ADVANTAGES OF MBTI Self awareness for better self-management Identification of behaviour trends thathave positive outcomes Identification of behaviour trends thathave less desirable outcomes Link trends with other data points toclarify personal or professionaldevelopmental opportunities

14.
DISADVANTAGES OF MBTI Trying to predict others behaviour Trying to estimate another individual type(eg. You must be an extravert because youare so gregarious) Assuming that how a preference plays foryou is exactly how it would play out forsomeone else Justifying behavior (eg. Declaring that theindividual must be P because he is alwayslate)
