4 About the MBTI Instrument An indicator - not a test Looks only at normal behavior Forced-choice questions No right or wrong answers - answer as you see fit There are no good or bad types - all types have some natural strengths and some possible pitfalls or blind spots 4

5 Jung s Theory Jung believed that preferences are innate - inborn predispositions. He believed that our preferences do not change - they stay the same over our lifetime but recognized that our innate preferences interact with and are shaped by environmental influences: Family Country Education and many others What changes is how we use our preferences and often the accuracy with which we can measure the preferences. 5

6 The MBTI Instrument was developed by Katharine C. Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers based on the work of Swiss psychologist C. G. Jung, who presented his psychological type theory in his book Psychological Types (published 1921, translated into English 1923). 6
