Everyone has a flower that matches their personality. Like humans, every flower is unique and has its own strengths, weaknesses and beauties. Each flower has its own set of characteristics, distinct from any other flower and it’s as easy to apply personality traits to plants as we do to humans. If you’re looking to give flowers as a gift, wouldn’t it be special to find the perfect flower that reflects the uniqueness of the recipient’s personality?

16 Flower Personality Types

One type of personality classification that is often used is the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator. It aims to identify a person’s personality type, strengths and performances. Today, it is one of the most widely used psychological inventories in the world.

Based on the answers to the inventory’s questions, people are identified as having one of 16 personalities. The ultimate aim of this inventory is so that people are able to determine their own personalities and better understand their unique characteristics. If you know your personality type or that of your loved ones, keep reading to find out which flower you are, based on your Myers-Briggs personality type.
