Ok, so what is the assessment that they created? And here’s a picture of them here and they were inspired by some of the work of Carl Jung on personality types, to create an assessment to try to identify these types in people, although the types are modified a bit from Jung’s work. Ok, so what is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or MBTI? So this is a personality assessment and it was created by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother Katharine Cook Briggs. So why have I put off talking about this very popular personality assessment? Well part of the reason is that there’s a number of criticisms of the Myers-Briggs that we’re gonna look at in this video, and hopefully if you’ve watched the earlier videos on personality you’ll have a better understanding of these criticisms and why they matter. But it’s mostly used for career and leadership purposes. It’s taken by over two million people each year although it’s worth noting that it’s not so widely used among personality researchers or people who use personality assessments for clinical purposes. So this is one of the most widely used personality assessments today. I’ve already made a number of videos about personality and this will be the last video in the personality unit, so some of you who’ve been watching the previous videos may have been wondering when I was going to talk about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Hi, I’m Michael Corayer and this is Psych Exam Review.
