Much more than a produce, the Myers Briggs assessment tool is a powerfully versatile solution that has been used and proven effective in helping huge numbers of people in the UK and all over the world; help to improve their understanding of themselves and how they interact with the people around them.

Assessing Your People

The Myers Briggs assessment provides the tools you need to help you better understand individual differences.  It also provides graphic descriptions which are easy to read and understand, describing reported type descriptions, preferences and characteristics.

The programme also provides a feedback and discussion session with your practitioner.

Myers Briggs Model Of Personality

The Myers Briggs model of personality is based on four preferences (E or I, S or N, T or F and J or P). You combine the preferences to give your Myers Briggs personality type. Eg: having preferences for E and S and T and J gives a personality type of ESTJ.

There are sixteen Myers Briggs personality types (listed in the table, right).

You have a preference for one hand but use them both. Similarly, you have many facets to your Myers Briggs personality, prefer some but use all of them.

MBTI is one of the tools we use for coaching, personal development and performance improvement as well and for team and management training.

Call us today to book for MBTI Personality Type Assessment and start working on developing a greater understanding of yourself now.
