Myers Briggs Type Instrument Step I, II and Teams

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is based on over 50 years’ research and development. Used worldwide, it captures the key differences between people, enabling a greater understanding and interaction with others. This tool is easy to use for all individuals to deal with life or work issues as required. As such it is ideal for dealing with both personal and professional challenges.

The MBTI questionnaire describes an individual's personality preferences. There are no right or wrong answers. It merely identifies how you prefer to act. This tool is relevant to work, organisations, personal growth and life choices.

Leadership

Understanding difference between people is essential to include understanding yourself. The way we prefer to operate has an impact upon others and its resultant consequences. This tool assists you to understand your own way of operating, how to use your strengths and to develop your style to relate to others around you. This is vital to successfully relating to others in and out of the working environment. This will additionally develop your broader communication skills with others.

Teams

Step I will allow for individuals to understand each others types and how that plays out in daily work and interaction. Use of the step II tool allows for a deeper analysis of individuals preferences across a wide scale and produces valuable data for a team to really understand the impact and effectiveness of their way of operating.

Using this tool on team members will heighten awareness of each others styles and so learn how to operate as a team more effectively. It is a great way to examine the team strengths as a whole and to identify gaps in the team performance and how to fill them. This is important not only for the team members but for all those who work or operate with the team and the impact that the team has on them.

Conflict

The tool is very helpful in self-evaluation, explicitly emphasising the positive contribution that each type can make. It can also help in dealing with conflict in relationships as it focuses on valuing differences between people and improving understanding and co-operation.

It also helps you to understand when conflict occurs with your preferred style of operating and how this can produce stress. Understanding this will enable you to manage your own stress more effectively.

Change Management

Individuals with different type preferences tend to experience change and the process of transition in quite different ways. Building awareness of these different reactions can help managers and organisations support their staff and themselves through organisational change.

Problem-Solving

The questionnaire gives an insight into potential strengths and blind-spots in problem-solving, encouraging individuals and groups to improve the depth and breadth of their analyses.
