There are no rigid borders in these categorisations. But you can identify similar people with similar traits with these categorisations. This is one of those categorisations. It&#8217;s called <strong>Myers-Briggs Type Indicator<\/strong> or MBTI in short. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.16personalities.com\/personality-types\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">All the types in MBTI<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to this method, there are 16 types of people. It&#8217;s like categorising colours. You know there is an infinite number of colours yet you categorise colours as red, blue, green etc. Likewise, there is an infinite number of different personalities among people. But for the ease of studying, we categorise all of them into 16 types. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are other categorisation methods as well. MBTI is just one of the most popular ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"370\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.nipunadodan.com\/dodanperks\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/08\/mbti-introvert-extravert.png?resize=602%2C370&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"MBTI types placed on Introvert-Extrovert scale\" class=\"wp-image-216 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.nipunadodan.com\/dodanperks\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/08\/mbti-introvert-extravert.png?w=602&amp;ssl=1 602w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.nipunadodan.com\/dodanperks\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/08\/mbti-introvert-extravert.png?resize=300%2C184&amp;ssl=1 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 602px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 602\/370;\" \/><figcaption>MBTI types placed on Introvert-Extrovert scale<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can float among several similar categories over the course of your life.

I don&#8217;t know whether I will fully be an Extrovert or not. Let&#8217;s see. What I wanted to tell you is that the change happened because I wanted to change. So it&#8217;s all about you.
