Overview

The Myers-Briggs type indicator instrument is a tool designed to help participants identify their unique gifts and enhance their understanding of self, their motivations, their natural strengths and their potential areas for growth. The Myers-Briggs type indicator also helps participants to understand and appreciate others who differ from them. The MBTI is an invaluable tool in developing effective communication skills by establishing an understanding of what motivates people to behave in a particular way. Differences between people can be a source of misunderstanding and miscommunication if these are not understood.

Course Content

The workshop provides a detailed personality analysis of each participant through a self-scoring questionnaire. The MBTI has been used globally for more than 60 years. It explains the basic patterns of human functioning and enhances self-understanding and personal development. The participants learn the fundamental patterns of mental activity available to individuals. The natural preference for one of these functions over the others leads individuals to develop habits of behaviour and personality patterns.
