I took a look at the different possibilities and apparently there are four categories of qualities, hence the four letter acronyms : ESFP, INTJ, etc.
There are two possibilities in each of these four categories which are actually the extreme expressions of a "spectrum" :
- in the first category, you have Introverted/Extroverted, which are the opposite extremes of the direction of your attention (inward/outward) so to speak (these are my own words, psychology textbooks might phrase it differently) ;
- the same goes for the other three categories : Sensing/Intuitive, Feeling/Thinking, and Perceiving/Judging.
Apparently Jung considered the personality to be made up primarily of these four factors, each of which would find itself somewhere between two extremes. The percentages or intensities of these four factors taken together would make up your personality.
