interest in the outside world, other objects, people. Extroverts are talkative, mobile, able to quickly establish relationships, the driving force for them is external factors. In contrast, introverts are immersed in the inner world, they are contemplative, restrained, seek solitude, their interest is often focused on themselves.
Step 4
The dominant function sets the overall tone for the entire style of human behavior. Based on this, there are eight main psychological types:
Extraverted Feeling
Introverted Feeling
Extraverted Intuitive
Introverted Intuitive
Extraverted Sensing
Introverted Feeling
Extraverted Thinking
Introverted Thinking
Step 5
The type of person depends on the direction of the flow of energy, everyday lifestyle, the way of making decisions based on objective or subjective judgments, logic. He functions in a variety of spectrum of preferences, develops his ability to function in spheres unnatural for him, some areas of consciousness, perception develop in the process of life's troubles, trials. All this suggests that it is impossible to enclose people in certain formulas of behavior, combinations are possible, in the context of which the natural preferences, advantages and disadvantages of each person can be determined. A holistic image includes an individual style, focus and strength of motivation, a type of interpersonal behavior.
