23 Application of MBTI About 2 million MBTI tests are given in the USA every year There are both supporters and detractors of the test (see Myers-Briggs on Wikipedia) We like to use it to familiarize you with such tests as they are used in industry for team building, marketing, group dynamics, counseling, etc.

24 Taking the Myers-Briggs Test 70 Questions 2 Answers for each Answer truthfully Probably best to “Go for it” rather than agonize over each answer.

25 Scoring Your Test Put check mark in correct box for each question per the numbers on the score sheet Make sure that you are scoring the correct question.
