MBTI Personality Profiling - Understanding Self and Other

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator ® To achieve high performance through teamwork, we need to FIRST understand ourselves and how we differ from other people. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator ® (MBTI ® ) personality tool and the ideas on which it is based. It’s all about Preferences

The MBTI Was developed by Katharine C Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers is based on the work of a Swiss psychologist named C G Jung who outlined psychological type theory in his book entitled “Psychological Types” published in 1922

Ideas underlying the MBTI Understanding your MBTI Profile Some exercises to show you how the types differ from one and another We will discover that people look at the world and make decisions about things in different ways We’ll cover

Assumptions Underlying Type Theory Preferences are inborn. Environment enhances or impedes expression of type. All of the types are equally valuable. Behaviorally you are all types, but have a preference toward one type.

To get the most value out of this instrument you must ask the right question. The question is NOT: “What TYPE personality am I?”

Rather, Ask Yourself ... How can knowing my preference increase my flexibility? How can I be more aware of others’ differences and present information in a way that is useful to them? How can I use others as resources, appreciate their contributions, and build complementary teams?

About the MBTI An indicator Forced-choice questions No right or wrong answers The MBTI looks only at normal behaviour There are no good or bad types – strengths and some pitfalls Gives practical results you can use
