Abstract :
    n today s housing design, differentiation factors are ignored and houses are planned for all people with the same structure. Therefore, the fact that a house may be used by different people with different personalities and environmental preferences should be considered in housing design. The purpose of writing this research is to explain patterns in housing from the perspective of form geometry, so that it is possible to create a match between the housing body and each of the dimensions of MBTI personality types. This research is practical and in terms of correlational research strategy, it examines the relationship between two variables MBTI personality components (independent variable) and form geometry (dependent variable) . The data collection in this research was obtained in two ways: library and interview, and the interviewees were experts in personality psychology, and the data obtained from the structured questionnaire of this interview were gathered into four decisive data groups. Probable, borderline and rejected were divided, among which two groups of decisive and probable data were separated and aggregated to present the model. The results of this research indicate that extroverted and intuitive personality dimensions prefer irregular forms. While the introverted, sensory, thinking and judging personality dimensions prefer geometric and regular forms, finally, based on these spatial preferences of people, flexible patterns have been presented.
