MBTI is an assessment tool used to indicate your ‘personality type’. It was created by Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers based on the work of Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst.

Your personality type describes your preferences in how you interact with other people and your environment, how you take in information and how you make decisions. Knowing about type theory, and knowing in detail about your own type can be helpful in all sorts of ways. These include but are not limited to:

• Understanding yourself

• Knowing and using your strengths

• Guiding self development

• Guiding what kind of work you may find enjoyable and meaningful

• Improving relationships with others in your life

There is a lot of information online about MBTI types, there are also shortened free versions of the test. I am certified to provide the official test, reports and feedback. With these you can be assured of quality of information which is consistent with the extensive research which has been done to make sure the test really says what we think it does (i.e. validity).

You can find out more about MBTI here.

I personally think the MBTI provides an excellent framework for understanding and developing yourself. It can also help groups of people understand each other and work better together as a result, making full use of the strengths different individuals can offer.

My MBTI personality type is INFJ.

If you decide to book an assessment I will arrange for an account to be set up for you on the MBTI platform ‘OPP Assessment’. This will generate an email to you with log in details for the platform and a link to take the test. We will book a date and time to meet for a feedback session.

The test takes approx. 20-30 minutes to complete. You will do this on your own at least 48 hours prior to our feedback session.

Once you have completed the assessment I can order your preferred report summarising your results. More details on report options can be found below.

During our feedback session I will provide your report and go through the results. I will ensure you know what your results mean, and give you ideas on how you could make use of them.

If you wish to book in additional coaching sessions to further make use of the information and insight gained from the assessment feedback we would discuss and agree the goals and focus of this work together.

Feedback sessions can be booked for 1 hour (£110) or 1 hour 30 minutes (£165) depending on preference for how much depth you would like feedback to go into. If you are unsure please book 1 hour and see how you feel following this.

The cost of each report is in addition to my hourly feedback rate. It is not possible to do feedback sessions without purchasing a report. The report is how we both find out your test results. It is also not possible to order the report without having a feedback session. The MBTI organisation consider it unethical practice to complete the test without test practitioners helping ensure your online test results fit you correctly and that you understand what your results mean.
