Did you know that everyone has a personality type, which can be represented by four letters? This is the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) theory, which divides people into 16 different types, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, and a unique view of the world.
MBTI theory is a very popular psychological tool that can help us better understand ourselves and others, improve the efficiency of communication and cooperation, and discover our own potential and direction.

Maybe you will find out which type you or the people around you belong to, and maybe you will have feelings for them.
