Myers Briggs Profiling Tool (MBTI)

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is designed to help individuals gain a better understanding of the personality gifts they were born with, and how these gifts make them unique.   The MBTI profile can also demonstrate the ways in which people differ.
 
What the MBTI Measures

The MBTI questionnaire is designed to assess a person's preferences along the four dimensions and the interplay of those dimensions:

Extraversion / Introversion (E/I) - This dimension identifies where we prefer to focus our attention and how we get our energy.
 
Sensing / iNtuition (S/N) - This dimension identifies the way we prefer to take in information and learn
 
Thinking / Feeling (T/F) - This dimension identifies the way we prefer to make decisions
 
Judging / Perceiving (J/P) - This dimension identifies the way we orientate ourselves to the external world 

At My Performance Coach we use the MBTI instrument in a number of situations.  In can be used for an in-depth team building day and is highly effective in enabling deep understanding and appreciation of our colleagues.  MBTI is especially powerful at an individual level, and enhances career and personal development training or coaching.  

The MBTI questionnaire takes approximately 20 minutes to complete online and clients receive a professional detailed profile. 

NB/. People should be aware that there are many companies touting unofficial copies of MBTI questionnaires that may not be appropriately validated or reliable.  You should be wary of any organisation that is happy to just send you a report at a reduced cost.
