MBTI, short for Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, is a widely used personality assessment tool based on Carl Jung’s theories. It categorizes individuals into one of 16 personality types, providing insights into their preferences in four dimensions: extraversion/introversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling, and judging/perceiving. MBTI is commonly used for personal development, career counseling, and team building. According to the MBTI theory, you combine your preferences to determine your personality type. The 16 types are referred to by an abbreviation of the initial letters of each of the four type preferences of each cognitive function. For example, “ISTP” would denote introversion, sensing, thinking, and perceiving. No combination is considered “better” or “worse” than another– all types are considered equal. The MBTI emphasizes that each individual has specific preferences in the way they view the world, and this assessment provides insight into the differences and similarities in people’s experiences of life.
