MBTI® in Business The MBTI® is based on the theories of Swiss psychologist Carl G Jung and developed over a number of years by Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers to make it accessible and applicable to the business community. Since then, there have been over 40 years of research and many papers published on the MBTI®. It is now the leading personality type indicator in use within the business world for business people and for team-building. It is well known that different people act very differently to similar events or circumstances. MBTI® is therefore aimed at exploring and understanding people's natural preferences for dealing successfully with differing situations. It is expressed in terms of how people prefer to re-energise themselves, take in information, make decisions, and what their lifestyle preferences are. For each person, the two parts of the MBTI® analysis - the questionnaire and the results of a separate in-depth discussion - are brought together by the assessor to enable the individual to identify their own preferences, understand the implications and their own potential for future growth.

MBTI® - How PPM can help

PPM can provide the individual assessment and also the requisite team facilitation to ensure that everyone understands the results of the MBTI® and employs those insights to benefit the business.

MBTI® - for the Individual

PPM can work with you to improve your self-understanding, your future potential, how you interact with others, and how to get the most of working with your colleagues.

MBTI® - for Team-Building

In a team context, PPM can facilitate the discussions to share the implications of individual assessments. This enables you to understand where other people's preferences differ for your own and helps you adapt your style of interaction accordingly to achieve the best results.

PPM can also design bespoke team-building programmes incorporating the MBTI, which work not only on improving personal and team dynamics, but also on resolving specific issues and challenges within your business.
