MYERS BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR® (MBTI®)
 The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random behaviour is actually quite orderly and consistent , owing to basic differences in the ways individuals are orientated towards the outside world, how they take in information and draw conclusions about what they perceive.
Developed in the 1940s by Katherine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers, the MBTI® assessment was created to make Carl Jung's theory of human personality understandable and useful in everyday life. Today the MBTI® tool is the most widely used personality assessment in the world, recognised by many as the best available resource on the market. Business and individuals have been using this powerful tool for 70 years with millions worldwide taking the indicator each year, including many Fortune 500 companies.
The MBTI® indentifies an individual's preference for Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I), Sensing (S) or Intuition (N), Thinking (T) or Feeling (F), and Judging (J) or Perceiving (P) - indicated by a four letter type 'code'.
