Why Do People Have Different Kinds of Personalities?

Imagine your brain is like a color palette. Some people have more red in their palette, they’re bold and adventurous. Others have more blue, they’re calm and thoughtful. These different colors are called personality types, and they help explain why we all act differently.

Why it matters: Personality helps us understand how people think, feel, and behave. It can even affect who we become friends with or what careers we choose.
