Career history
In the news
- Those of you who know me a little bit, know that I read with passion. So it was only a matter of time before that would become me writing the actual book. For years now, I've been very interested in personality typology, nowadays pretty well embodied by MBTI / "the 16 personalities" as you may know it. We all have done the test. Then we got a brief result (eg. "ENFP"), felt a little seen, but never really quite grasped what it actually means for us to be that specific type. That changes now. The mission of the16types is to help you
- I started something new: the16types. Our mission is to help you deeply understand yourself and the people you love. If you've ever taken the 16 personalities test, you came out on ENFP, ISTJ, or any letter combination in between. Most resources stop at those 4 letters (and I find most writing a little dry 🤫). the16types starts there too, in an accessible way, and then goes beyond, into the actual operating system underneath. The real you. How? A few ways, but the big one: 16 books. One ultimate field manual per personality. First
