The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type
Indicator (MBTI)

In developing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the


aim of Isabel Briggs Myers, and her mother,
Katharine Briggs, was to make the insights of type
theory accessible to individuals and groups.
The identification of basic preferences of each of
the four dichotomies specified or implicit in Jung's
theory.
Classifying Personality Traits

Favorite world: Do you prefer to focus on the outer world or on


your own inner world? This is called Extraversion (E) or
Introversion (I).

Information: Do you prefer to focus on the basic information you


take in or do you prefer to interpret and add meaning? This is
called Sensing (S) or Intuition (N).

Decisions: When making decisions, do you prefer to first look at


logic and consistency or first look at the people and special
circumstances? This is called Thinking (T) or Feeling (F).

Structure: In dealing with the outside world, do you prefer to get


things decided or do you prefer to stay open to new information
and options? This is called Judging (J) or Perceiving (P).
Your Personality Type:

When you decide on your preference in each category, you


have your own personality type, which can be expressed
as a code with four letters.

The 16 personality types of the Myers-Briggs Type


Indicator instrument are listed here as they are often
shown in what is called a "type table."
