Influencers from Instagram often inspire travel plans among people. Another source is this little thing called your Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). For your information, the Myers-Briggs personality test analyzes four different dimensions of your personality which when combined allows you to be categorized into any one of the 16 personality types:
Extroversion (E) vs. Introversion (I)
Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N)
Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F)
Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P)
Take the test first if you have not taken it yet because your personality type can be a crucial component in planning your next trip.
Also, there are significant differences in how people prefer to travel and how they are motivated in doing so. With either short or long trips, each personality walks away having learned something slightly different. Here's how your Myers-Briggs personality type correlates to where you should travel next:
1. INTJ - Architect
Folks with a thirst for knowledge will enjoy a solo trip to a history-filled destination, so long as they skip the guided excursions and tourist traps and find their own path instead. Petra, Jordan is a UNESCO World Heritage Site full of sandstone structures and famed ancient sites, as well as lots of less-visited spots any explorer of tje Architect type will love discovering.
2. INFJ - Advocate
INFJs love to travel mindfully, taking their time to fully absorb and learn what life is like in each place. Fly off to Otaru, a port city in Hokkaido, where you could walk along the quaint canal lined with old warehouses reminiscent of Hokkaido's past decades.
3. ISFJ - Defender
According to careerplanner.com, this is the most popular personality type. Both warm and factual, you are organized and thorough, yet helpful and sympathetic toward others. Go on a solo trip to Tokyo, Japan or Seoul, South Korea.
4. ISTJ - Logistician
This personality type share its reliance on sensing and judging, which can translate to a personality that seeks out the most measured approach to any given situation. There is a deeper side to them that balances a slow-and-steady travel style with cultural curiosity. Kyoto, Japan is a safe bet. It has been pulling travelers for centuries with their combination of aesthetics, serenity, and history.
5. ENFP - Campaigner
The soul searcher; you travel to to discover yourself and your place within it. With each new experience or new fascinating personality you meet, you understand a little bit more where you fit in the grand scheme of it all. What may seem like disjointed experiences is actually a lifelong journey that you are taking inside of yourself. You will need a high-energy environment like Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
6. INTP - Logician
Sensitive INTPs are drawn to nature and creative stuff, so you should consider a trip to a natural wonder like Moraine Lake in Canada's Banff National Park. A secluded nature retreat would do you good. Filled with pine forests and towering mountains, it is unbelievably beautiful but much less crowded than parks in the U.S., such as the Grand Canyon or the Great Smoky Mountains.
