“Much seemingly chance variation in human behavior is not due to chance; it is in fact the logical result of a

few basic, observable preferences.”

C. G. Jung


• A tool designed to implement the theories of C. G. Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist, who developed one of the most comprehensive theories explaining human personality.

• An instrument popularized by Katherine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers to make C. G. Jung’s theory of personality types practical and useful in people’s lives.

• Currently it is the most widely utilized personality preference instrument in the world.

• A tool that reflects an individual’s preferences, does not measure abilities, likelihood of success, intelligence, skills, maturity or mental health.

• An extremely useful and practical tool for achieving an understanding of oneself and the differences of others.

What is the Myers BriggsType Indicator (MBTI®)?

• The MBTI offers individuals an affirmative way to look at themselves and to evaluate strengths and needed areas for development.

• The MBTI helps individuals to understand personality differences in others and to use them constructively.

• The MBTI can offer individuals a way to build communication patterns that will meet their needs as well as the needs of others, helping them to achieve a higher level of influence.

• The MBTI helps people value their strengths and become aware of the strengths of other types.

• Isabel Briggs Myers said there are 16 paths to excellence. Finding a rewarding pathway leads to motivated behavior.

• The MBTI supports our learning about how to be more effective leaders, managers, teachers, learners, team members and partners.


Individual Benefits of the MBTI®

• The MBTI helps people become aware of their differences and can

reduce conflict through appreciation of differences.

• The MBTI supports decision making and problem solving

processes.

• The MBTI facilitates team building by identifying strengths,

weaknesses and blind spots for organizational units and helps in

establishing effective ad hoc teams.

• The MBTI builds understanding regarding an organization’s norms

and cultures.

• The MBTI acts as a lens through which to diagnose

organizational issues and to organize people and processes to

develop strategies and solutions.
