Mbti Sentence Examples

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a widely used personality inventory, or test, employed in vocational, educational, and psychotherapy settings to evaluate personality type in adolescents and adults age 14 and older.

In an educational setting, the MBTI may be performed to assess student learning style.

In a classroom setting, the MBTI may be used to help teens and young adults better understand their learning, communication, and social interaction styles.

Because the MBTI is also a tool for self-discovery, mental health professionals may administer the test in counseling sessions to provide their patients with insight into their behavior.

Among adults, the MBTI is also used in organizational settings to assess management skills and facilitate teamwork and problem solving.

In 2000, an estimated two million people took the MBTI, making it the most frequently used personality inventory available.

A derivative version of the MBTI, developed by Elizabeth Murphy and Charles Meisgeier, is available for children age seven through 13 (grades two through eight).

The assessment, called the Murphy-Meisgeier Type Indicator for Children (MMTIC) uses the same four psychological types as the MBTI, but is written for a second grade reading level.

The MBTI should only be administered, scored, and interpreted by a professional trained in its use (except in the case of Form M, which can be self-scored but should still be administered and interpreted by a professional).

Prior to the administration of the MBTI, the test subject should be fully informed about the nature of the test and its intended use.

There are a total of sixteen possible combinations of personality types on the MBTI.
