Overview
The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
Have you ever heard someone describe themselves as an INTJ or an ESTP and wondered what those cryptic-sounding letters could mean? What these people are referring to is their personality type based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator is a self-report inventory designed to identify a person's personality type, strengths, and preferences. The MBTI instrument is the best known and most trusted personality assessment on the market, and GOTO Events are proud to be able to offer this word famous development tool. Far more than just personality tests, our workshops offer a flexible framework that can be applied to all areas of individual and team development. The MBTI profile reveals how we see and interact with the world, giving insight into our motivation and the motivation of others. This provides a strong foundation for personal growth and development, underpinning enhanced personal effectiveness in the workplace and our ordinary lives.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Personality Types
What is it?
The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is an internationally recognised introspective self-report questionnaire with the purpose of indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world around them and make decisions.
The MBTI emphasizes the value of naturally occurring differences. The platform is used to make people more effective as individuals and in teams and is used by many organizations, large and small throughout the world.
The underlying assumption of the MBTI is that we all have specific preferences in the way we construe our experiences, and these preferences underlie our interests, needs, values, and motivation.
Who is it for?
The MBTI model is ideal for organsations seeking their individuals to understand the behavoirs, motivations and personality types of themselves and those around them. This evolves into a greater understanding of each other including insights such as how any why people act and react in different ways to different situations. This gives teams a far greater appreciation of the skill and personality styles of their peers. It’s a very powerful tool at all levels including management and leadership. MBTI is the ideal platform for:
- Coaching
- Communication and influencing
- Conflict management
- Decision-making
- Leadership development
- Change management
- Team development
The 16 MBTI Personality Types
The first stage of all our workshops is for individuals to complete a confidential online questionnaire. The MBTI questionnaire sorts people into 16 different personality types.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) Step I is based on Carl Jung’s theory of psychological type. It indicates your personality preferences in four dimensions:
- Where you focus your attention – Extroversion (E) or Introversion (I)
- The way you take in information – Sensing (S) or Intuition (N)
- How you make decisions – Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
- How you deal with the world – Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)
The four letters that make up your personality type can help you to understand yourself and your interactions with others.
