PTC MBTI STYLE INVENTORY

Service Description

PTC MBTI The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a globally recognized psychological tool developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers, rooted in Carl Jung's theory of psychological types. It identifies 16 personality types based on four dichotomies: Extraversion (E) vs. Introversion (I), Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N), Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F), and Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P). Created during WWII to help individuals understand personality preferences, the MBTI has evolved through decades of refinement and research. The test, consisting of forced-choice questions, generates a four-letter personality code, aiding in self-awareness, career counseling, team building, leadership development, and conflict resolution. Widely used across cultures and industries, the MBTI is translated into over 20 languages and continuously adapted to diverse contexts. While critics argue its lack of scientific rigor and reliance on dichotomies, studies suggest its reliability and validity are strong within practical applications. Administered by certified professionals, it has established norms and is available in both online and paper formats. Despite competition from modern assessments like the Big Five, the MBTI remains popular for its simplicity, adaptability, and insightful framework, with promising advancements in digital integration, research, and global accessibility.
