Hey there!

This week, we’re taking a close look at MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) and exploring how you can use these personality types to make unique and fun print-on-demand designs.

Let’s discover how MBTI can help you connect better with customers!

What is MBTI personality?

MBTI, or the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, is a tool used to identify different personality types based on how people perceive the world and make decisions.

There are 16 unique personality types, each characterized by a specific set of traits. For example, INTJs are known for being innovative and strategic, while ESFPs are recognized for being outgoing and spontaneous.

You can discover your own MBTI type by taking the most popular free online test available here: 16personalities.com.

It's interesting to note that we are ENFP (Campaigner) and INTJ (Architect) personalities, which are surprisingly accurate in capturing most of our characteristics. It’s quite enlightening to read about them.

Design ideas

MBTI provides a robust framework for creating personalized products that resonate deeply with individuals.

It also offers great ideas for personalized gifts. Here's how you can transform MBTI traits into captivating designs:

1. Text highlight of the character

We think the simplest idea can be creating text designs that highlight the character type with its most prominent features.

For example, use bold and abstract patterns for INTJs or bright and lively images for ESFPs.

You can use the prompt below to get some ideas from ChatGPT:

"create text design ideas for each MBTI personality type"

2. Visualize it with one emoji

You can extend this with an additional prompt:

"include an emoji" to visualize it with one emoji, adding a fun and engaging element to each design.

3. Bring the humorous side

Humor is always a nice touch! You can further extend the prompt with:

"add one short humorous sentence for each", injecting a bit of lightheartedness into the designs.

Speaking as ENFPs and INTJs here, these sentences could not be more accurate!

4. Create more visuals

If you're looking to expand the creative scope, you can use the additional prompt:

"give me image prompts in a format of 'simple, funny, minimal mascot illustration for x's humorous side'. stick to the format."

This prompt will help generate ideas for creating illustrations that not only represent each MBTI personality type but also capture their humorous side in a simple, engaging, and minimalistic style.

These ideas are just the quick sketches and the beginning of what could be a never-ending stream of creative possibilities in this niche.

Mockups

We can now create some mockups to visualize our designs in real-life environments, making them more appealing to the eye.

For that, you can use our Poster mockups or T-shirt and Hoodie mockups as examples. After that, the rest is up to our marketing skills.

Let us know if you decide to create something based on this inspiration; we'd be more than happy to feature your work in our newsletter or on our website.

Maybe we could also use this idea as a starting point to create a series about building a store from the ground up to a profitable side business. We could share our insights and learnings over the coming weeks.

And as always, we'd love to hear your thoughts!
