Video & audio overview of the worksheet
What is the theory behind the worksheet?
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test is based on a combination of typed pairs regarding certain personality factors and preferences. This assessment provides you with a guideline of personality traits that you may exhibit as preferences or strengths.
This theory can help you focus on areas of strength and areas that are less comfortable for you that you can develop through focused attention. These guidelines can help increase your self-awareness and understanding, and help you develop as a holistic person. You can use this to focus on your development and action plans to meet goals.
How will the worksheet help?
This worksheet offers you some ideas on how to use the strengths of your MBTI type. After you have taken the test on the Myers & Briggs Foundation website you will be notified which of the 16 personality types match your answers.
This worksheet can help you use this personality type to further develop holistically.
How to use the worksheet?
Try the suggested activities in the worksheet and reflect on how they felt for you. These activities use the strengths of your MBTI personality type to provide you with social and personal development. Remember that these activities are meant to be enjoyed.
