Rather than focus on individual traits, types or profiles focus on how multiple traits interact to influence behavior. There are many personality assessments that sort people into types. Some popular assessments include: - [Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)](https://www.themyersbriggs.com/en-US/Products-and-Services/Myers-Briggs) - [The DISC](https://www.discprofile.com/what-is-disc) - [CliftonStrengths](https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/253868/popular-cliftonstrengths-assessment-products.aspx) - [Enneagram (RHETI)](https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/rheti/) --- ## Sources Anderson, B., Giammarco, E., & Carswell, J.
