The 16 Personality Types for Kids & Teens
Every child has a natural personality type — a pattern in how they recharge, take in information, make decisions, and organise their world. Below are all 16 MBTI types, described for children and teenagers: what each type is like, their strengths and growth areas, and how to support them. There are no good or bad types, only different ways of being.
Analysts
Curious, logical children who love ideas, systems, and figuring out how things work.
Diplomats
Warm, imaginative children guided by values, empathy, and a strong sense of meaning.
Sentinels
Reliable, caring children who value structure, fairness, and looking after the people they love.
Explorers
Hands-on, spontaneous children who learn by doing and light up with real-world experience.
