MYERS BRIGGS
Type Indicator
QUEENSLAND INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS ACADEMY
“Whatever the circumstances of your
life, the understanding of type can
make your perceptions clearer, your
judgments sounder and your life
closer to your heart’s desire”
Isabel Briggs Myers

The Myers Briggs Type Indicator comes from
Jungian psychology and was developed by a
mother and daughter team during World War
II in England.

According to Jung’s typology, all people can be
classified using three criteria, these criteria are:
 Extroversion - Introversion
 Sensing - Intuition
 Thinking – Feeling

Isabel Briggs Myers added the fourth criterion:
 Judging – Perceiving

Part of our “filters” – the way people see the
world is different.

No right or wrong type - another form of
diversity.

Type has nothing to do with ability or
competence.

Everyone uses every preference. However, we
favor one preference over the other on each of
the four scales
Where people prefer to focus their attention and get their energy
E
The outer world of people and
activity
Their inner world of ideas and
experiences
I
How people prefer to take in information
S
Focused on what is real and
actual
Focused on patterns and
meanings in data
N
Concern for their impact on
others
F
How people prefer to make decisions
T
Logical analysis
How people prefer to deal with the outer world
J
In a planned orderly way
In a flexible spontaneous way
