Myers Briggs Type Indicator
The MBTI® Personality Indicator can enhance relationships and
team performance,
success in work and school, and
your ability to know yourself and understand others.
What does it indicate?
The MBTI instrument measures personality preferences on four different scales:
Extraversion (E) - Introversion (I) [where we prefer to draw and expend our energy],
Sensing (S) - Intuition (N) [how we gather information],
Thinking (T) - Feeling (F) [how we process the information we have gathered], and
Judging (J) - Perceiving (P) [how we prefer to operate in the external world].
Results from the indicator are delivered in a four letter type.
An important and unique aspect of the MBTI instrument is the requirement that feedback be given by an accredited MBTI professional who is qualified to administer and interpret the results.
The reliability and validity of the MBTI instrument, along with its 40 year plus history of use, make it a trusted source for personality assessment for individuals and groups. It provides a practical and powerful perspective for lifelong growth and development.
The MBTI has been translated into 16 languages and is utilised world wide to improve individual and team performance, nurture and retain personnel, develop leadership, reduce conflict and explore the world of work.
