Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®)
This is one of my favourite tools for individual and team development.
Developed by Isabel Myers and Katharine C Briggs more than 50 years ago, it is a powerful indicator of personality type. Most large companies use MBTI®. It can also be used by individuals looking to develop their self-awareness, communication skills and flexibility. I would encourage anyone interested in developing themselves to go through an MBTI® profile with a trained facilitator.
MBTI® Step 1 looks at four dimensions
- Where people get their energy
- How people take in information
- How people make decisions
- How people orientate themselves in the world
