Myres & Briggs Type

Knowing about personality type can take you leaps and bounds in your understanding of self and others. The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is an introspective self-assessment questionnaire presenting differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world, react and or receive information and make decisions.

The original versions of the MBTI were constructed by two Americans, Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. Myres & Briggs stated that “what appears to be random behavior is actually the result of differences in the way people prefer to use their mental capacities.”

MBTI is based on the conceptual theory proposed by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, who had speculated that people experience the world using four principal psychological functions – sensation, intuition, feeling, and thinking – and that one of these four functions is dominant for a person most of the time. The four categories are Introversion/Extraversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, Judging/Perception. Each person is said to have one preferred quality from each category, thereby producing 16 unique combinations, and each person falling into any one of the 16.

The validity of the MBTI is well established across industries. This corporate program gives you an introduction to MBTI, presents the detailed questionnaire and how it can benefit you personally! This knowledge is used by managers to design team activities inline with the team’s dominant personality type, or my teachers to facilitate learning based on a student’s personality type. Employees can use this information to articulate deals based on stakeholder personality types, and / or improve their dormant skills.

The program is available as a 1-day or 2-day variant depending on organizational needs.
