Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® and Team Building
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) is a nonjudgmental instrument that helps individuals and teams to understand themselves and others in a way that is value-oriented versus evaluative. MBTI provides an indication of preferences. The preferences refer to gathering energy or processing thoughts, being detail-oriented versus big-picture-focused in gathering information, being objective or subjective in decision-making, and being structured or go-with-the-flow in orienting one’s lifestyle. In this course, learners will complete a 95-question instrument and identify a four-letter MBTI type. Learners will receive a personalized report based on their responses.
