Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®) Overview
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®) is one of the most widely used personality assessment tools in the world, trusted by individuals, teams, and organizations to improve self-awareness, communication, and collaboration. Rooted in the work of psychologist Carl Jung and developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and Katharine Cook Briggs, the MBTI® helps individuals understand how they perceive the world and make decisions.
The MBTI® identifies personality preferences across four key dimensions:
- Where you focus your attention – Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I)
- How you take in information – Sensing (S) or Intuition (N)
- How you make decisions – Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
- How you deal with the world around you – Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)
These preferences combine to form 16 unique personality types, each offering insights into your natural strengths, work style, leadership approach, and areas for growth.
