Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

What it is.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a self report questionnaire which provides a useful method for understanding people by looking at eight personality preferences that everyone uses at different times.

These eight preferences are organised into four opposite pairs. When you complete the questionnaire, the four preferences (one from each pair you identify as being most like you) are combined into what is called a ‘type’.

  The four pairs of preferences are:-
Energising – how a person is energised, either through Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I)
Perceiving – what a person pays attention to, either through Sensing (S) or Intuition (N)
Deciding – how a person decides, either through Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
Living – the lifestyle a person adopts, either through judging (J) or Perceiving (P)

How it Works
The report which is fed back to the individual, details their characteristics including their strengths in certain situations, their value to an organisation, how they might be perceived by other people and areas which need to be developed.		  

Why we use it
Once people understand their ‘type’ and where they fit in a framework that describes personality differences in a positive and constructive way, they are able to appreciate important differences between people and understand how different ‘types’ can work together in a complementary way.

MBTI will provide benefits to your organisation by:
Improving working relationships
Developing leadership styles
Improving communication within teams
Removing barriers to change management programmes
Managing stress
Coaching
Increasing sales
Improving team dynamics
Providing career counselling

 

Who Should Use It?
The beauty of MBTI is that it can be used for any level of employee from junior to executive level in any of the areas mention above and others.
