MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR

Your personality has large influence on the type of work that is suitable for you and how you react to and work with others.

The more you know about yourself, the more likely you are to getting a good match between you and your career. Knowing yourself and your personality type can also help you develop your performance as you will be able to identify possible strengths and weaknesses.

We all have preferred styles and ways of doing things.

Do you prefer to work with others or alone?
Do you prefer to work with concrete facts or ideas?
Do you prefer to make decisions taking into account others feelings or by applying a consistent set of rules?
Do you dislike working under time pressure?

Through answering these type of questions, The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) will help you find out what personality type you are and therefore, what type of careers are best suited to you.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is the world's most popular personality measure and through a vast amount of research, has been found to be unbelievably accurate. It describes an individual's preferences across four different dimensions. The various combinations of these preferences result in sixteen personality types associated with a unique set of behavioural characteristic.
