Everyone parents differently, which makes things both very interesting and very frustrating at times. Conflicting ideas, opinions, and personalities are what make the world so special, but we're also not immune to rolling our eyes at things (and people) from time to time (OK, fine, multiple times a day). But how do you even know your personality type, and even more, how that directly affects your parenting style?
The famous and well-respected Meyers & Briggs Foundation identified 16 prominent personality types. Many schools and employers use it to help facilitate teamwork, but it's also been studied to see how it relates to parenting. While you may identify with one personality type, don't be surprised if your parenting techniques bring you to a completely different category. For example, I'm an ENFP, which is free-spirited by nature, but my parenting needs are much more rigid. Find your personality type ahead, and see if it's close to the way you parent.
