Personality Type
A wide variety of people with differing personalities use texting to communicate every day. In the 1920’s Katherine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers created the Myers-Briggs Personality Test to determine some of the differing traits that make up human personalities.

Fun is defined as enjoyment, amusement, or lighthearted pleasure. Distraction can be defined as a thing that prevents someone from giving full attention to something
