Ah, the Myers-Briggs personality test. You’re probably familiar with it and have taken it at one point. Although it does have its limitations like any other personality test, it’s the best one I’ve encountered so far.
I actually was given the original book written by Isabel Briggs Myers. The best description of the 4 parts I've found are:
E vs. I: Extroverts cannot understand life until they live it. Introverts cannot live life until they understand it.
S vs. N: Sensors are observant at the expense of imagination. Intuitives are imaginative at the expense of observation.
T vs. F: Thinkers are task-oriented. Feelers are people-oriented.
J vs. P: Judgers look to finish things. Perceivers look to start things.

These are my first impressions of each type – I don’t want to generalize, these are just what first comes to mind when I think of the type. Wanted to make that clear before you all come running at me with pitchforks...
ISTJ – reserved, dependable, a bit awkward
ESTJ – may appear chill on the outside…but on the inside, not really. Like to impose views on others, often come into situations stubbornly with a pre-conceived idea how to do things
ISFJ – the most traditional/”keep the status quo” type, neither too hot nor too cold, but can get super moody at times....
ESFJ – the most ‘motherly’ of all the types, can be bossy at times for sure but generally amiable people
ISFP – the most artsy of all the types, whether it be a poet, artist, Instagram-er...
ESFP – the most naturally extroverted of the types, enjoys being in the spotlight and “life of the party”, not so great at keeping promises
ISTP – all that comes to mind is a guy in his own corner building a masterpiece with legos…
ESTP – only type I don’t know anyone personally, but I envision someone who embodies the “work hard, play hard” mentality – with an emphasis on the “play hard”
INTJ – evil mastermind, think very highly of themselves and lowly upon others (keeps this to themselves), usually pretty intelligent
ENTJ – the most natural leaders, hate to admit wrongdoing, easy to get along with as long as you don’t bruise their huge ego, good at negotiating/getting what they want, love to ask “why would you do that”
INFJ – the most mysterious type, non-conformists who just deal with situations differently from most people
ENFJ – the most naturally nice and optimistic people, may be accidentally emotionally manipulative at times but they’re so good at doing it you don’t realize it, and they don’t either
INFP – the type most likely to be found zoning out, inner romantics, very gentle
ENFP – the most passionate type, they feverishly devote themselves to the people and causes they care about, usually disorganized/all over the place though
INTP – people who have a lot of good ideas inside, but not nearly as often apply themselves
ENTP – the type best at expressing opinions/ideas, talented communicators with a curiosity for the unknown, maybe the least organized type though; like, the best idea generators but the worst idea executors
