We are all motivated by our instincts and intentions. Throughout relying on them the entirety of our lives habits form and people start to rely on strategies.
Carl Yung identified several of these cognitive strategies in his work. He described eight brain functions, four perceiving, and four judging.

How people rely on these functions determine which archetype of cognition they fall in.
These archetypes were popularized through the work of Myer and Briggs, who gave the archetype shorthand names, such as ESTJ. Several people misunderstand the system of typology as a horoscope for how people will live their lives, or what they're good at, but it's not. It's a measure of your inner balance and the way that you interact with the resources around you.

This is useful because it allows you to communicate conscientiously and play to their strengths so that you can have a great relationship. It isn't about prying into people, but realizing that not everyone communicates the way that you do. Once you understand that you can become literate in several forms of expression.

This is why having an understanding of the different kinds of people, what they need to be happy, and how they communicate, is a great tool. It allows you the comfort of being able to address this situation from a place of experience.
