MBTI Overview & History
Based on Carl Jung’s work and theory of psychological types “Seemingly random variations in behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent, being due to basic differences in the way individuals prefer to use their perception and judgment.” ~ Carl Jung Carl Jung - - a Swiss psychiatrist who developed one of the most comprehensive theories of explaining human behavior He was a student of Freud. Freud taught that personality was formed by age 5. Jung didn’t buy into that and decided to part company.

What MBTI Is A tool designed to implement the theories of Carl Jung.
A tool that helps us to look at our psychological preferences and mental habits. These preferences represent consistent and enduring patterns of how we use our minds. Perform the handwriting exercise: Have them write the name Have them write their name with their other hand. Ask them: How would you describe the differences between the two experiences? Did they feel different? Are there difference in the quality of the writing? 3. Explain, when you engage in everyday behaviors that utilize your natural type preferences, They tend to feel natural, comfortable, and confident. When people engage in behaviors that call on their nonpreferences, they tend to feel unnatural, Uncomfortable, and less confident. And may tend to find ways to avoid those tasks. With practice, people can develop greater confidence and competence in their nonpreferences. However, it does take energy and effort to learn to use them, just as it woulld to learn to write with your Nondominate hand.

Why MBTI is Useful As a self development tool to help us evaluate our preferences. By being aware of our own and others’ preferences, improvement can be made in areas such as: Communication Team Building Problem Solving Conflict Resolution
