Over the years, psychological and scientific research have continued to prove that our personality traits are crucial in determining how we act and react to people and situations around us.
Just as personality tests are used by recruiters to determine the fitness of a candidate for a job role, employers need to also consider personality traits when assigning workspace to individuals. To give insights on this, this article considers how the four most dominant Myers-Briggs personality traits can be used in determining the best office furniture for
different employees so as to enhance productivity.
The Introvert Employee Around the world, introverts are known for their quiet and reclusive demeanor. And as much as they value human relationships, they often prefer to work in their personalized space
where they can think, work solely and refresh after a long meeting. Putting these characteristics in place, when considering the right furniture set up for employees of this personality trait, a well-designed desk structured for just one individual, placed in a dedicated part of the office where there’s minimal movement of other employees gives the introvert employees the opportunity to be themselves and work productively.

The Extrovert Employee
An extrovert is an individual who gets fueled by relating, collaborating and communicating with people around them. In a workplace, they’re the employees who always have questions to ask and probably delay board meetings. Also significant of their trait is how they hit their daily target despite having seeming distracted everyone in the workplace. The extrovert
prefers furniture setup in the form of a work space for several workers. However, they do not mind having their personal space as long as there’s a lounge where they can get to engage other workers and move them to action.
The Employee with Intuition
When an employee’s predominant trait in intuition, such individual is found to be an explorer or visionary. This category of employee performs greatly in an office with furniture setup creatively and beautifully. Oftentimes, they have a luxury ergonomic chair, a television set up, colorful balls and/or Rubik’s cube in their workspace. These items enable to travel in
the minds, visualize and think inwardly. Moreso, an employee who is predominantly intuitive would prefer a large frame of glass to enable them to see the outside world rather than a wall of bricks.
The Employee with Feeling
The fourth predominant personality trait is the Feeling. Workers with this trait are known to be highly compassionate with people around them. And so, when structuring their workspace, a furniture in form of a couch or simple chair for yet another individual who would work into their office at some point or the other to seek counsel is necessary. They would structure their space in a private yet welcoming manner.
Understanding the personality traits of employees and using furniture set ups that support them will enhance their individual performance, collective performance and the overall net growth of a company.
