MBTI® or Myers Briggs Type Indicator® is the most often used personality questionnaire which helps individuals gain an understanding of their own personality preferences.

It helps to explain why different kinds of people are interested in different things, prefer different kinds of work, and sometimes find it hard to understand each other-all due to basic differences in how people take in information and make decisions about it. This insight in itself can often aid communication and understanding within teams as well as cross-functional teams.

The MBTI instrument was developed from the work of Carl Jung and particularly his book Psychological Types.

Essentially within the MBTI there are 16 types and the report based on the questionnaire will inform individuals of their preferences. The MBTI Consultant will discuss the report in orsder for the delegate to decide which type is their "best fit".

Benefits in a personal development and team building environment include increased personal awareness, understanding colleagues and developing strategies to interact with different types.
