Overview of the test
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a test that is intended to classify one's personality in 4 areas: extraversion vs. introversion, sensing vs. intuition, thinking vs. feeling, and judging vs. perceiving. If you want to learn more about the MBTI, you can visit the wikipedia page. Or you can just forget the learning and blindly take the online test. For more accuracy, I recommend taking the test and then verifying that the outputted type is realistic.
As a type is only 4 bits, it can't tell you everything about a person, just hint at one's general behavioral patterns and thinking style. There are also issues with the so-called "Forer Effect," which describes how people will sometimes pick certain choices only because they improve their self-image.
So while the test is not perfect, it can be interesting nonetheless, and a person's personality and behavior usually correlate to some degree to their type.
