People have different types of personalities. MBTI is the hottest in 2020 which can test people’s personalities. MBTI is divided into 16 types: ISTJ, ISFJ, INFJ, INTJ, ISTP, ISFP, INFP, INTP, ESTP, ESTP, ENFP, ENTP, ESTJ, ENFJ, ENFJ, ENFJ, ENFJ, ENTJ. However, it is not clear whether it is right for many of these MBTI, to share accurate statistics on a person’s personality. Nowadays, there are a lot of posts on SNS about MBTI compatibility. Thus, many couples are dissatisfied because their MBTI does not match. These reasons make people have bad relationships nor they become closer together. As a result, these wrong statistics can make people think wrong and give a bad influence.

There is a website where people are using a lot and check their MBTI. This site called “16-personality” is a free site that tells people what type of MBTI they have. However, people can recognize 16-personality is an incorrect questionnaire through interviews and 16 personality partakers. They assert if people want to know their real personality (MBTI), they should pay and counsel MBTI professionals. This is because, “16-personality is not an expert interpretation, so people may misunderstand their personality and prejudice. If this website tells you the wrong information, this result gives people a misconception. Nevertheless, sometimes MBTI gives good influence to people, which personality types help self-development and give people the ability to objectively judge and criticize themself.

People also can see how they can develop at that age through personality types by dividing age into 1 year to 10s, the 20s, and 30s. From 1 year old to 10s, they should develop their senses and they need help from parents who give a lot of experience for their children. In their 20s, people should learn about their introverted relationships, the inner world and know what path people should take. These reasons are also important to find a dream that can lead one’s strengths well while filling one’s shortcomings. People in their 30s and 50s, they should develop self-development and should have to find their details to find out what kind of old life they are going to live.

These reasons should be known to people. If people are not using MBTI well, they can have contrasting relationships with people because of prejudice, so if people want to use MBTI well, they have to use it to develop themselves and make good use of it while replenishing their weaknesses.
