Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 10 page paper discussing the
personality type indicator based on Jungian principles. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
is a self-reporting personality inventory and indicates the respondent's preferences on four
personality type dimensions: Extroversion (E) or Introversion (I); Sensing (S) or Intuition (N);
Thinking (T) or Feeling (F); and Judging (J) or Perceiving (P). It has been in use for more than
50 years, as has been the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). The MMPI was
revised in 1986 to become the MMPI-2 and is more relevant to today's experiences, but the MBTI
still is seen as being the most useful of the two instruments. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

on four personality type dimensions: Extroversion (E) or Introversion (I); Sensing (S) or Intuition (N); Thinking (T) or Feeling (F); and Judging (J) or Perceiving (P). There are
16 possible combinations of these basic four. There are several forms of the instrument available, each of which is intended for some specific use. The greatest number of forms
have been authored by Myers and Briggs, but one commonly used form is a more recent addition authored by another researcher. Both the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Minnesota Multiphasic
Personality Inventory have been used largely interchageably over the years for personality type assessment. The MMPI was upgraded several years ago, but its detractors claim it is still insufficient
in its degree of relevance to much of the population. Comparison of the two instruments indicates that it is the Myers-Briggs model that is most reliable in identifying personality
type. Introduction The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a self-reporting personality inventory designed to provide users with information regarding their Jungian psychological types preferences. The test was originally developed
by Isabel Briggs Myers and Katherine Cook Briggs. They began developing the test based on Jungs theories in the early 1940s. Specifically, the authors were attempting to make Jungs theory
of human personality understandable and useful to people in their daily lives. MBTI Measurement The MBTI indicates the respondents preferences on four personality type dimensions:
Extroversion (E) or Introversion (I) Sensing (S) or Intuition (N) Thinking (T) or Feeling (F) Judging (J) or Perceiving (P) The results are typically reported in letters as indicated
next to each of the preferences listed above. There are a total of 16 combination possibilities, in other words, 16 Myers-Briggs Type Indicator types: ISTJ, ISTP, ESTP, ESTJ, ISFJ, ISFP,
