 What is personality?

A person’s preferred style of behaviour

We are “creatures of habit”
So, tend to be consistent over time and situations
If behaviour or personality wasn’t reliable, there’d be no
point in measuring it
One measurement systems is the Myer Briggs Type
Indicator – similar to the one just performed
 Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
▪ What the MBTI is:
• Measure of our dominant preferences for taking in
information and making decisions
• May not be polarised clearly between scales
• So, you can be “a little of both”
• No profile is better or worse than another
• Helps explain our working style preferences
• Based on the theory of Carl Jung
▪ What the MBTI isn’t:
• A measure of abilities – it’s not a test
• No right or wrong answers
• Tool is an ‘indicator’ – you can agree or disagree
