Myers-Briggs type indicator

Personality inventory designed to give people information about their psychological type according to Jungian philosophy. The indicator was developed in the USA by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katherine Cook Briggs in the early 1940s to make Carl Jung's theory of human personality useful and more accessible.

Myers-Briggs type indicator results divide the respondent's preferences into four areas: extraversion (E) or introversion (I); sensing (S) or intuition (N); thinking (T) or feeling (F); and judging (J) or perceiving (P). Results are usually expressed as four letters indicating the respective preferences: an example would be ENTP. The MBTI is used for a variety of purposes such as team building, management training, organization development, career development, and self-development. Over three million MBTIs are administered each year in the USA alone.
