Personality Types: Carl Jung and the Myers-Briggs (MBTI) Test

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (or MBTI®) is a popular psychometric questionnaire for helping to understand personality types.

The MBTI approach is largely based upon the work of Psychologist Carl Jung (1875-1961). Jung’s research was developed into the MBTI model by Isabel Briggs Myers, alongside her mother Katherine Briggs. 

They sought to apply Jung’s theories to understanding normal behaviour, not just the psychiatric disorders which were of primary interest to psychiatrists such as Jung. Thus, the tool aims to identify and clarify individual behavioural preferences in everyday life.

This episode gives an introduction to Jung's model and the MBTI test and you can find out more by following this link to the website: https://therightquestions.co/personality-types-carl-jung-and-limits-of-the-myers-briggs-test/
