The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®
(MBTI®)
The best known approach to describing personality differences
is the very popular Myers-Briggs Type Indicator“ (MBTI“)
assessment. With validation by over 50 years of research and development,
its uncanny accuracy accounts for its widespread acceptance in
educational, medical, governmental, and ministry organizations.
The MBTI assessment is a straightforward, non-threatening way
of looking at your unique path to excellence. Through the various
short questions and word-pair combinations, it identifies your
common, every day preferences for:
• how you focus your attention and energy – to the outer world
of people and activity or an inner world of ideas and reflections;
• how you gather information - focusing on data that is real and
actual or on the data’s patterns and meanings;
• how you make decisions - based on objective, logical analysis
or guided by subjective concerns for impact on others;
• how you pattern your lifestyle - in a planned orderly way, or
in a flexible spontaneous way.
Benefits of the MBTI assessment are:
• improved communication
• identifies strengths and weaknesses of project and work
teams
• more productive teamwork
• builds understanding regarding the organization's norms
and culture
• helps individuals learn more about themselves
• shows how to positively persuade and influence others
(“sell your ideas”)
• indicates why some things come easily to people and why
other things are more difficult to do
