Myers Briggs
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) assessment tool was developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and Katharine Briggs and is based on Carl Jung’s theory of psychological types. It has been used for more than 60 years to help people become more satisfied and successful in their careers.
The report can help you:
- Identify job families, or broad occupational categories, to help in your career search
- Choose a specific job or career
- Identify strengths and potential weaknesses of your type for the career search process
- Increase your job satisfaction
- Make a career transition or shift
- Plan your career development strategy and action steps
This report is only one source of information. When choosing a career or contemplating a career change, you must also consider your abilities and skills, your occupational and leisure interests, and your values and goals. You will also need information about specific tasks involved in different occupations, as well as current career opportunities.
An individual’s MBTI® career report is organised into the following sections:
- Summary of your MBTI® results
- How your type affects your career choice
- How your type affects your career exploration
- How your type affects your career development
- Job families and occupations for your type including ranking from most popular occupations to least popular
The MBTI® assessment is conducted by a qualified and registered Myers-Briggs practitioner who will have the time and flexibility to help interpret the report, guide you on linking the report findings to your abilities, skills and interests, so that you understand your personality preferences more clearly, how these relate to specific career options and why.
