To each is their own. Views, opinions, ideals, styles – personality. But can you even identify which house would your personality type belong to? More importantly, how can you make a house into their forever “home”?
A building is built more than pride, the same is true with a house. A house can simply be a pile of wood on a plot of land, but a home cannot exist without inhabitants — the presence of people is what turns a house into a home. Now with that in mind, what types of “homes” fit the different “personalities”?
Below are 4 groups based on the 16 personality types, listed through the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). If you haven’t taken the test yet, you can find out here. Find out which Balai fits your personality type!
There are four (4) different type groups. These are Analysts, Diplomats, Sentinels, and Explorers. Not sure which you are? Take a quick quiz here!
Analysts: The Modern Minimalist
Architect (INTJ-A and INTJ-T), Logician (INTP-A and INTP-T),
Commander (ENTJ-A and ENTJ-T), Debater (ENTP-A and ENTP-T)
Being the “Intuitive and Thinking” personality type with a strong ability to innovate and rationalize, they plan for everything – and have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. In order for them to completely relax from that strong-willed leader persona, a more minimalist style with a modern twist fits their aesthetic.

Diplomats: The Timeless Traditional
Advocate (INFJ-A and INFJ-T), Mediator (INFP-A and INFP-T),
Protagonist (ENFJ-A and ENFJ-T), Campaigner (ENFP-A and ENFP-T)
Thriving on human connection and creativity, these kind and altruistic poets suit an
environment with more of a traditional vibe, with timeless statement pieces that give off a mystical aura that mesmerizes its visitors – just as they do. Traditional style interiors with winged back chairs, elaborate furniture pieces, and claw-footed tables are highly suggested.
Sentinels: The Industrial Chic
Logistician – (ISTJ-A and ISTJ-T), Defender – (ISFJ-A and ISFJ-T)
Executive – (ESTJ-A and ESTJ-T), Consul – (ESFJ-A and ESFJ-T)
For our dedicated and war protectors, industrial chic is the way to go! With their personalities deeply rooted in order and stability, an urban vibe with warehouse and factory elements really speaks for their unsurpassed management style with people. The components we suggest for these reliable and practical personalities would be weathered wood, building systems, industrial lighting fixtures, and concrete elements.
Explorers: The Contemporary Comfort
Virtuoso – (ISTP-A and ISTP-T), Adventurer – (ISFP-A and ISFP-T),
Entrepreneur – (ESTP -A and ESTP-T), Entertainer – (ESFP-A and ESFP-T)
With these charming personalities’ knack for spontaneity and flexibility, they are well suited for a suite with more color, clean lines, smooth finishes, and lighter wood. Rounded, sculptural homeware and furniture complement their energy and enthusiasm when it comes to taking center stage.
Not only will the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Test be extremely useful for learning styles, self-awareness, collaboration, socialization, and career counseling – it will also help you determine your strengths and weaknesses, and jumpstart that plan for your dream house with Balay Bayi!
