Unique Ways to Flourish

Exploring the Diversity of Individual Personalities

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®)

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®) based on Jung’s Psychological Types, identifies different ways individuals gather information, reach decisions, and orientate themselves in the world. Establishing preferences on four fundamental dimensions (Extraversion-Introversion; Sensing-Intuition; Thinking-Feeling; Judging-Perceiving) results in a four letter type, for example ESTJ, INFP.

The gestalt of the four letters is far greater than the sum of the individual letter parts, with each type having a unique set of values and behavioural characteristics with inherent strengths and potential areas of weakness.

Increasing an individual’s self-awareness of type enhances the possibility of development and change, and allows differences between types to be explored in a non-judgemental manner.

The MBTI® indicator is an excellent tool for development but should not be used in selection, there being no right or wrong, or good or bad types. In a coaching environment the MBTI® results can be powerfully combined with 360° to give substance to the impact the person has on his environment, and helping to explain why the individual behaves in certain ways.

Reports:

Step 1

The Profile Report identifies the participant’s ‘reported’ four letter type. Once ‘best fit’ type has been established during feedback with a trained professional, a narrative report is produced. This explores personality in terms of the dynamics of the dominant, auxiliary, tertiary and inferior functions. This report gives many insights and practical applications.

Step 2

The Profile Report identifies the participant’s ‘reported’ four letter type. Once ‘best fit’ type has been established during feedback with a trained professional, a 23 page report provides information on the 20 sub-scales that make up the component parts, and gives a detailed overview of how different facets of the personality work together. The report includes the individual’s approach to communicating, making decisions, managing change, and managing conflict.
