The Myers Briggs Type Indicator is the most widely used, respected and valid personality instrument used worldwide. It has been translated to over 30 languages and validated in 4 languages. Based on the studies of Swiss Psychologist Carl Jung, the instrument was developed by a mother-daughter team, Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers. Their goal was to teach individuals to better understand individual differences and thereby increase communication and decrease interpersonal conflict.

This personality instrument is based on the premise that there are four scales by which humans receive information, make decisions, interact and behave with one another and their world. Each individual falls along a continuum and the combination of four preferences can give insight to personal behaviors, how these behaviors can impact personal satisfaction, interpersonal communications and individual success.
