What is the Myers-Briggs quiz and what is its purpose?

 

The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality inventory is to make the theory of psychological understandable and useful for others. The purpose of this theory is that our behavior has an explanation and is actually orderly and consistent. Depending on our personality type, we act, judge and perceive the world differently. 

 

Who invented this quiz?

The personality types came from the typological theories proposed by Carl Gustav Jung and first published in his 1921 book Psychological Types. Jung's theory states that there are four orincipal phsycological functions that allow us to experience the world. These four functions include: sensation, intuition, feeling, and thinking. Most of the time only one of the four functions is more dominant. The original developers of the personality inventory were Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers.

 

How can my type affect me in my everyday life?

When you understand your type preferences, you can approach your own work in a manner that best suits your style, including how you manage your time, problem solving, best approaches to decision making, and dealing with stress. Knowledge of type can help you deal with the culture of the place you work, the development of new skills, understanding your participation on teams, and coping with change in the workplace.
