Objectives
At the end of this training you will be able to:
Understand the eight preferences
Identify your best-fit type
Gain an understanding of how similarities
and differences in personality types can

Achieving These Objectives
To achieve these objectives, we will

be using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

(MBTI ) instrument and looking at the ideas
on which it is based
4
About the MBTI Instrument
An indicatornot a test
Looks only at normal behavior
Forced-choice questions
No right or wrong answersno better or

All types have potential strengths and possible
pitfalls or blind spots
Your results are confidential
5
Carl G. Jung
Carl Gustav Jung
(18751961), a Swiss
psychiatrist, developed
a theory of personality:
Differences between people
are not random. Instead
they form patternstypes.
Psychological Types
(published 1921, translated
into English 1923)
6
Katharine C. Briggs
Katharine C. Briggs
(18751968), an American,
read Jungs Psychological
Types in 1923.
She spent the next 20 years

studying, developing, and
applying Jungs theory.
7
Isabel Briggs Myers
Isabel Briggs Myers
(18971980) developed
Jungs theory in partnership
with Briggs.
Beginning in 1943, she

developed questions that
became the Myers-Briggs
Type Indicator instrument.

8
The Mind-set to Bring
As you answer the questions:
Think of what you prefer when you do
not have outside pressures to behave
in a particular way
Be yourself, outside of the roles you play
at work or in your personal life
Your shoes off self
9
Now Lets Take the MBTI Instrument
(Mind-set)
10
Jungs Personality Theory
Every person carries out two kinds of
mental processes:
We take in information
Then we make decisions about the information
Everyone has preferred ways of using

these mental processes
11
Jungs Personality Theory (cont.)
Jung observed that we all live in two worlds:
The outer world of things, people, and events
and
The inner world of our own thoughts, feelings,
and reflections
Each person has a preference for either the

outer world or the inner world
12
Jungs Personality Theory (cont.)
Jung believed that preferences are
innateinborn predispositions
He also recognized that they are shaped by
environmental influences, such as family,
culture, and education
Nature vs. Nurture

Handedness Activity
To illustrate thislets do an activity.
On a post it note sign your name
Now sign your name againusing the other
hand
Call out some words that describe the
experience of writing the first signature
Now, some words to describe writing the
second signature
Note: We all can and do use both hands; for
writing, one is natural, comfortable, automatic
14
The MBTI Dichotomies

The MBTI instrument indicates preferences on four

pairs of opposites, called dichotomies:
Extraversion E or I Introversion
Sensing S or N Intuition
Thinking T or F Feeling
Judging J or P Perceiving
15
MBTI Theory

Four pairs of oppositeslike our right and

left hands. We all use both sides of each
pair, but one is our natural preference.
The MBTI instrument is designed to

indicate those inborn preferences.
The MBTI instrument is not designed to

measure skills or effects of environment.
