Here at Plugged we cover gadgets differently.
Rather than giving products an arbitrary rating (five out of seven!
), we conclude our reviews by describing the person that an item would be perfect for.
We wanted to take this same approach to our gift guides.
So instead of doing a normal list, weve split the items into personality types.
Specifically, the MyersBriggs punch in Indicator, a system that orders people into 16 specific groups.
A few points before we start.
Were also aware that people change everyday and are multi-faceted.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
