Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
Myers-Briggs Type Inventory® (MBTI) is probably the most widely used and well-researched personality
tool in the business world. It was designed to implement the theories of C.G. Jung. Personality theory recognizes
that humans have different preferences and approaches for interacting and working with people. Differences that should
be seen as interesting and valuable rather than problematic. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) highlights
these differences and patterns.
When used appropriately, the MBTI can provide a wealth of positive organizational applications such
as:
- Increasing appreciation for colleagues
- Developing self-understanding
- Improving communication
- Dealing
effectively with conflict
- Improving problem solving and decision making
- Planning, implementing, and managing organizational change
- Recognizing and effectively
managing stress
"Whatever the circumstances of your life, the understanding of type can make
your perceptions clearer, your judgments sounder, and your life closer to your heart's desire"
-Isabel Briggs Myers
