Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®)
Isabel Briggs Myers, Katharine C. Briggs
The most widely
used personality inventory in the world, the MBTI® instrument
provides an accurate picture of a person’s personality type.
The MBTI® instrument determines preferences on four dichotomies:
- Extraversion–Introversion
(describes where people prefer to focus their attention and
get their energy—from the outer world of people and
activity or their inner world of ideas and experiences)
- Sensing–Intuition
(describes how people prefer to take in information—focused
on what is real and actual or on patterns and meanings in
data)
- Thinking–Feeling
(describes how people prefer to make decisions—based
on logical analysis or guided by concern for their impact
on others)
- Judging–Perceiving
(describes how people prefer to deal with the outer world—in
a planned orderly way, or in a flexible spontaneous way)
Combinations
of these preferences result in 16 distinct personality types.
Understanding characteristics unique to each personality type,
provides insight on how they influence
an individual’s way of communicating and interacting with
others.
With
this instrument administration and consultation session,
you can gain a better understanding of both yourself and other
people. It also enables you to identify your employee's strengths,
clarify their leadership style, explore a preferred work environment,
and highlight areas for further development. If you should desire
insights into organizational development, management development,
and/or team building, ask
