NOT a measure of mental health NOT a measure of intelligence, maturity, traits or
behaviors NOT a predictor of excellence, skills or abilities
What is MBTI
a self-report instrument nonjudgmental an indicator of preferences a way to sort, not to measure well researched rich in theory professionally interpreted used internationally
