The topic of personality and its study has been constant almost from the beginning of humanity. From the ancient Greeks, up until this point, different disciplines have dedicated their time to study it. Personality has been defined by the American Association of Psychology as the traits, both individual and collective, that define the way of thinking and behaving of a person. In essence, there are many personalities and it is difficult to establish just a few, but for now, psychology has been able to ascertain the existence of 8 types that are defined mostly on the collective and individual traits of people. Given this info, we can then answer the questions thus:
