The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a personality test that helps people learn more about themselves and how they interact with others. This can be helpful for those who are planning on going into the workplace, considering starting a new business, or just want to gain an understanding of their own personal preferences. The MBTI was developed by mother and daughter Katherine Cook Briggs and Isabel Myers in the 1940s during World War II as part of a larger effort to help women who were entering the workforce find jobs that suited them best.

Personality type invented by Isabel Briggs Myers

Both Myers and Briggs were fascinated by Jung’s theory of psychological types and recognized that the theory could have real-world applications. Jung archetype theories are still used today to describe personality types and how people interact with one another.

The MBTI is a questionnaire that measures four sets of traits:

E – Extraversion vs Introversion; N – iNtuition vs Sensing; T- Thinking vs Feeling, J-Judging vs Perceiving. There are 16 different personalities.

ISTJ – The Inspector

ISTP – The Crafter

ISFJ – The Protector

ISFP – The Artist

INFJ – The Advocate

INFP – The Mediator

INTJ – The Architect

INTP – The Thinker

ESTP – The Persuader
