The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® assessment is one of the best known and most trusted personality tools available today. It is designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.
Personality typing is a tool with many uses. It is especially notable for its helpfulness in the areas of growth and self-development.
Learning and applying the theories of personality type can be a powerful and rewarding experience if it is used as a tool for discovery, rather than as a method for putting people into boxes, or as an excuse for behavior.
The MBTI® is based on the theory of Carl Jung about how people have different preferences. These preferences were extrapolated from the typological theories originated by Jung in 1921.
The MBTI® explores:
EXTROVERSION / INTROVERSION: Whether you are energized by the external environment or your inner world.
SENSING / INTUITION: The way you take in information = your perception
THINKING / FEELING: The way you make decisions = your judgement
JUDGEMENT / PERCEPTION: How your perception and judgement interact and how you prefer to structure your life.
Identifying, understanding and appreciating these differences between people and the objective and constructive use of these differences can enhance communication, emotional intelligence, cooperation, self-esteem as well as improve relationships and productivity.
