The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a self-report personality inventory designed to give people information about their Jungian psychological type preferences. Isabel Briggs Myers and Katherine Cook Briggs began developing the MBTI in the early 1940s to make C. G. Jung's theory of human personality understandable and useful in everyday life.
MBTI results indicate the respondent's likely preferences on four dimensions:
|
Extraversion (E) OR Introversion (I) |
|
Sensing (S) OR Intuition (N) |
|
Thinking (T) OR Feeling (F) |
|
Judging (J) OR Perceiving (P) |
Results on the Indicator are generally reported with letters representing each of the preferences as indicated above.
There are 16 possible ways to combine the preferences, resulting in 16 MBTI types:
ISTJ, ISTP, ESTP, ESTJ, ISFJ, ISFP, ESFP, ESFJ, INFJ, INFP, ENFP, ENFJ, INTJ, INTP, ENTP, and ENTJ.
