MBTI GUIDELINES
A persons psychological type should be regarded as a working hypothesis. Everyone uses every preference. We favor, however, one preference over the other on each of the four scales. MBTI scores should not be over interpreted. High scores do not indicate greater skill, magnitude, or use of a preference. Scores indicate clarity of choice. Psychological type can explain some human behaviornot all. Type should not be used as an excuse for doing or not doing something. Avoid stereotyping someone on the basis of his or her type. MBTI Team Building Program
Type Theory
Based on the work of Carl Jung Researched normal differences between healthy people Jung concluded that differences in behavior result from inborn tendencies to use your mind in different ways. As we act on these tendencies, we develop patterns of behavior.
Sign your name on the line as you normally do. Sign your name again, but this time use your other hand. Everyone has a natural preference for one of the two opposites on each of the four MBTI continuums. When we use our preferred methods we are at our best and feel most competent.
