About the MBTI
It is often said about a person that “there is more to them than meets the eye.” The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a versatile tool which can help you get below the surface to explore and understand your own personality as well as that of others. Based on Carl Jung’s theory of psychological types the tool utilises a framework which identifies your preferences for where you like to focus your attention, how you gather information,how you make decisions and how you prefer to live your life. The instrument is unique in that each preference is regarded as equally valid, with the focus being on the positive qualities and strengths of the different personality styles.
After completing a short questionnaire you receive face-to-face feedback from staff trained in its interpretation and application.
In the workplace it has a variety of applications including:
♦ Self-awareness and personal development
♦ Team development
♦ Management & leadership training
♦ Problem solving
♦ Resolving conflict and improving communication
♦ Career development
At SHARE we think the MBTI can be used in a number of
ways to help us in our work with individuals and organisations:
♦ On an individual basis it can be used to assist with coaching or career planning
♦ With teams at any level it can be used to support in-house team-building activities, to help develop awareness and understanding of the different ways people operate
♦ With Senior teams in helping to improve communication, explore problem solving and resolve conflict
♦ To support personal development as part of a structured programme or on a one-to-one basis
Our approach will be flexible and tailored to meet your needs.
