  1. An Overview of MBTI • UBC –O • July 14th, 2010 • Susan Parry, BA MEd Susan Parry M.Ed

  2. What is a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)? • The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a self-report questionnaire designed to make Jung’s theory of psychological types understandable and useful in everyday life. • It was designed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers who studied and elaborated the ideas of Swiss psychiatrist Carl G. Jung and applied them to understanding people around them. Susan Parry M.Ed

  3. Where is the MBTI used? • After more than 50 years of research and development, the current MBTI is the most widely used instrument for understanding normal personality differences. More than two million Indicators are administered annually in the USA and it is translated into more than 30 languages and used internationally. Susan Parry M.Ed

  4. Why is it used? • Self-understanding and development • Career development and exploration • Organization development • Team Building • Management and leadership training • Problem Solving • Relationship counseling Susan Parry M.Ed

  5. Further uses… • Education and curriculum development • Academic counseling • Diversity and Multicultural training • Improving the school learning environment Susan Parry M.Ed

  6. What is Psychological Type? • Psychological type is a theory of personality developed by Swiss psychiatrist Carl G. Jung to explain the normal differences between healthy people. Based on his observations, Jung concluded that differences in behaviour result from people’s inborn tendencies to use their minds in different ways. As people act on these tendencies, they develop patterns of behaviour. Susan Parry M.Ed

  7. Jung’s 8 basic types… • Jung’s psychological type theory defines eight different patterns of normal behaviour, or types, and gives an explanation of how types develop. Susan Parry M.Ed

  8. Components of Jung’s Picture of Personality • Perceiving • taking in information, • Judging • organizing that information and coming to conclusions, Jung observed that when people’s minds are active they are involved in one of two mental activities: Susan Parry M.Ed

  13. Extraverted(E) • Attuned to the external environment • Prefer to communicate by talking • Work out ideas by talking • Learn best by doing or discussing • Sociable and expressive • Readily take initiative in work and relationships Susan Parry M.Ed

  14. Introverted(I) • Drawn to their inner world • Prefer to communicate in writing • Work out ideas by reflecting on them • Learn best by reflection, mental “practice” • Focus in in depth on their interests • Private and contained • Takes initiative when the situation is important to them Susan Parry M.Ed

  16. Jung focused on the eight… • Jung focused on accurately describing the eight dominant functions, but he also saw that people use the other functions in a kind of hierarchy of preference. . Susan Parry M.Ed

  17. Briggs and Myers went from 8 types to 16… • Briggs and Myers developed Jung’s idea into 16 types indicated by the MBTI. Susan Parry M.Ed

  18. MBTI TYPES Susan Parry M.Ed

  19. Now the test….please write your signature on a piece of paper… Susan Parry M.Ed

  20. Now write your signature with your other hand… Susan Parry M.Ed

  21. Do you have a natural preference? • How would you describe the experience of writing your name with your preferred hand? • With your non-preferred hand? Susan Parry M.Ed

  22. Preferred hand…. • Feels natural • Didn’t think about it • Effortless easy • Looks neat, legible, adult Susan Parry M.Ed

  23. Non –preferred hand • Feels unnatural • Had to concentrate while doing it • Awkward and clumsy • Looks child- like Susan Parry M.Ed

  24. Hand preference illustrates the theory of preferences in the MBTI… • You can use either hand when you have to, and you use both hands regularly; but for writing, one is natural and competent, while the other requires effort and feels awkward. • When we use our preferred methods, we are generally at our best and feel most competent, natural and energetic. Susan Parry M.Ed

  25. The MBTI preferences indicate the differences in people… • Where they prefer to focus their attention and get energy extraversion(E) or Introversion (I) • The way they prefer to take in information Sensing(S) or Intution(N) • The way they prefer to make decisions Thinking (T) or Feeling (F) • How they orient themselves to the external world – with a judging process(J) or a perceiving (P) process Susan Parry M.Ed

  26. A quick overview of the types… Susan Parry M.Ed

  27. Extroverts (E) • Like to focus on the outer world of people and activity. They direct their energy and attention outward and receive energy from interacting with people and taking action. Susan Parry M.Ed

  28. Introverts (I) • Like to focus on their own inner world of ideas and experiences. They direct their energy and attention inward and receive energy from reflecting on their thoughts, memories and feelings. Susan Parry M.Ed

  29. Sensing (S)how you take in information • Like to take in information that is real and tangible – what is actually happening. They are observant about the specifics of what is going on around them and are especially attuned to practical realities. Susan Parry M.Ed

  30. Intuition (N) how you take in information • They like to take information by seeing the big picture, focusing on the relationships and connections between the facts. They want to grasp patterns and are especially attuned to seeing new possibilities. Susan Parry M.Ed

  31. Thinking (T) When making decisions… • They like to look at the logical consequences of a choice or action. They want to mentally remove themselves from the situation to examine the pros and cons objectively. They are energized by critiquing and analyzing to identify what’s wrong with something so they can solve the problem. Their goal is to find a standard or principle that will apply in all similar situations. Susan Parry M.Ed

  32. Feeling (F) when making decisions • They like to consider what is important to them and to others involved. They mentally place themselves into the situation to identify with everyone so they can make decisions based on their values about honouring people. They are energized by appreciating and supporting others and look for qualities to praise. Their goal is to create harmony and treat each person as a unique individual. Susan Parry M.Ed

  33. Judging (J)dealing with the outer world • They like to live in a planned, orderly way, seeking to regulate and manage their lives. They want to make decisions, come to closure, and move on. Their lives tend to be structured and organized, and they like to have things settled. Sticking to a plan and schedule is very important to them, and they are energized by getting things done. Susan Parry M.Ed

  34. Perceivingdealing with the outer world • They like to live in a flexible, spontaneous way, seeking to experience and understand life, rather than control it. • Detailed plans and final decisions feel confining to them; they prefer to stay open to new information and last-minute options. • They are energized by their resourcefulness in adapting to the demands of the moment. Susan Parry M.Ed

  35. Don’t be fooled…. • The MBTI terms are somewhat different from everyday use. • Extravert does not mean talkative or loud. • Introvert does not mean shy or inhibited • Feeling does not mean emotional • Judging does not mean judgemental • Perceiving does not mean perceptive. Susan Parry M.Ed

  36. Time to find out who you really are…. • We will be in the computer lab taking a simplified version of the Myers-Briggs Test online at…. • http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp • Remember each personality type is valued…none is “the best” type. Susan Parry M.Ed

  37. All About Me… • http://www.wikio.com/video/toby-keith---wanna-talk-2664216 • Hand outs of the Myers-Briggs personality types • Find someone with a different personality type than you are and discuss how a team leader at a school would bring out the best in everyone. • How do personality differences affect staff meetings? School decision making? Pro-D? Teaching students? Susan Parry M.Ed

  50. Rather than all about me… The MBTI is useful to appreciate and make constructive use of differences. Applying type can move us from irritation with the differences to acceptance. With work, we can move beyond acceptance to finding ways to use people’s differences constructively. Susan Parry M.Ed
