"transforming potential into success"

Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

Myers Briggs Type Indicator is the best known and most widely used personality profile.  It was developed by Katherine Briggs and Isabel Myers, based on the work of Carl Jung, a Swiss Psychologist.

The MBTI provides a very useful measure of personality by looking at eight personality preferences that all people use at different times. The eight preferences are divided into four bi-polar scales.  The four preferences that are chosen are combined into what is called a "type".

The MBTI

• describes rather than prescribes, it gives feedback on preferences indicated when answering the questions
• describes preferences, not skills or attributes
• says all preferences are equally important
• is well documented and researched over a forty year period

The MBTI is a most useful tool to assist with the development of teams, communication skills, conflict management and work preferences, as it assists understanding both of ourselves and others.

At coaching4success MBTI is used to enhance growth and development, relationships and team performance, success in work and home, and your ability to know yourself and to understand others.  It is used as a tool for discovery, not as an excuse for behavior.
