MYERS BRIGGS Type Indicator
“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
Overview of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
The Myers Briggs Type Indicator comes from Jungian psychology and was developed by a mother and daughter team during World War II in England.
Overview of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
According to Jung’s typology, all people can be classified using three criteria, these criteria are: Extroversion - Introversion Sensing - Intuition Thinking – Feeling
Isabel Briggs Myers added the fourth criterion: Judging – Perceiving
Individual Preferences
Part of our “filters” – the way people see the world is different.
No right or wrong type - another form of diversity.
Type has nothing to do with ability or competence.
Everyone uses every preference. However, we favor one preference over the other on each of the four scales
Individual Preference Criterion
Where people prefer to focus their attention and get their energy
E The outer world of people and activity
Their inner world of ideas and experiences I
How people prefer to take in information
S Focused on what is real and actual
Focused on patterns and meanings in data N
How people prefer to make decisions
T Logical analysis Concern for their impact on others F
How people prefer to deal with the outer world
