The results of the Myers Briggs test were both revelatory and reassuring. I started to realise, for the first time, that I was not alone, that my behaviour was 'normal' and that there were other people in the world who thought and reacted like me.

What is MBTI?
As the most widely used personality instrument in the world, the purpose of the
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is to make the theory of psychological types described by C J Jung (1921 - 1971) understandable and useful in people's lives.
The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random variation in behaviours is actually quite orderly and consistent due to basic differences in the way individuals prefer to use their perception and judgement.
Perception involves all the ways of becoming aware of things, people, happenings, or ideas. Judgement involves all the ways of coming to conclusions about what has been perceived. If people differ systematically in what they perceive and in how they reach conclusions, then it is only reasonable for them to differ correspondingly in their interests, reactions, values, motivations and skills.
In developing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the aim of Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Briggs, was to make the insights of type theory accessible to individuals and groups.
Divided into sixteen broad personality types, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator ® instrument allows individuals to look at uniqueness as our strength, our styles as useful and our perceptions as assets.
All told, that can be a strong foundation on which to pursue our goals and desires. And the benefits extend beyond ourselves: accepting the contributions of those who are fundamentally different from us can begin only when we start from the premise that there is no one 'best style'.
