Myers-Briggs Personality Profiling

An MBTI® Personality Profile is useful for people who require an understanding of and an insight into: self development, career development, relationship counselling, organisation development, change management, management and leadership training, team building and communication training.

Understanding why everyone is different

Have you ever wondered why you can relate easily to some people and not to others? Do some things stress you while other people find them exciting or enjoyable? Why is it that some people frustrate you and yet seem to get along with other people just fine?

Everyone is born with preferences in life and these preferences form our personalities. The trouble is, we tend to assume that everyone else’s mind works in the same way as ours. Everyone is unique and quite often, the people with whom we interact do not reason as we reason, they don’t value the things we value and often they are not interested in what interests us. We mistakenly assume that other people are thinking the same ‘way’ as we do. Conflict, emotional upset and misunderstanding arises because everyone’s minds operate quite differently.

Variations in our behaviours are not due to chance. We are all born with a set of preferences – the way we naturally prefer to do things.


 

What to look out for

Think about this…

  1. Where do you prefer to place your attention?
    1. Internally: with your own ideas, thoughts and impressions.
    2. Externally: on other people, events, activities and things.
  2. How do you prefer to gather information?
    1. Sensing: you look for evidence of proven data and past experiences
    2. Intuition: you look for patterns, future possibilities and hidden meanings
  3. How do you prefer to make decisions?
    1. Thinking: you use logic and you base decisions on principles, goals and logical analysis
    2. Feeling: you weigh your personal values to make decisions and you decide what is most important for people
  4. What kind of lifestyle do you lead?
    1. Judging: you prefer to be planned and organised, seeking closure
    2. Perceiving: You prefer to be spontaneous and flexible, ready to explore new options

The benefits for individuals

Imagine you have chosen all of the ‘A’ options (above), and your partner or work colleague has chosen all the ‘B’ options … you could be in for some interesting times! Understanding your own Myers-Briggs Psychological Type:

  • Helps you to understand and accept yourself
  • Helps you to understand and accept others
  • Facilitates communication
  • Help you to respect each person’s unique contribution
  • Enhances work team effectiveness
  • Helps you to understand why we get along with some people more easily than others

The benefits for teams

Team members can use type preferences to better understand themselves and how each team member individually functions. Team members will be able to understand their teammates and the contributions they make to the team. Understanding your type can also benefit in the following areas: relationship counselling, career choice, self development and stress management.

How is my assessment conducted?

We know that you'll want to discuss your results with an accredited Myers-Briggs consultant. So, after you enrol, you will be sent a question and answer sheet that you can complete in your own time and space. We recommend a relaxed environment away from your desk.

Return your sheets to Corelink and a consultant will contact you within 7 days to discuss your results and suggest strategies for your particular type. This is where we can discuss causes of stress, your career, your communication styles and relationship matters.

Ongoing coaching can be a result and more information on this service is available from your consultant.

Duration

Answering the questions takes about half an hour. Your results will take up to 7 days and your consultation will be conducted over the telephone.
