Isabel Briggs Myers, Katharine C. Briggs
The most widely used personality inventory in the world, the MBTI® instrument
provides an accurate picture of a person’s personality type. Personality
in turn influences behavior. The MBTI® instrument determines preferences
on four dimensions:
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 value of MBTI® is in acquainting participants with their own MBTI®
type, and then enabling them to make educated guesses about the types of
other people with whom they do business, so as to make them more effective
in dealing with others.
