Never heard of the Myers-Briggs test? Boy, you’re missing out. Commonly used in marketing and counseling, the Myers-Briggs test provides you with a glimpse into your strengths and weaknesses with a four-lettered code. Each letter represents a facet of your personality, with two possible preferences -- extroverted (E) or introverted (I), intuitive (N) or sensing (S), thinking (T) or feeling (F), judging (J) or perceiving (P).
Of course, as the hip and modern individual you are (I mean, you’re on Odyssey for a reason, right?), your world has been dominated by the Internet and social media. Are you a Facebook, or a Pinterest? Or, maybe you’re more of an Instagram kind of person. Take a look below to find out what social networking site you are based on your personality type!
The Diplomats (INFJ, ENFJ, INFP, ENFP) -- Instagram
If I could describe you in one word, it would be “idealistic.” You seek the good in everything and everyone, always looking toward the positive things in life. Your ultimate goal is to seek harmony and balance in your life. Your imagination runs wild over possibilities, probably because you’re so creative and introspective. For this reason, Instagram is the best site for your deep, artistic self to shine through. From artsy fartsy pictures to cute selfies with friends, you can wear your personality and experiences on your sleeve, displaying your organic and agreeable nature for everyone to see. It is the perfect network for your creative vision.
The Rationals (INTJ, ENTJ, INTP, ENTP) -- Twitter/Tumblr
As an ENTP, I’m a proud Rational myself. We are best known for our logical problem-solving skills. We seek knowledge and yearn for achievement. We dream to understand how the world works, and we have an insatiable hunger to accomplish our goals. We are creative and independent, and we think unconventionally. We appreciate anything that is avant-garde and out-of-the-box. Sure, we can often come off as cold and sarcastic, but that’s just because we are honest and care about the truth. Twitter and Tumblr has often been branded as the home for “hip” millennials, your one-stop shop for all things sarcasm and meme-tastic. The greatest thing for your sense of humor.

The Artisans (ISFP, ESFP, ISTP, ESTP) -- Pinterest
You live for the aesthetic. You seek for sensory overload. You’re fun-loving and optimistic, and you focus on the present. Sometimes, you can be a little impulsive, and your devil-may-care attitude may guide you to roads that are dangerous and risky. Nevertheless, you’re always on an adventure to find pleasure and adventure. Pinterest is the best site to satisfy your hedonistic needs. Like you, Pinterest prides itself for being unconventional and creative. It’s everyone’s go-to for artistic inspiration, from DIY projects to party planning ideas. Your inner world is impulsive and sensory, with shapes, colors, and objects -- Pinterest manifests your thoughts into reality.
The Guardians (ISFJ, ESFJ, ISTJ, ISTP) -- Facebook
You’re strong, reliable, and loyal. Your strength is logistics, and you are concrete in communication and cooperative in pursuing your goals. You are practical, frugal, meticulous -- you never miss a thing. You can be a little self-righteous, critical, and judgmental at times, often to the point where you launch into long, stinging rants. But, that’s just your passion shining through! Facebook is perfect for the loyal individual who values family and friends more than anything in the world. It seems to be the universal social networking site, probably because it has been around for a while. For this reason, it is as sturdy and reliable as you are. While it also gives you the opportunity to display your emotions in longer posts, it also enables you to stay in touch with your closest friends. Plus, there’s always room for a “Facebook rant” from time to time.
