The Typology device is based on the research of psychologist Carl Jung. One’s personality kind is one of the 16 different personality types that can be used to explain your preferences along 4 dichotomies. There are four preferences to begin with in this theory.
  • People and things (Extroversion or "E"), or ideas and information (Introversion or "I").
  • Facts and reality (Sensing or "S"), or possibilities and potential (Intuition or "N").
  • Logic and truth (Thinking or "T"), or values and relationships (Feeling or "F").
  • A lifestyle that is well-structured (Judgment or "J"), or one that goes with the flow (Perception or "P").
Thus, the four dichotomies of preferences are the basis for personality types. The combinations of these preferences give birth to the 16 personality types.

Average performers can sometimes produce excellent results this has to do with the team role orientation and the task allocated to them.
