MBTI
- Measures psychological preferences in how people percieve the world and make decisions
- No 'right' or 'wrong' type
At the time that Jung was writing, the mother‐daughter team of Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers was also studying personality differences in the United States. When Jung’s Psychological Types was first translated into English in 1923, they noticed the similarity between his types and the differences that they had documented. Their continued study over the next 20 years convinced them that Jungian types did indeed exist, and Briggs and
Myers were determined to make them available to everyone in a practical format. Myers began the development of an actual pencil and paper indicator in 1942.
