Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
Knowing your own personality traits is useful, but so is knowing those of others. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® or MBTI for short is the most widely used personality tool in the world and offers an approach to identify the individual differences and strengths within your team.
What is MBTI?
- A model, developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers, which maps individual differences in personality types in a positive way.
- MBTI gives an insight into your own personality preferences and those of others.
- MBTI offers a framework to solve issues related to human interaction.
- MBTI creates a strong foundation for lifelong personal development.
The two steps of MBTI
- MBTI Step I: you determine your and your team members’ personality type, including personal motivations and interaction within this group. There are 16 personality types in total, based on four dimensions:
- Extraversion (E) – Introversion (I)
What energises you? - Sensing (S) – Intuition (N)
What kind of information do you pay attention to? - Thinking (T) – Feeling (F)
What process do you use to make decisions? - Judging (J) – Perceiving (P)
How do you prefer to deal with the world around you?
- Extraversion (E) – Introversion (I)
This first step is useful to help resolve both personal and business issues, for individuals as well as teams.
- MBTI Step II: uses the fours dimensions of Step I as a starting point, but examines five extra personality traits in-depth. The result? An extremely detailed personality profile and development plan, perfect for action planning and team-building. And this applies to all echelons within an organisation.
