You can also Google your personality type's strengths and weaknesses.

From there, you may understand yourself better and know how you can avoid vices than can be dominant in your personality type, and to utilize your strengths.

Here is a small example of what I learned from my personality type, ENFP:

I seek emotional intensity from a centered viewpoint and therefore am spontaneous. With spontaneity and other traits in the personality type, I seek high-vision ideals and am driven to BEGIN those large projects. However, as I am keen to use my emotional state as a guide to how achieve my goals, I can easily get bored from a mundane task in the aforementioned project and may possibly leave it all together. Because of this tendency, I learned that I must rely on mindfulness through meditation to keep myself in check and always be centered.

It is important to note that these are simply guidelines that can help your personal improvement and should not be taken too close to heart. No personality type is better than another- they can all be optimized to their fullest potential.
