## About

16Purrsonalities maps cat behavior and temperament onto 16 personality types inspired by the Myers-Briggs framework. The quiz takes about 3 minutes and produces a full type profile with care recommendations. All types are grouped into four personality groups: Toms, Housecats, Mousers, and Alleycats.

The framework is grounded in feline personality research, including the Feline Five study (Litchfield et al., 2017) which identified five stable personality dimensions in cats across a sample of 2,802 animals.
