The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a test that is intended to classify one's personality in 4 areas: extraversion vs. intoversion, sensing vs. intuition, thinking vs. feeling, and judging vs. perceiving (which is a meta-category intended to tell which of the previous two preferences a person likes to use with the outer world).

As a type is only 4 bits, it can't tell you everything about a person. There are also issues with the so-called Forer Effect, which explains how people will sometimes pick certain choices because they improve their self-image.
