Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) instrument has helped millions of individuals throughout the world gain awareness about themselves and how they interact with others. The MBTI® instrument enables personal and organizational transformation by giving people a powerful tool to improve how they communicate, learn and work.

The MBTI® instrument is the most widely used personality assessment in the world. More than 2 million assessments are administered to individuals annually. It is used by 89 of the Fortune 100 companies. Organisations across the world have chosen it as the personality instrument of choice for their training and development programs because it provides a common language to appreciate interpersonal differences.
