Abstract
An icon for indicating a person'"'"'s personality type and a method for creating an icon that visually represents a person'"'"'s personality type are disclosed. The personality type may be defined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The method comprises selecting a shape based on the person'"'"'s preferred approach to the world: a circle for a Perceiving preference and a square for a Judging preference. A vertical line is placed in the shape if the person is an Introvert and a horizontal line is place in the shape if the person is an Extravert. Colors are then filled into the two sections of the shape based on the person'"'"'s mental functions: blue for iNtuitive, green for Sensing, red for Feeling, and black for Thinking. The resulting icon is specific to the person'"'"'s personality type and is a memorable visual reference.
