WHAT IS THE MYERS-BRIGGS ASSESSMENT?

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” - Carl Jung

The Myers-Briggs® Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is a personality inventory designed to give people information about their psychological preferences. This personality assessment was developed in the early 1940s by Isabel Briggs Myers and Katherine Cook Briggs. Their goal was to make Carl Jung’s theory of human personality understandable and useful in everyday life.

By bringing an understanding of human personality to everyday life, this tool helps leaders to create an atmosphere of understanding and helps develop an environment for better communication.

The MBTI assessment has been used with great success at many organizations to improve team-building, conflict resolution, and leadership programs. Most problem areas for teams to overcome frequently center on communication. Organizations can also utilize the assessment as a tool to identify potential conflicts that may arise between team members due to each individual's unique perspective.

• Can be utilized for team building, conflict resolution and leadership development. Organizations can utilize the MBTI for developing new supervisors, managers and leaders. Many people have found the self-discovery of their personality preferences invaluable in their personal and professional development.
• Has become the most widely-used personality assessment in the world, and is recognized as a gold-standard assessment.
