Abstract

This study compared Ayurvedic and MBTI personality types. A person's personality type has a great influence on behavioral patterns and interpersonal relationships, so it is useful to use this as a tool for understanding people and for career guidance or counseling. The MBTI personality type is a combination of the polarities of the four preference tendencies. It is classified as a combination of extroversion-introversion, sense-intuition, thought-feeling, and judgment-perception. In Ayurveda, the ancient Indian traditional natural healing system, the three doshas are classified as vata (air), pitta (fire), and kapha (water). And, in terms of mentality, it is classified into three gunas: sattva, rajas, and tamas. Finally, the combination of three dosha and three guna shows the characteristic of classifying mind and body types. In Ayurveda, patterns do not stay in a single stage, but change with interaction and continuity. Therefore, it emphasizes psycho-spiritual growth through self-improvement. The MBTI personality type is the current state of inner psychology, and there is a difference in that the innate personality type does not change. Therefore, it should not depend on any one type classification in the classification of people. It is necessary to recognize and apply the differences using various types of classification methods.
