Myers Briggs
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) questionnaire is the most widely used personality questionnaire in the world, with over 3.5 million questionnaires completed every year and more than 13,000 accredited users in Europe. It is based on the work of the Psychologist, Carl Jung, is backed up with more than 50 years of research and development, and is available in 19 different languages. The report enhances understanding of oneself and others and is best used combined with expert feedback to enable the person to fully understand their Psychological type.
The MBTI questionnaire describes an individual's personality preferences in four dimensions:
- Extraversion or Introversion – This dimension explores the extent to which people prefer to draw energy from the outer world of activity, people and things or from the inner world of reflections, feelings and ideas. It also examines how people prefer to focus their attention; externally, by talking and discussing or more internally, by thinking or writing.
- Sensing or Intuition – This dimension looks at how people prefer to take in information. So it considers the extent to which people focus on information gained from the five senses and on practical applications or on patterns, connections and possible meanings.
- Thinking or Feeling – This examines people’s preferences in terms of decision making. Some people tend to base decisions on logic and the objective analysis of cause and effect ; whilst others base decisions on a valuing process and on considering what is important to people
- Judging or Perceiving – This dichotomy examines the manner in which people deal with the outer world. Some prefer a more planned, organised approach to life, and to have things decided ahead of time, whilst others prefer a more flexible, spontaneous approach and to keep options open for as long as possible.
