Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
Summary
•
The MBTI is a reliable and valid instrument that measures and categorizes your personality and behavior. It is not a test. There are no “right” or “wrong” answers.
•
Around 1940 a mother-daughter team (Katharine C. Briggs and her daughter
Isabel Briggs Myers) developed this instrument to help people understand and use
Carl Jung’s theory of psychological type preferences.
•
Swiss Psychologist, Carl Jung, (1875 – 1961) theorized that you can predict differences in people’s behavior if you know how they prefer to use their mind.
According to Jung, we each have an inborn preference for using our mind in one of two different ways, in four different categories:
Orientation to World
Take in Information
Make Decisions
Extraverted
Energized by others or Introverted
Energized by ideas, emotions, memories
Sensing
Using five senses or Intuition
Using gut or instincts
Thinking
Logical, problem solvers or Feeling
Consider others, compassionate Take in Info. or Decide
Perceiving
Taking in information or Judging
Organizing information and making decisions
•
There are a total of 16 possible “types” based on unique combinations of the preferences. •
Four letters are used to represent a type, for example a person with preferences for
Extraverted, Sensing, Thinking, Judging is called an ESTJ.
•
Each type has strengths and weaknesses. No type is better than another.
•
People can use this assessment tool to validate their preferences on each of the four dichotomies and understand the sixteen different personality types that result from the interactions among preferences.
•
Knowing your type can help you: choose a career that might be a good match for your personality understand others understand your own behavior communicate better with others work more cooperatively in groups with others manage people better in a work situation
