What is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®? 

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) assessment is a short, self- report questionnaire used to measure and describe people’s preferences for how they like to focus attention, get information, make decisions and orient their lives. Created by a mother-daughter team, Katherine Briggs and Isabel Myers, The MBTI instrument was designed to make Carl Jung's theory of psychogical types understandable and useful in everyday life.

The MBTI® instrument provides a versatile measure of personality that looks at eight personality preferences people use at different times. These eight preferences are organized into four dichotomous scales, which are illustrated below. After more than 50 years of research and development, the current MBTI® tool is the most widely used instrument for understanding individual personality differences. Last year alone, over two million people gained valuable insight about themselves and the people they interact with by taking the MBTI® instrument. 

MBTI Results
​ 
For you to make the most of your results, it is important to understand that the MBTI® instrument:

• Describes rather than prescribes; it delivers back to you in an organized form the preferences you indicated when answering the questions.
• Describes preferences, not skills or abilities.
• Considers all preferences equally important and valuable.
• Is well documented and researched with hundreds of scientific studies conducted over a 50 year period. 

​Remember, there are no right or wrong answers to the questions in the MBTI® instrument. For each question, you should choose the answer that best describes the way in which you more often feel or act. Answer as you really are, not as you think you would like to be.
