The Myers- Briggs Type Indicator Assessment
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
The MBTI assessment is one of the world’s most popular personality tools – because it works. Used by more than 88% of Fortune 500 companies and available in 29 languages, it is a robust tool for self-awareness and improvement. It provides positive language for understanding and valuing individual differences. It helps organizations and people improve how they communicate, learn, and work.
MBTI Personality Preferences
Through a series of questions, the MBTI assessment helps you identify your natural preferences in four areas of personality:
How do you direct and receive energy – by focusing on the outside world, interacting with people and taking action, or by focusing on your inner world and reflecting on ideas, memories, and experiences?
How do you take in information – by focusing on what you perceive using your five senses or by seeing the big picture and looking for relationships and patterns?
How do you decide and come to conclusions – by logically analyzing the situation or by considering what’s important to the people involved?
How do you approach the outside world – in a planned, orderly way or a more flexible, spontaneous way?
Enhance your relationships
Your natural preferences in these four areas sort you into one of 16 distinct MBTI personality types. Understanding these types gives you objective insight that you can use to enhance your professional and personal relationships, as well as your direction, focus, and choices.
Team workshops about the MBTI promote understanding that an organization needs all of these preferences to be successful. It increases understanding of people’s preferences around communication, change, and problem solving.
The MBTI Profile Report is recommended for workshops. It delivers value by presenting each participants’ reported type and preferences in a cost effective three-page report. It provides a succinct summary of the participants’ MBTI results including the persons reported type, brief descriptions of the preferences, and characteristics frequently associated with the type.
