Myers-Briggs Type Indicator - The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), an online inventory, is the most widely used personality assessment in the world. With a proven record of reliability spanning more than 50 years, it offers a foundation for understanding individual differences and applying that understanding to the ways people think, communicate, and interact.  The Myers-Briggs reports your preferences on 4 of 8 possible items and there are 16 personality types possible.  The MBTI tool helps you learn about occupational choices that would best match your personality and how your personality preferences fit into different work environments.

The MBTI assessment is available to take online through JobGrove at a nominal cost.  We recommend that you contact our office to schedule a follow-up appointment to interpret the results with a counselor.
