This Is What Each Myers-Briggs Personality Type Needs In A Relationship
We all have different needs and wants in relationships. In fact, our preferences are highly intertwined with our personality type, that’s why we look differently at potential partners. They may be partner and marriage potential for one personality type, but for another just a little flirt or a one-night stand. If you are not in a relationship, if you are looking for a soulmate, based on your personality type, you can know what characteristics to look for in a partner and which traits are less important.
