MBTI Framework · 16 Types
All 16 MBTI Personality Types

Understanding the Four Rooms
The Johari Window, developed by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in 1955, maps personality into four quadrants. Each MBTI type expresses these rooms differently based on their cognitive function stack.
The Arena
Your public self, shaped by dominant and auxiliary functions. Known to you and others.
The Mask
What you know about yourself but conceal. Core fears, hidden behaviors, and defense mechanisms.
The Blind Spot
What others see in you that you cannot. Driven by the inferior function.
The Shadow
Unconscious patterns that emerge under stress. The four shadow functions opposite your main stack.
