The Myers-Briggs Typology Indicator Presented by Paul Krikau
What is the Myers-Briggs? An instrument to make Jung’s theories accessible and useable in everyday life. It is currently the most widely used personality preference instrument in the world. A tool that reflects an individual’s preferences, but does NOT measure abilities, likelihood for success, intelligence, skills, maturity, or mental health. A tool for helping people understand each other’s differences.
