The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a recognized psychological tool derived from the work of Carl Jung, created by Isabel Briggs Myers and
Katharine Cook Briggs.
Its core purpose is to map out the fundamental ways people prefer to interact with the world.
The MBTI identifies 16 distinct personality types by combining four preference pairs:
Where your energy naturally recharges: through active connection with the outside world or quiet reflection in your inner world.
How you take in information: through concrete facts and details or through patterns, meanings, and future possibilities.
How you make decisions: by weighing logic and consistency or by considering values, empathy, and personal impact.
How you organize life: with structure, plans, and closure or with flexibility, spontaneity, and open options.
The MBTI is rooted in the 1921 psychological theories of Carl Jung.
It was developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers.
They began creating the indicator during World War II.
The initial goal was to help women entering the workforce find jobs where they would be "most comfortable and effective."
The first official MBTI manual was published in 1962.
Each person falls into one of these 16 four-letter types (e.g., ENTJ, INFP). The MBTI is extensively used for enhancing self-awareness, improving teamwork and communication in the workplace, and guiding career development. It emphasizes that every type is valuable and simply describes natural preferences, not skills or capability.
