The Identity Project

We love to label ourselves and each other to be able categorize and describe who we are better. While this can be beneficial in building a sense of belonging in a community, sometimes labels can pressure people to fulfill a label they have either been labeled or decided to label themselves with.

 

For this project, I wanted to reframe what makes up our "identity". I wanted to focus on our intrinsic identity, our personality, through the lens of the Myers Briggs personality test. Within this test there are 8 different letters or qualities that you can possess: Extroverted(E), Introverted(I), Sensing(S), Intuitive(I), Thinking(T), Feeling(F), Judging(J), Perceiving(P). I have created my own algorithm that generates 20 random questions from the Myers Briggs personality test and based on how you answer, it will generate a unique data visualization that represents of your personality.
