The first myth of personality is that there are personality “types.” There is no such thing as a personality type. Personality types are social or mental constructions, not actual realities. The notion is a surface-level, discriminative, dehumanizing, and horribly inaccurate way of looking at the complexity of what is a human being. There is no science behind the idea of personality types, and most of the popular personality quizzes were actually created by people who had no business trying to define people.
