Myers-Briggs Assessment (aka MBTI - Myers-Briggs Type Indicator)

Updated:

11/12/24

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a widely known personality assessment tool based on Carl Jung's theories of psychological types. It categorizes individuals into 16 personality types derived from four dichotomies: Extraversion/Introversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, and Judging/Perceiving (e.g., ENTJ, ISFP). Despite its popularity, the MBTI lacks the scientific rigor of other personality models like the Big Five and 16PF. Research has shown that it lacks reliability, with results that often vary over time. Due to these limitations, its use in professional or academic contexts should be approached with caution.
