Powerful Answers From The Tarot For Your MBTI Personality
The MBTI, or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, is an assessment that is designed to helping people understand their temperament / personality.
It is based on mapping against four binary concepts to create 16 types, which can be used to describe a person’s preferences. The MBTI dovetails nicely with the archetypal stories that are told by the Tarot.
Each personality type would have different questions to ask and answers to explore when engaging with Tarot.

ENTJ
The Question: How can I become a better leader?
The Card: 4 of Swords, Reversed.

The Question: How can I nurture those I love while balancing what I need?

ISTP
The Question: How can I best apply my skills in a way that enhances my personal freedom?
The Card: 3 of Wands.
You’ve already done so much of the work. You’ve thought big. You’ve planned, you’ve toiled, you’ve sacrificed and learned. All that is left is being confident of what you’ve built, and allowing it to come to fruition. Your horizons are about to expand!
ISFP
The Question: How can I best find and express joy?
The Card: 8 of Cups.

ESTP
The Question: What’s the best place for me to dedicate energy to get the most value?
