Our personality is a major component of who we are as a person and is often how people see us. Depending on the personality type that is dominant within us, our reactions to different situations vary from others. And these varying reactions may be viewed negatively by other people because their personality is the exact opposite of ours.

In this episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty shares the key qualities of the different personality types and what can be done to improve our personality development.
