Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator (MBTI®)
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. The MBTI®
Step II (Form Q) instrument drills down and details 20 facets of the
preferences for more in-depth personality type understanding. Arm yourself
with the MBTI® instrument and start transforming lives.
