Career Development - Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Inventory

Career Development Information


The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a self-report questionnaire designed to make Carl Jung's theory of psychological types understandable and useful in everyday life. MBTI results identify valuable differences between normal, healthy people, differences that can be the source of much misunderstanding and miscommunication.

After more than 50 years of research and development, the current MBTI is the most widely used instrument for understanding normal personality differences.

Because it explains basic patterns in human functioning, the MBTI is used for a wide variety of purposes including the following:

  • self understanding and development
  • career development and exploration
  • organizational development
  • team building
  • management and leadership training
  • problem solving

Taking the MBTI Inventory and receiving feedback will help you identify your unique gifts. The information enhances understanding of yourself, your motivations, your natural strengths, and your potential areas for growth. It will also help you appreciate people who differ from you. Understanding your MBTI type is self-affirming and encourages cooperation from others.
