What is 16 Personality Types Test?
From early in her life, Katharine Cook Briggs was captivated by Jungโs theory of psychological types. However, she recognized that the theory as Jung explained it was too diffuse and complex for use by regular people.
She therefore set out to convey Jungโs ideas in a simple way so that anyone would be able to recognize personality types in action in everyday life. She felt passionately that through understanding personality types, people would be better able to use their own strengths and appreciate the diverse gifts of others.
Katharine’s work was picked up by her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers, who became interested in the theory as a way to help with the war effort during WWII. Isabel clarified the theory her mother had developed and used it as the basis of the Myers Briggs Type Indicatorยฎ, a psychological assessment designed to sort people into one of sixteen personality types.
She created detailed descriptions of each of the 16 types, and explored applications of her theory in academics, business, and personal development.
