What the MBTI is...
The MBTI:

• is a measure of our dominant preferences for

taking in information & making decisions

• helps to explain our working style preferences

• profiles are no better or worse than another

• may not be polarised clearly between scales

• that is, you can be a little of both

What the MBTI is not...
The MBTI:

• measures our abilities - it’s not a test

• there are no right or wrong answers
