Do you know the type of condo that suits your personality? Are you a studio or a two-bedroom unit person? The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) can guide you on the type of condo home to rent or the right unit to offer prospective lessees. Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers developed the MBTI for easier identification of the psychological types described by Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung. According to Jung, “What appears to be random behavior is actually the result of differences in the way people prefer to use their mental capacities.”

The MBTI can be divided into four major personality types based on roles: the analysts, the diplomats, the sentinels, and the explorers. The analysts are intuitive and thinking types; the diplomats are intuitive and feeling types; the sentinels are observant and judging; and the explorers are observant and prospecting.

The MBTI identified 16 distinctive personality subtypes that are understandable and useful in daily life. Here is a personality-based renting guide for condo tenants and landlords.

The Analysts:

The Architect (INTJ)

The architect is imaginative, ambitious, and curious. He’s also decisive, private, and draws energy in solitude. The architect has a high standard and prefers to be surrounded with like-minded people. Tivoli Garden Residences in Mandaluyong City is perfect for this personality type. The condo is located at the boundary of Mandaluyong and Makati Business District, allowing tenants less travel time and more time to be productive.

The Logician (INTP)

The logicians are abstract thinkers, open-minded, and enthusiastic when another person shares an interest. They are also very private people and usually struggle in social situations. What’s the best condo home for a logician? A studio unit at Tivoli Garden Residences suits an introvert’s lifestyle. This condo community offers outdoor amenities such as a gazebo, cabana, and sky garden that allows meditative activities.

The Commander (ENTJ)

The commander is the leader of the pack. This analyst-personality type is described as efficient, confident, and dominant. As parents, commanders have high standards for their children. They encourage intellect and independent thinking among their kids. If you’re a commander, a two- or three-bedroom condo for rent at Dansalan Gardens is the right home for you. A larger space would allow a dedicated study area for your children. There is also a business center that can sustain your workaholic lifestyle.

The Debater (ENTP)

If you love engaging in mental sparring and constantly seeks knowledge, you may be a debater. You can spend hours debating an idea. As other personalities in your group, you enjoy intellectual discussions. A bottle of wine and a couple of your closest friends define your ideal weekend. Dansalan Gardens features a sky lounge where you can engage in meaningful discussions.

The Diplomats:

The Advocate (INFJ)

Advocates are rare species as they make up less than one percent of the population. They have strong moral values and many of them are engaged in rescue efforts and doing charity work. Advocates put importance on building genuine, deep connections with people close to their hearts. Tivoli Garden offers tenants access to a function hall and rooms that can accommodate charity events and other social service initiatives.

The Mediator (INFP)

Mediators, who are true idealists, are guided by their principles rather than by logic, excitement or practicality. Mediator parents are said to give their kids freedom to explore and learn their way while instilling a sense of personal responsibility. The best condo to rent based on this personality is one that has open spaces and safe playgrounds for little children. A two-bedroom unit in Tivoli Gardens comes with access to a children’s recreation space, kiddie pool, and an interactive water playground.

The Protagonist (ENFJ)

If you’re unafraid to stand up and speak for others, and can easily communicate with people, you’re likely a protagonist. Individuals with this personality trait are reliable and charismatic, but may struggle to make tough decisions. As protagonists love being with people and building relations, a condo with lifestyle amenities such as an entertainment room and a playcourt is their ideal home. Check out for rent units at Flair Towers.

The Campaigner (ENFP)

The campaigner is the life of the party. They are independent and creative and they value their freedom more than anything else. A bare unit is ideal for campaigners as this will allow them to put their creativity into use. Flair Towers offers an unfurnished studio for campaigner personality types.

The Sentinels:

The Logistician (ISTJ)

Most eldest children are logisticians. This personality type is characterized by practical logic, dedication to duty, and patience. Logisticians’ reliability cannot be doubted. Because they are hardworking people, they need a home where they can relax after a long day in school or work. A condo that provides tenants access to relaxation amenities such as swimming pool and fitness gym is recommended for logisticians.

The Defender (ISFJ)

Defenders are regarded as warm protectors. They have well-developed people skills and robust social relations. They are reliable individuals who take their responsibilities seriously and are always ready to defend their loved ones. A condo community with 24/7 security will give a defender peace of mind. He/she can choose a bare unit that will allow customization.

The Executive (ESTJ)

There are two words to describe executives: tradition and order. They are leaders within their personal circles and communities. Executives usually volunteer in bringing together people to celebrate or defend traditional values. Flair Towers, a condo community in Mandaluyong City, provides executives the venue to hold grand events such as the function hall.

The Consul (ESFJ)

The consul is a very common personality type. These people are popular; they set the tone, lead their teams, and usually take the spotlight. Consuls are masters at connecting with others. A two-bedroom condo unit is ideal for them as they are fond of hosting dinners and gatherings within their network. Dansalan Gardens, which features a multipurpose hall, is perfect for consuls who occasionally organize large events.

The Explorers:

The Virtuoso (ISTP)

Virtuosos are natural builders. They find joy in working on projects, whether on an office-related project or a DIY home assignment. A bare unit would match a virtuoso’s mechanical tendencies. They embrace their “freedom to move about and color outside the lines if they need to.” Dansalan Gardens has 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom bare units for solo tenants and families.

The Adventurer (ISFP)

If you’re into art forms and unafraid to challenge social conventions, you’re likely an adventurer. Adventurers are inspired by connections with people and ideas, and they continuously seek new perspectives. Nevertheless, they are introverts who take their time alone for introspection. An adventurer would prefer a bare unit over a furnished condo home as they are highly artistic individuals who love to personalize their space.

The Entrepreneur (ESTP)

Like other explorer subtypes, entrepreneurs are highly sociable people. You can easily spot them in a room as they glide from one group to another—a real social butterfly. They enjoy living on the edge. Entrepreneurs require large homes as they love throwing parties. A 3-bedroom condo unit at Dansalan Gardens fits their vibrant lifestyle.

The Entertainer (ESFP)

Bold, original, and energetic are the exact descriptions of the entertainer personality type. They inject creativity in everything they do, whether in designing their homes or preparing a sales presentation. Entertainers are poor long-term planners, thus a fully-furnished condo unit suits them more than a bare unit. Furnishing a home with items that suggest a sense of permanency, such as dressers and a full dining set, is their Achilles’ heel.

Knowing your personality type can aid in choosing a suitable home. For landlords, this can serve as a guide in furnishing their units. If they prefer artistic explorers, they may want to leave the space bare. Otherwise, a fully furnished condo would be best. Know your Myers-Briggs personality type and match it with a DMCI condo for rent.
