Myers - Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a personality test designed to assist a person in identifying significant personal preferences. Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers developed the Indicator during World War II and its criteria follow on from Karl Jung's theories in his work: "Psychological Types"

TWP use the indicator primarily to supplement work that is already being carried out in areas such as Leadership Development, Coaching, Personal Development and Team Dynamics.

TWP Accreditation
TWP have two trainers who are officially accredited to administer the MBTI Indicator (Step 1 and Step 2): Ms. Miranda Yen and Mr. Mark Hemstedt.

About MBTI
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) questionnaire is the most widely used personality questionnaire worldwide. More than 3.5m questionnaires are completed worldwide every year. It is based on over 50 years research and development and is available in 19 languages.

The MBTI questionnaire describes an individual's personality preferences. It represents these in four dimensions:

Extraversion or Introversion
Prefers to draw energy from the outer world of activity, people and things   Prefers to draw energy from the inner world of reflections, feelings and ideas
Sensing or Intuition
Prefers to focus on information gained from the five senses and on practical applications   Prefers to focus on patterns, connections and possible meanings
Thinking or Feeling
Prefers to base decisions on logic and objective analysis of cause and effect    Prefers to base decisions on a valuing process, considering what is important to people
Judging or Perceiving
Likes a planned, organised approach to life, and prefers to have things decided   Likes a flexible, spontaneous approach and prefers to keep options open

The various combinations of these preferences result in 16 personality 'types'. Each is associated with a unique set of behavioural characteristics and values. These provide a useful starting point for individual feedback, self-exploration and group discussion.
