MBTI – Myers Briggs Type Indicator

Context 16 Personalities

Katherine Briggs was a teacher with an


avid interest in personality typing, having
developed her own type theory before
learning of Jung’s writings.

Together with her daughter, Isabel Briggs


Myers, they developed a convenient way
to describe the order of each person’s
Jungian preferences – this is how the
four-letter acronyms were born.

There are four possible pairs of


personality traits:

 Introversion (I) or Extraversion (E)


 Intuition (N) or Sensing (S)
 Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
 Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)
