Managing Differences (MBTI)

What is The Myers Briggs Type Indicator®?

The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is known worldwide as a tool for assessing personality types.

The MBTI helps people to identify what they are best at and prefer doing. It focuses on number of mental and behavioural functions that are central to managing and processing information, decision building, and operations.

The MBTI can be usefully applied in a number of areas:

• Developing managers at all levels (leadership training, coaching, etc.);
• Improving team processes and group work;
• Self- and stress-management – improving ‘work-life-balance’;
• Career development.

Working with The Myers Briggs Type Indicator®

Interpretation of your MBTI results with the help of a skilled trainer enables you to understand and value your type, and guide you to areas for development. Knowing oneself better is a necessary step towards understanding and valuing others. Through our knowledge of the types in our team, MBTI-users find it much easier to appreciate others for their specific outlooks and contributions, rather than manipulating them into conformity. Co-operation will improve, and objectives will be achieved more efficiently.
