Show your Valentine how much you “get” who they are by sending them a Valentine’s Day gift based on their own unique personality. Based on a psychological personality test known as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, one can discover which common personality traits a person most embodies. While we all may collectively have a lot of similar personality traits displayed in different situations, the Myers-Briggs test is a clever way to see which traits stand as more dominant. Thus, exploring which personality type most resembles your sweetheart is a creative way to tailor your Valentine’s Day gift to match their personality. Each category differentiates between and ranks a person’s tendency to favor the following characteristics:
- Extrovert (E) vs. Introvert (I): Is your significant other more outgoing vs. quiet or reserved?
- Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N): Does your partner like concrete facts or can they imagine multiple solutions to problems?
- Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F): Does your partner like to contemplate things for a while and weigh the data, or likes make decisions based on hunches or feelings?
- Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P): Is your partner set in his or her way of thinking or more open and ready to “go with the flow”?
Valentine’s Day Gifts Based on Personality Type
Based on the categories above, you’ll find a combination of letters in the order of which traits best match your significant other in order of dominance. Is your sweetheart more traditional, private, outgoing, practical, artistic, or appreciates surprises?
