History • The Indicator is based on the personality theories of the eminent Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. • The model was developed by two non-psychologists, Briggs and Myers, who wanted to give as many people as possible access to these powerful ideas. • It is one of the few models of personality that describes differences positively. • There are no better or worse types to be; each type has its strengths and possible pitfalls.
Research • Over 20 years of research went into the MBTI questionnaire before it was published. • There are over 4, 000 research papers on the MBTI instrument, which provide strong support for its reliability and validity. • The MBTI questionnaire continues to be refined and updated. Culturally sensitive forms have been published, including the UK MBTI Step I. It is available in 14 European languages. • Authors from a wide range of backgrounds have written about the Indicator, and hundreds of practical, easy-toread resources are available.
What is a preference? Signature • Write your signature… • . . . now do it again with the OTHER hand!
What was the difference? • • Typical responses: Preferred hand Non-preferred hand Feels natural, flowing • Feels unnatural, and comfortable difficult and awkward Didn’t think about it, • Required just did it concentration to do it Quick, effortless and • Slow, jerky, takes easy more effort Looks distinctive, • Not ‘me’, but gets recognisably my work easier with practice
Things to remember • Preference tells us what you find most energising and comfortable. • Type cannot determine ability or skill. • There is no such thing as the ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ type. • Everyone is able to use all eight of the preferences. • You are best placed to decide your own type. • Completion of the MBTI questionnaire is voluntary.
Ethics • The MBTI questionnaire should only be used for development. • The MBTI questionnaire cannot be used for selection, because it tells you nothing about a person’s skills and abilities. • People should only be asked to share their MBTI type if they feel comfortable doing so – each individual owns their data and can choose to share it or not as they wish.
