What do Clients Say?

The MBTI workshop really helped me understand my personality in a way I hadn’t thought of it before. I learned how my personality can react to certain situations and now I can think about my reactions as they are happening.

We took the first MBTI course and, later, came back to learn more through a follow-on on communicating more effectively. For me, the second workshop just really brought things to life and helped me better see how my personality affects my day to day. Next, I’d love to follow-up on other topics like conflict and how we can improve our team’s decision-making when we’re deciding together.

The workshop was great. Our facilitator helped us open up to each other and really share where our team communication is working well for us and where we need to consider each other’s different styles to help everyone out. I don’t think we would’ve figured some of this out as quickly without the workshop.

Myers Briggs (MBTI) FAQ

The “MBTI®” refers to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®, the world’s most popular personality type assessment. It uses the Myers-Briggs® framework to define 16 four-letter personality types. 

 

The MBTI® assessment is a powerful and multipurpose personality assessment that provides a common language for understanding personality differences, personal motivations, and group interactions.

The MBTI® assessment looks at our personality preferences on four pairs of preferences:

 

  • Extraversion–Introversion (E–I): Do you prefer to get your energy from, and focus your attention on, the outside world of people and things (E) or your inner world of thoughts, feelings, and reflections (I)?
  • Sensing–Intuition (S–N): Do you prefer to gather and trust information that is realistic, concrete, practical, and gathered by your five senses (S) or information based on connections, possibilities, ideas, and what could be (N)?
  • Thinking–Feeling (T–F): Do you prefer to make decisions on the basis of objective logic (T) or on how the decision will affect people and whether it agrees with your values (F)?
  • Judging–Perceiving (J–P): Do you prefer to live your life in an ordered, structured way, seeking closure (J) or in an emergent, spontaneous way, keeping your options open (P)?

According to Jung-Myers theory, we each have a preference for E or I, S or N, T or F, and J or P.

The Myers-Briggs Company reports that 88% of Fortune 500 companies have used the MBTI® Assessment. It is used in 115 countries worldwide. It is also backed by 70+ years of research and development, making it a proven choice for your team or organization.

The MBTI® tool is a versatile personality assessment that provides a common language for understanding personality differences, personal motivations, and group interactions.

Additionally, many of your support materials purchased with your workshop will include access to online learning resources to support continued growth and application.

To better apply what they’ve learned, many organizations find value in MBTI® refresher sessions or workshops, often conducted twice a year. These sessions are focused on: 

 

  • re-visiting your team’s personality composition, unique characteristics, and challenges from the first workshop
  • checking-in on team behaviors and commitments to apply insights and remain accountable, and
  • surface specific team challenges, changes, or goals as they evolve

Additionally, teams find that the MBTI® tool is versatile to help across interpersonal skills and team dynamics. Following an introductory MBTI workshop, teams are encouraged to go deeper and build on this foundation with workshops that explore:

 

  • Improving Team Communication using the MBTI®
  • Enhancing Change Management using the MBTI®
  • Working through Conflict more Effectively using the MBTI®
  • Enhancing Decision-Making using the MBTI®
  • Growing Individual Resiliency & Adaptability using the MBTI®
  • Enhancing One’s Leadership Style & Effectiveness using the MBTI®

Even when individuals have taken the MBTI®, it may be useful for them to retake the MBTI® assessment and have a quality debrief and interpretation session with a certified practitioner. It is not uncommon for the debrief and interpretation session to surface a more complete response from the participant, helping them better estimate and validate their own results.

Reliability refers to the consistency of a measure, both in terms of how well the questions within it align with each other (internal consistency reliability) and how stable the results remain over time (test-retest reliability). For psychometric assessments, a general benchmark for internal consistency reliability is a score of .70 or higher. The MBTI® assessment exceeds this standard, with internal consistency reliabilities for its four preference scales averaging around .90 and test-retest correlations above .80 for intervals of up to 15 weeks. In summary, the MBTI® assessment demonstrates strong reliability. 

 

Additionally, substantial evidence supports its validity, as documented in four editions of the MBTI® manual (1962, 1985, 1998, 2018) and various technical supplements. The most comprehensive review of validity evidence for the MBTI Step I™ and Step II™ assessments is presented in chapters 9 and 10 of the MBTI® Manual for the Global Step I™ and Step II™ Assessments (Myers, McCaulley, Quenk, & Hammer, 2018).
