first person
second person
third person limited
third person omniscient

Explanation:

The passage uses "you" throughout, which is characteristic of the second - person point of view. In first - person, "I/we" would be used. Third - person limited and omniscient use "he/she/they" etc. Here, the narrator is addressing the reader as "you", so it's second - person.

Answer:

second person
