The Myers-Briggs Personality Test identifies how people interact and make decisions.

And according to dating expert Debbie Rivers, it can be helpful in navigating relationships and understanding what type of partner you are.

The Myers-Briggs Personality Indicator is based on four dichotomies: Extroverts and Introverts, Sensing and Intuition, Thinking and Feeling, and Judging and Perceiving.

Ms Rivers told FEMAIL on Thursday that no matter if you're an extrovert or an introvert, a great relationship needs compromise and communication. 

What kind of partner are you? The Myers-Briggs Personality Test identifies your preferences and what compromises need to be made to make your relationship work

What is the Myers-Briggs Personality Test?

* A test that identifies how people interact with the world and make decisions

* Combinations of four preferences make up the 16 personality types

* The four preferences are: Extroverts and Introverts, Sensing and Intuition, Thinking and Feeling, and Judging and Perceiving  

Extroverts and Introverts 

This dichotomy involves understanding whether one person becomes energised by interacting with the outside world, or prefers to lead a rather private life.

Ms Rivers said that if you're dating your opposite, there needs to be communication.

'Work out your partner's personality type in the early stages of dating, and be prepared to work through any differences. If you communicate and understand your likes and dislikes, you'll easily be able to make compromises,' she explained.  

'However if one person in the relationship, say always wants to stay out and you don't, then this may become a hurdle later down the track,' Ms Rivers added.   

Sensing and Intuition

One senses, takes in information in a literal or logical manner and one uses their intuition uses abstract concepts.   

'This can provide a few challenges in the relationship, as the couple will communicate so differently,' Ms Rivers said.

However it's not bad news, with Ms Rivers suggesting that the couple 'use each other's strengths.'

'If one person is the more logical type, they can perhaps be the one that pays the household bills, while the other dreams up holiday vacation ideas,' she said.

Thinking and Feeling

This dichotomy focuses on decision making - those with a thinking preference will take a step back and look at things objectively, while those with a feeling preference, will base their decisions on values and ethics.

Ms Rivers said that once again, there needs to be communication in the relationship.

'If you're constantly arguing, this can be a deal-breaker,' she explained. 'However it's also common for chemistry to shut down one's judgement.'

'Research has shown that chemistry can last from three months to three years, so often in the early stages of a relationship, one may overlook certain behaviours. And once they're out of that chemistry stage, it can prevent a few hurdles.'  

Judging and Perceiving

How do you conduct your life in the outside world? Do you have a judging preference, or are you more of the perceiving type? 

Those with a judging preference like to plan and structure their lives, while those with a perceiving preference are more fluid in time and space.   

'I tell couples that counselling is better sooner rather than later,' Ms Rivers said. 'If you're having differences in how you go about daily tasks, it can be a great way to acknowledge this head-on.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
