Overview of the 16 Personality Types

The 16 personalities model is a Jung-based, four-letter personality frameworkthat describes common patterns in how people gain energy, process information, make decisions, and organize their lives. Each type title (such as INTP, ENFP, INFJ, ESTP) is a combination of four preference pairs:

  • Extraversion (E) vs Introversion (I): where your energy flows most naturally — toward outer activity and people, or inner reflection and ideas.
  • Sensing (S) vs Intuition (N): whether you lean toward concrete details and present realities or patterns, meanings, and possibilities.
  • Thinking (T) vs Feeling (F): how you tend to make decisions — through logical analysis and principles or through values, empathy, and impact on people.
  • Judging (J) vs Perceiving (P): whether you prefer structure, planning, and closure or flexibility, spontaneity, and keeping options open.

On Taroscoper, each of the 16 types includes a brief personality profile with typical strengths, blind spots, work habits, relationship patterns, and growth suggestions. You can use this index as a quick reference for your own type, your friends, or partners, or as a way to browse different 16 personalities descriptions before taking the full test.

ENTP

The Visionary

Quick wits, restless curiosity, ideas in stereo.

As a Visionary, you are fueled by ideas the way others are fueled by sleep or food. Your mind is rarely still; it leaps from one possibility to the next, weaving patterns, spotting opportunities, and imagining new angles that others might overlook. For you, rules are invitations to experiment rather than restrictions, and every assumption is a challenge waiting to be tested. You see the world as an endless playground of “what ifs” and “why nots,” where lively debate sharpens thinking and sparks invention.

The Inspirer

As an Inspirer, you are powered by vision, curiosity, and a deep hunger for authenticity. You move through life like a sparkler — bright, effervescent, and contagious in your enthusiasm. Where others may see routine, you see possibilities. Where others see limits, you see an invitation to reimagine what could be. For you, life is not about following a prescribed path but about finding meaning and weaving stories that uplift and connect.

The Commander

Strategic drive, clarity under pressure.

As a Commander, you are wired to take charge of complexity and forge a path toward bold objectives. Where others may hesitate in the face of chaos, you see structure waiting to be imposed and systems waiting to be optimized. Your mind is oriented toward outcomes, and you excel at charting the most efficient route from vision to execution. To you, leadership is less about status and more about effectiveness—about making things happen when others are still weighing options.

16 Personalities FAQ

What are the 16 personality types?

The 16 personalities model describes sixteen four-letter patterns (such as INTP, ENTP, INFJ, ENFP, ISTJ, ESTP, etc.) based on preferences for Extraversion vs Introversion, Sensing vs Intuition, Thinking vs Feeling, and Judging vs Perceiving. Each combination forms a distinct personality style with its own strengths, blind spots, and motivations.

Is this the same as MBTI or 16Personalities?

This page is inspired by Jungian and MBTI-style typology but is independent. Taroscoper's 16-type model is not affiliated with the official Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® or 16Personalities.com. It uses similar four-letter codes as a convenient language for discussing patterns in personality.

How do I find out which of the 16 types I am?

The easiest way is to take the free 16 personalities test on Taroscoper. You'll get an estimated 4-letter type plus AI-assisted explanations of your traits, communication style, and growth themes, which you can then compare with the profiles on this page.

Can my personality type change over time?

Many people feel that their core preferences stay relatively stable, but how a type is expressed can shift with age, context, and personal growth. Taroscoper treats type as a lens for self-reflection rather than a fixed box — you might see yourself in multiple descriptions at different stages of life.

How does this connect to other Taroscoper tools?

Your 16-type pattern can be combined with Enneagram, Big Five, HEXACO, tarot, and destiny matrix readings on Taroscoper. That way, you can explore your personality from several angles: psychological traits, motivational patterns, archetypes, and symbolic/spiritual lenses.
