What Is Your Personality Type? DISC & 16 Personalities Explained
Have you ever wondered why some people love to talk while others prefer to listen? Or why some people enjoy taking risks while others like to plan everything? Personality tests help us understand these differences. Two popular tests are DISC and 16 Personalities (MBTI).
DISC Personality Test
The DISC test groups people into four main personality types based on how they behave:
D – Dominance: Confident, likes to be in charge, enjoys challenges.
I – Influence: Social, fun, and loves talking to people.
S – Steadiness: Kind, patient, and prefers a calm environment.
C – Conscientiousness: Careful, likes rules, and pays attention to details.
Many companies use DISC to help teams work better together. It shows how different people like to communicate and solve problems.

16 Personalities (MBTI)
The 16 Personalities test is based on four different choices people make:
Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I) – Do you get energy from being around people or from being alone?
Sensing (S) or Intuition (N) – Do you prefer facts and details or ideas and possibilities?
Thinking (T) or Feeling (F) – Do you make decisions with logic or emotions?
Judging (J) or Perceiving (P) – Do you like plans and structure or flexibility and spontaneity?
These choices create 16 personality types, like ISTJ (serious and organized) or ENFP (creative and outgoing). People use this test to learn more about themselves, their careers, and how they relate to others.
