Myers Briggs Type Indicator

Our qualified and experienced consultants can design and deliver Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) team building workshops for organisations across Melbourne and Regional Victoria.

The MBTI is based on C. G. Jung’s theory of psychological types and is used extensively for personal and career development, team building, leadership development and executive coaching.

The Myers Briggs assesses an individual’s personality preferences based on the following four scales:

Direction of Energy

Extraversion (E)

Focus on the people & things in the outer world

Introversion (I)

Focus on the thoughts, feelings and impressions of the inner world

Gathering Information

Sensing (S)

Focus on facts and details that can be confirmed by experience

Intuition (N)

Focus on possibilities and relationships among ideas

Making Decisions

Thinking (T)

Use impersonal, objective, logical analysis to reach conclusions

Feeling (F)

Use person – centred, subjective analysis to reach conclusions

Dealing with the Outer World

Judging (J)

Plan and organise; make decisions and come to closure

Perceiving (P)

Be spontaneous and adaptable; collect information and stay open to new options
