Ever realized that there are specific personality traits that you are drawn to? Or that certain people interest you more than others? Well, that’s because as human beings, we like what we like. When it comes to dating or making friends, you want the person to be interesting to you.
Everyone has something about their personality that allows people to fall for them, and it can all be traced back to your Myers-Briggs personality type. Isabel Briggs Myers and Catherine Cook Briggs developed the Myers-Briggs personality test to make Carl Jung's work on personality theory more accessible and useful for everyday life. Their test places you into one of 16 personality types broken down based on extroversion vs introversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving.
While being attracted to someone does have something to do with looks, what really makes you fall for someone is their personality.
