Focus on the MBTI® tool

  • MBTI® stands for Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, a tool developed by Katherine Briggs and Isabel Myers. The MBTI® is used by over 3.5 million people every year... 

    The MBTI® takes the form of a self-assessment questionnaire and helps people to :

    • Explore their information and decision-making preferences;
    • Identify where they prefer to focus their attention;
    • Understand how they prefer to live their lives;
    • Clarify their style of working and interacting with people.

    The MBTI® tool is based on the personality theory of Carl Jung, who theorized people's preferences. It corresponds to a model with 4 pairs of opposing preferences that indicate how an individual :

    • Draws energy (Extraversion / Introversion),
    • Perceives information (Sensation / intuition),
    • Makes decisions (T (thinking) / F (feeling), 
    • Manages time and space (Judgment / Perception).

    Each individual identifies four preferences, one of each pair, which make up his or her "MBTI® type". There are 16 different personality types.

    The reflection process proposed using the MBTI® enables you to better understand your own functioning and that of others, and when used in a group: to facilitate communication between team members and strengthen team cohesion.
