You were saying that you did not understand how people came up with letters such as INFJ, ESTP, etc. The letters are based on a type of personality assessment known as the Myers-Briggs. It states that there are 4 fundamental dimensions of the personality. They are: 1. (I)Introversion vs. Extroversion(E)...how we interact with the world. 2. (S)Sensing vs. INtuition(N)...the kind of things that we more readily notice. 3. (T)Thinking vs. Feeling(F)...how we make decisions. 4. (J)Judging vs. Perceiving(P)...whether we prefer to live in a structured or spontaneous way. Based on this typing system, you can come up with 16 different personality types. You would have to read more about it to determine your type, but they have tests on the internet that you can take. Just look for the MBTI.
