New Research by The Myers-Briggs Company Explores the Power of Teamwork

Sunnyvale, Calif. Oct 5, 2023 – An essential part of any organization, teams have many advantages over individual work. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t have their challenges.

To help understand the relationships among team performance, MBTI^® personality type and satisfaction, The Myers-Briggs Company is releasing the findings of two new studies: “Type, teams, and team performance”, and “Type, teams and job satisfaction”.

MBTI personality type and teams

This new report examines the elements associated with team effectiveness, encompassing individual perspectives and actions, the overall performance of the team, and the manner in which individuals' MBTI personality type preferences influence their perceptions of team collaboration.

“The survey shows that feeling valued is one of the best things people report about being on a team,” said John Hackston, Head of Thought Leadership at The Myers-Briggs Company and responsible for the study. “However, overall participants also reported that poor leadership was the worst thing about being on a team. This study sheds light on where teams and managers should focus their efforts to improve teamwork.”

• The most and least satisfied individual MBTI types
• The most and least satisfied team types
• The relationship between type and satisfaction, intention to leave, and remote/hybrid working
