What is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator?The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a personality type model which measures psychological preferences of people concerning how they perceive the world and make decisions. The MBTI assessment was derived from psychologist Carl Jung's theory of psychological types (1920s). It was developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers during World War II. In an MBTI test, certain preferred psychological preferences of managers / employees / students / people are placed on 4 dichotomies:
The MBTI type preferences can be combined to form 16 different personality types and personal development preferences. For example, one manager may be an ISTJ (Intravert, Sensor, Thinker, Perceiver) and another may be an ENFJ (Extravert, iNtuitor, Feeler, Judger). These MBTI combinations can be used as a basis for personal development, team development, and coaching. The MBTI is not a test, but a self-evaluation instrument. The instrument does not predict future behavior of people and does not measure skills. For this reason, the MBTI should not be used for behavior prediction, recruitment and selection. In academic circles the opinion of MBTI is low and the model is often dismissed as commercial or pseudo-psychology. The MBTI can be seen as an example of Trait Leadership Theory.
