![What Type of Social Media Personality Are You? [INFOGRAPHIC]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/03NNLxYAfkW97pCAcSPmCSF/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647021258.jpg)
In 1921, psychologist Carl Jung changed the fundamentals of his field. From his theories on psychological types, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was born. To this day, psychologists distribute the psychometric test to patients, hoping to accurately boil down the psychological types of humans into 16 major categories.
Still in use today, the metrics determine whether test takers tend toward certain character traits, such as introversion (I) vs. extroversion (E) or thinking (T) vs. feeling (F). Once taken, test results produce an acronym per individual. For example, "ISTJ" is for an Introvert-Sensing-Thinking-Judging person.
The infographic below, based on data by CPP, publishers of the Myers-Briggs personality assessment, details the qualifiers for each of the test's characteristics, but furthermore, predicts the psychological types most likely to participate on specific social networks. More extroverts reported using Facebook than introverts, for instance. And people with inclinations toward Feeling spend more time browsing and interacting with people on Facebook, rather than those who tend toward Thinking.
