In developing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator [instrument], the aim of Isabel Briggs Myers, and her mother, Katharine Briggs, was to make the insights of type theory accessible to individuals and groups. They addressed the two related goals in the developments and application of the MBTI instrument:
The identification of basic preferences of each of the four dichotomies specified or implicit in Jung’s theory.
The identification and description of the 16 distinctive personality types that result from the interactions among the
preferences.”
Favorite world: Do you prefer to focus on the outer world or on your own inner world? This is called
Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I).
Information: Do you prefer to focus on the basic information you take in or do you prefer to interpret and add meaning? This is called
Sensing (S) or Intuition (N).
Decisions: When making decisions, do you prefer to first look at logic and consistency or first look at the people and special circumstances? This is called
Thinking (T) or Feeling (F).
Structure: In dealing with the outside world, do you prefer to get things decided or do you prefer to stay open to new information and options? This is called
Judging (J) or Perceiving (P).
Your Personality Type: When you decide on your preference in each category, you have
your own personality type, which can be expressed as a code with four letters.
The 16 personality types of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
® instrument are listed here as they are often shown in what is called a “type table.”
