What is the Myers-Briggs (MB) Type Indicator
The Myers-Briggs is a tool to understand and discover personality type. It was developed by Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers, and the personality inventory has four categories – Introversion vs. extraversion, intuition vs. sensing, feeling vs. thinking, and perspective vs. judging. You can take this interesting test which would reveal your personality type, and then decide your style based on that.

2. ISFJ
Empathetic, loyal and conscientious, ISFJ type personalities are sensitive to others needs and feelings. They like to blend in, so their style is usually modest and unassuming, allowing them to fit in, rather than stand out.
3. INFJ
