WHAT IS MYERS-BRIGGS CERTIFIED?

The world’s most trusted and widely used personality assessment, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) continues to be the leading choice of businesses—including many of the Fortune 500—for developing a high performance workforce. A versatile tool, the MBTI assessment provides individuals with greater understanding of their own and others’ personality preferences. With more than 3 million assessments administered annually, the MBTI tool is the right choice for building more successful teams, improving communication and productivity, managing conflict, developing effective leaders and guiding careers.
