The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator instrument was developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katherine Cook Briggs. Their aim was to create a tool to indicate, validate and put to practical use C.G. Jung’s work on psychological type.
After 70 years of research and development, the
current MBTI® assessment is the most widely used instrument for understanding normal personality differences.
The assessment explains basic patterns in human functioning, the MBTI® too is used for a wide variety of purposes including Self-understanding and development, Career development and exploration, Team building, Management and Leadership training, Problem-solving, Conflict Management, Executive Coaching, and Stress Management.

Frequently Asked Questions
There is no personality assessment that can measure every aspect of human personality. All models used in different personality assessments use a small number of descriptors.
The MBTI® focuses on four preference pairs:
- Extraversion–Introversion (E–I): From where you get your energy
- Sensing–Intuition (S–N): What information do you prefer to gather and trust
- Thinking–Feeling (T–F): The process you prefer to use in making decisions
- Judging–Perceiving (J–P): How you deal with the world around you
This isn’t to say that everyone who has a preference for Sensing, for example, is alike in every aspect. Personality is more complex than that! However, sorting people into the 16 types based on certain aspects of personality can illustrate how people are alike and how they are different.
Genuine MBTI® assessments are copyrighted and only accessible by individuals who are MBTI® Certified Practitioners. Practitioners provide you with a link to complete the assessment and set up a meeting with you to provide you with the interpretation of the tool.
The MBTI® assessment is backed up by 75 years of research and continues to be refined and updated.
The MBTI® assessment is not intended for use in the selection of job candidates, nor for making internal decisions regarding job placement, selection for teams or task forces, or other similar activities.
It is unethical to require job applicants to take the assessment if the results will be used to screen out applicants.
The MBTI® tool is primarily used for the development of individuals not for selection purposes.
If your MBTI® assessment included detailed and thorough feedback from a Practitioner providing you with guidelines and insights to your “best fit type”, there is no need to take it again if you know your MBTI® type. However, if you are uncertain about your TYPE and unaware of how your type impacts your life events and decision-making, it may be worthwhile to revisit the tool with a certified practitioner.
The instrument should always be interpreted by a certified and licensed MBTI® Practitioner. You should not merely be handed a report of your assessment. The assessment must always include an interpretive session with a certified and licensed MBTI® Practitioner. During the sessions the Practitioner will discuss and interpret the results of the assessment and determine the “best fit type” with the client.
Trainings Offered
The MBTI® Communication Program
Communication in the workplace can be a huge challenge when dealing with a team that has differing personalities. It can be a cause of frustration, anxiety, and stress overall if you do not take the time to understand the values that each differing personality brings to the work floor.
When team members understand each other, and the different perspectives that each member brings, they will learn to appreciate each other, value each other’s input, and create a stronger bond with their team.
In this program, you will learn your communication style, and your team’s communication style, and what you and your team need to work on to bridge the communication gap.
The MBTI® Leadership Program
Find out your leadership style through MBTI® & FITO-B
Inspirational leaders are those that empower individuals, transform an organization, and provide purpose and meaning for individuals. Under such
leadership, employees feel valued and share a common goal and vision. Creating such an environment requires great talent, skill, and knowledge but most importantly knowledge of self in order to serve others.
In this program you will find out your unique leadership style, your strengths, challenges, and receive a unique report that comes with action points based on your “best fit type”.
The MBTI® Personal Impact Program
What is your personal impact?
Personal impact has been defined as “the action of one object coming forcibly in contact with another: to have a marked effect or influence; a strong effect”. Individuals today, especially leaders, have the ability to make a difference and a strong connection with people they come across. Their ability to connect with others and their work values say a lot about their ability to strategize, envision, inspire, persuade, sell, convince, motivate and educate people to achieve common goals.
In this program you’ll learn about how you impact your personal and work life and that of others.
