Personality typology is the study of different types of personalities and their characteristics,
behaviors, and traits. It is a framework that categorizes individuals into different types based on
their dominant personality traits and tendencies. The most well-known personality typology
system is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), which identifies individuals as one of 16
different personality types based on four key dimensions: Extraversion vs. Introversion, Sensing
vs. Intuition, Thinking vs. Feeling, and Judging vs. Perceiving. Other personality typology systems
include the Big Five Personality Traits (also known as the Five-Factor Model) and the Enneagram,
which categorizes individuals into nine different personality types based on their dominant fears,
desires, and motivations. Personality typology can be useful in helping individuals better
understand themselves, their strengths and weaknesses, and how they interact with others.

degree of overlap and individual variation.
