5. Myers Briggs Type
Indicator (MBTI) History
• Developed in the US by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter
Isabel Briggs Myers. During the courtship of Isabel to Clarence
Myers, her future husband, her mother noticed how differently
Clarence saw the world around him and began an extensive
study on different temperaments.
• Inspired by Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung (considered one of the
founders of modern psychology), and his publication of
Psychological Types in 1921.
• MBPI first published in 1943
• In a post-WWII effort to help people know themselves and benefit
personally and professionally from their knowledge, the test
became more widespread. Today it is the most popular
personality indicator test in the world.

you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, LORD, know it completely.
