In the world of Myers-Briggs® personality typing, there is another world hidden within, which is the realm of ‘memes’. If you are unaware of what ‘memes’ are, they are simply visual or written snapshots that convey a message, whether inaccurate, or with bullseye accuracy, or somewhere in between and generally aim for comedic value.

Memes can be another way to learn about the different personality types, as humour and comedy can often be a great teacher.

Here are some memes collected online, some of which are referenced, and others not. In the realm of ‘memes’ it can be hard to find the original author or creator, which I hope you can understand. There can also be a lot of garbage in the meme world so caution is advised. These memes collated here have been selected because they convey a certain level of accuracy regarding the particular personality type and also have some level of comedic value.
