About MBTIŽ

The Myers-Briggs Type IndicatorŽ (MBTIŽ) intrument 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: 







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.

Though many factors combine to influence an individual's behaviors, values, and attitudes, the four-letter type descriptions summarize underlying patterns and behaviors common to most people of that type.
