Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) is a personality assessment that enables people to establish a greater understanding of themselves, identify their natural preferences, motivations, strengths and unique gifts. It provides a platform for generating increased awareness of what enhances and stimulates their energy, productivity and relationship with others as well as response to stress, misunderstandings and communication difficulties.
The MBTI is based on Carl G. Jung's theory of psychological types and indicates differences in people that result from four pairs of opposites in personalities: opposite ways of using energy, perception, judgment and orienting to the outside world. It is based on the concept that everyone has a natural preference for one of each pair of opposites and together these four preferences create sixteen different personality types.
Each MBTI personality type is unique in two ways: it is made up of a particular combination of preferences and uses psychological energy in a specific way. The perspective of the theory is that by using this awareness and functioning from preferred characteristics, people generally perform to their best and feel most competent, natural and energetic.
Developed by Katharine Cook Briggs (1875-1968) and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers (1897-1980), the MBTI tool is widely used with leadership development, career development and exploration, team-building, organisational development, training in diversity and multi-cultural awareness, self-development and relationship-counselling.
The MBTI Profile report provides a basic profile of the individual’s MBTI personality type and the MBTI Interpretive Report for Organisations extends the personality type profile to an organisational context including work style, communication style and problem-solving approach.
