The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) assessment
A foundation for lifelong personal development
By defining personality type, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) assessment builds a robust foundation for lifelong personal development. It provides a constructive, flexible, and liberating framework for understanding individual differences and strengths.
The MBTI assessment is the most widely used personality assessment in the world. Far more than simple personality questionnaires, the MBTI® Step I™ and Step II™ assessments provide a constructive, flexible framework that can be applied to all areas of human interaction and personal development. The MBTI framework reveals how we approach the world around us and interact with others, offering insights into our motivation and the motivations of others. This provides a strong foundation for personal growth and development, underpinning enhanced personal effectiveness.
- The MBTI Step I assessment identifies our personality preferences on four pairs of opposites and provides a positive, easy-to-use framework to explain similarities and differences.
- The MBTI Step II assessment delves deeper into the nuances of the four Step I preference pairs, providing insight into the unique ways in which we express our personality preferences.
Starting with an understanding of MBTI type, the MBTI framework supports a far-reaching and lifelong Development Journey that embraces many common challenges both inside and outside the workplace:
