"It is up to each person to recognize his or her true preferences." Isabel Briggs Myers What does the MBTI® do to help me better live my life or lead my team? In understanding how different people perceive the world, the MBTI® helps you begin to accept the fact that personality type preferences create different ways of navigating the world. "Perception involves all the ways of becoming aware of things, people, happenings, or ideas. Judgment involves all the ways of coming to conclusions about what has been perceived. If people differ systematically in what they perceive and in how they reach conclusions, then it is only reasonable for them to differ correspondingly in their interests, reactions, values, motivations, and skills." How does the MBTI® help me reach my goals in life? The goal of knowing about personality type is to understand and appreciate differences between people. As all types are equal, there is no best type. The MBTI instrument sorts for preferences and does not measure trait, ability, or character. The MBTI tool is different from many other psychological instruments and also different from other personality tests. Why the MBTI® instead of other instruments? The best reason to choose the MBTI instrument to discover your personality type is that hundreds of studies over the past 40 years have proven the instrument to be both valid and reliable. In other words, it measures what it says it does (validity) and produces the same results when given more than once (reliability). When you want an accurate profile of your personality type, ask if the instrument you plan to use has been validated. And ensure you hire only a certified MBTI® practitioner to provide you the assessment and verify your results with you! This package includes: an online self-assessment, a 90-minute debrief with a certified practitioner and a copy of the "Introduction to Myers-Briggs® Type" booklet and companion website access.
