Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

The Myers-Briggs type Indicator (MBTI) is a self-report questionnaire, designed to identify psychological differences based on the type theories developed by Carl Gustav Jung.  Jung proposed the existence of two opposite pairs of cognitive functions: The “rational” (judging) functions, Thinking and Feeling, and the “irrational" (perceiving) functions, Sensing and Intuition.  Jung also suggested that these functions are expressed in either an introverted or extraverted form.

Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers, developed the MBTI as their own theory, working from Jung’s original concepts.  The test was first published in 1962.  It has a high validity rate for adults which is confirmed by considerable research.
    
     The MBTI regards personality type as traits that one is either born with or develops as preferred ways of thinking and behaving.  The MBTI test sorts these psychological differences into four opposite pairs with a resulting 16 possible psychological types.   It is frequently used as a tool for personal development, psychotherapy, group dynamics, employee and leadership training, life coaching, marriage counseling, and executive coaching.

An MBTI consultation with the C. G.  Jung Center includes administration of the Indicator as well as an hour long session with a certified MBTI consultant.  The fee for this service is $100.00.
