| 'Myers-Briggs' normally refers to a classification of psychological types.
| |
| | |
| | |
| It works with our broad 'personality preferences':
| |
| | |
| *Where we focus our '''attention''';
| |
| *The way we take in '''information''';
| |
| *How we make '''decisions'''; and
| |
| *How we deal with the '''external world'''.
| |
| | |
| | |
| The first step of Myers-Briggs work is to identify our preferences in each of these four dimensions:
| |
| | |
| *Attention: extroversion ('''E''') or introversion ('''I''');
| |
| *Information route: sensing ('''S''') or intuition ('''N''');
| |
| *Decision-making: thinking ('''T''') or feeling ('''F'''); and
| |
| *Dealing with the world: judging ('''J''') or perceiving ('''P''').
| |
| | |
| | |
| This leads in turn to a classification as one of 16 types, for example 'ESTJ' or 'INFP'.
| |
| | |
| These psychological types are known as 'MBTI' (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator).
| |
| | |
| The identification of preferences is usually made by a questionnaire.
| |
| | |
| | |
| The idea is to provide insight into our own personalities and those of other people, to help us work more effectively together.

| 'Myers-Briggs' can also refer to:
| |
| | |
| *More detailed analysis and consultancy, building on and developing from an initial MBTI questionnaire.
| |
| *The originators of the first questionnaire in 1943, Katherine Briggs and Isabel Myers.
| |
| *More broadly, the recognition of the importance of the systematic identification of personality types, and its application in organisations.
